Abstract
In an attempt to determine whether the commonly described deficits associated with hyperactivity — inappropriate activity, short attention span, low frustration tolerance, and impulsivity — are unique to this population, hyperactive, behavior problem, asthmatic, and normal control children were studied. The tests most often used in research with hyperactives were administered. Hyperactives, when compared to normals, did show deficits in the aforementioned areas. However, when compared to the behavior problem and asthmatic children only the attentional deficits clearly differentiated hyperactives from the other children.Keywords
