Connections From My Article To My 5 Essential Questions

Who my topic is about are children between the ages of 4 and 10. The sentence in my article that backgrounds my “Who” question is, “ADHD occurs in 3% to 5% of school-aged children”(American Psychiatric Association, 1994). What my topic is about is ADHD’s effects. The sentence in my article that backgrounds my “What” question is, “Symptoms of ADHD include high-level of activity, impulsivity, and inattentiveness, which may lead to difficulties in scholastic, social, and family context”(Cognitive Functions in Children With and Without ADHD With or Without Comorbid Learning Disabilities p. 194). When my topic is mainly focused on is 2000-2012. The sentence from my article that most likely goes with my “When” question is, “Clearly one of the limitations of this study is the lack of control of children’s cognitive abilities” (Cognitive Functions in Children With and Without ADHD With or Without Comorbid Learning Disabilities p. 201). Why my topic is about is that almost 5% to 8% of children are diagnosed. The sentence that most likely goes with my “Why” question is, “The sample consisted of 152 children ages 7-10 years. The ADHD/C group consisted of 26 children (25 boys, 1 girl; Age M=8.5 years, SD=1.10) who met the DSM-IV criteria for ADHD/C. (Cognitive Functions in Children With and Without ADHD With or Without Comorbid Learning Disabilities p. 196). How my topic is set up is for the amount of kids diagnosed with ADHD every year. The sentence that goes well with my “How” question is, “A battery of cognitive tests was administered to ADHD/C, 24 ADHD/C+LD, and 102 participants without disabilities all between the ages of 7 and 10. The results of a standard procedure proved that 80 had no disabilities, 42 had ADHD/C, and ADHD/C+LD” (Cognitive Functions in Children With and Without ADHD With or Without Comorbid Learning Disabilities p. 194).
