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.
