Why the Diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Matters 1Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Division, Department of Psychiatry, University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, Iowa City, IA, USA 2Neuroscience Program, Pappajohn Biomedical Institute, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA, USA Background: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common and challenging childhood neurobehavioral disorders. ADHD is known to negatively impact children, their families, and their community. About one-third to one-half of patients with ADHD will have persistent symptoms into adulthood. The prevalence in the United States is estimated at 5–11%, representing 6.4 million children nationwide. Objectives: We examined factors associated with making and receiving the diagnosis of ADHD. Methods: We reviewed scientific articles looking for factors that impact the identification and diagnosis of ADHD and articles that demonstrate naturalistic outcomes of diagnosis and treatment.

5 Must-Have Google Search Tips for Students Most of us begin any simple quest for knowledge with a Google search. So it makes sense that more serious searches might start there, too. But is Google OK for formal research? Essential Tips for Google Research 1. Normally, Google will take a look at the set of words you type in, then try to find matches based on those words -- not necessarily in the order you type them. Example: Say you want to know who wrote something you'd like to cite: You'll get much better results for the citation if you put it in quotation marks and look for an exact match. Another use case: Found a good quote in the novel you're reading for class? Bonus: You can also use this as a tool for fact-checking. 2. By typing “OR” (in capital letters) between search terms, you're telling Google to look for matches to either term. Example: This can be helpful when you're searching for something that varying sources might describe differently. 3. Example: This comes in handy when your search query has a double meaning. 4.
Cognitive Representation of Human Action: Theory, Applications, and Perspectives Introduction Motor activities within particular environmental conditions are central dimensions of biological organism since millions of years. Important stages in evolution are mainly based on the establishment of new functional links between the motor system, related memory structures, and the perception of biological systems. Furthermore, motor actions – such as dance or sports – have always been an important element in all human cultures. Stated in a more dramatic language: “from the motor chauvinist’s point of view the entire purpose of the human brain is to produce movement … [and] all sensory and cognitive processes may be viewed as inputs that determine future motor outputs” [Ref. (1), p. 487]. For example, research in motor control contributes at exploring the principles underlying elite performance of professional athletes and musicians and devising training appropriately (2–5).
