[Quantitative electroencephalogram analysis confirms the presence of frontal lobe deficit among attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity children].

Background: [corrected] The Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity (ADDH) Barkley model predicts concomitant deficits in working memory and in the development of a sense of time as a consequence of poor behavioral inhibition.

Objective: To evaluate electrophysiologically Barkley's theory (1997).

Subjects And Methods: We studied the electroencephalogram (EEG) of fifteen right-handed, normal limit IQ ADDH children (inattentive subtype), aged 7-11 years, and a control group.
