Department of Psychonomics, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
J Child Psychol Psychiatry 49:848-57. 2008..Some studies suggest that such deficits may be reduced when motivation is increased through tangible reinforcers. Whether these deficits can also be modulated by non-tangible reinforcers has hardly been studied...

Arch Clin Neuropsychol 20:457-77. 2005..Furthermore, the ADHD-C and ADHD-I subtypes did not differ from one another. Neuropsychological findings on the domains under study did not yield evidence for the distinctiveness of ADHD-C and ADHD-I subtypes...
