Univariate analysis of covariance testing for effects of diagnosis and interactions with sex on task measures.

Control Boys (n = 29) Control Girls (n = 11) ADHD Boys (n = 18) ADHD Girls (n = 8) Diagnosis Diagnosis x Sex

Mean (SD) Mean (SD) Mean (SD) Mean (SD) p (d) p (d)
Real-time Discounting AUC .58(.16) .60(.15) .55(.15) .41(.05) .013(.65) .050(.51)
Classic Discounting AUC .47(.32) .36(.27) .41(.29) .35(.15) .841(.05) .588(.14)
CogLoadΔCom .03(.20) -.04(.21) .01(.25) .06(.16) .440(.20) .978(.01)
MotivationΔCom .13(.18) .14(.16) .20(.21) .21(.23) .154(.37) .309(.26)

Notes: The WISC-IV General Ability Index (GAI) was included as a covariate in the model. Control = typically developing controls; ADHD = attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder; AUC = area under the curve; CogLoadΔCom = complex go/no-go commission error rate – standard go/no-go commission error rate (more positive number indicates greater increase in commission errors with greater cognitive load); MotivationΔCom = standard go/no-go commission error rate – motivational go/no-go commission error rate (more positive number indicates greater reduction in commission errors with motivational contingencies). d = Cohen’s d effect size estimate.
