Note. NC = normal control, ADHD-IA = inattentive type, ADHD-CT = combined type.

aIn some cases on the PASAT there were missing data due to technical problems in the computer recording responding. This included missing data for one ADHD-CT participant, two ADHD-IA participants, and one NC participant for PASAT measures only.
