Neuropsychological functioning of adults | ADHD Information
Disgusting! What's a Cerval cat? You don't mean feral, do you? I have six kitties and the idea... I can't even stand watching the video of them dispatching birds suspected of carrying avian flu!
I think I'm going to start saying, "skin a cat-skinner!" I've already started saying "kill two 'pests' with one stone" because I like birds. A pest can be those bratty kids next door!

The neuropsychological functioning of adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) was compared to that of healthy controls and individuals with mild psychiatric disorders including attentional complaints. Thirty adults in each group were examined on the Conners' Continuous Performance Test (CPT) and measures of attention, executive function, psychomotor speed, and arithmetic skills.
The ADHD group performed lower than healthy controls on most measures. However when compared to the psychiatric group, the performances of the ADHD group were not significantly lower on any of the measures.
but do chinese actually skin cats???more to ponder....
I've always said "If i'm being driven crazy, at least it's a short trip around the block". I couldn't stand a long line anyways!i have a totally irrelevant question but one that has been puzzling me for years..
why do americans add an 's' to anyway??
i hear it but i just don't get it...
Maybe it's because of the saying "theres more than one way to skin a cat"? But then ,,,who would want to? I guess we'd have to ask the chinese about that one!

What types of functions does this CPT measure, anyway? Without that info, this isn't real informative for me. Do you know, Brookelea?
