Answer to Question 1

Inattention refers to an inability to sustain attention or stick to tasks or play activities, to and follow through on instructions or rules, and to resist distractions. It also involves difficulties in planning and organization and in timeliness and problems in staying alert. With hyperactivity, recordings of body movements indicate that even when they sleep, children with ADHD display more motor activity than other children (Teicher et al., 1996). However, the largest differences are found in situations requiring the child to inhibit motor activityto slow down or sit still in response to the structured task demands of the classroom. Children who are impulsive seem unable to bridle their immediate reactions or think before they act. They may take apart an expensive clock with little thought about how to put it back together. It's very hard for them to stop an ongoing behavior or to regulate their behavior in accordance with the demands of the situation or the wishes of others.
