Abstract
One hundred hyperactive children meeting research diagnostic criteria and 60 community control children were followed prospectively over an 8-year period into adolescence. Younger (12-14 years) and older (15-20 years) groups were tested on measures of academic skills, attention and impulse control, and select frontal lobe functions. At follow-up, hyperactive Ss demonstrated impaired academic achievement, impaired attention and impulse control, and greater off-task, restless, and vocal behavior during an academic task, compared with control Ss. The limited set of frontal lobe measures did not differentiate the groups. Age did not interact with group membership. However, several measures showed age-related declines in both groups. It is concluded that hyperactive children may remain chronically impaired in academic achievement, inattention, and behavioral disinhibition well into their late adolescent years.

Age showed more and larger differences than the other demographic variables, but these differences were dwarfed by differences related to referral status, and referal status accounted for more variance in total behavior problem and social competence scores than in the scores for any single item.

The use of research criteria for diagnosing children as hyperactive identifies a pattern of behavioral symptoms that is highly stable over time and associated with considerably greater risk for family disturbance and negative academic and social outcomes in adolescence than has been previously reported.

The results indicate that the greatest risk factor for the development of antisocial behavior and drug abuse is the maintenance of ADDH symptoms, which followed the onset of conduct disorder in the overwhelming majority of cases.

Results suggest that the development and maintenance of ODD into adolescence in hyperactive children is strongly associated with aggression and negative parent-child interactions in childhood.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disordered children on high doses decreased their off-task and noncompliant behavior and significantly increased their rates of compliance as well as the length of sustained compliance with maternal commands.

This quantitative, objective protocol for the clinical evaluation of stimulant drug response is feasible and cost-effective and should represent a substantial improvement over the current protocol on attention deficit disorders.

The mother-child interactions of 60 hyperactive children subdivided equally into five age levels were studied during free play and task periods in a double-blind drug-placebo evaluation of two dose levels of Ritalin, apparently reflecting a chronic lag in this pattern inhyperactive children that may be improved with stimulant medication.

It would appear that the hyperactives at adolescence still have attentional and stimulus-processing difficulties, which affect not only their academic performance but also their social functioning.

It is theorized here that attentional disorder impedes automatization of number facts; and, inasmuch as RD children receive adverse attention ratings, they, as well as ADD and H/ADD boys, exhibit this deficiency.
