  • symptoms

 

symptoms: 1. inattention (Unaufmerksamkeit) 2. hyperactivity (Hyperaktivität) 3. impulsivity (Impulsivität)
  • increasing rates of children with ADHD (boys : girls = 4-9 : 1)

EXPERIMENT

 

use of strategies (Pressley et al., 1987) samples: children from grades 1 to 6 task & material: remember 20 sentences

  • imagery helped older (grades 4-6) but not younger children (grades 1-3)

  • the Binet test

 

– concept of mental age (MA) – intelligence quotient (IQ; Stern, 1912) = MA/age x 100

...

 

3. Cognitive changes

3.3 Intelligence

  • theoretical conceptions of intelligence
