Findings show ADHD children produce more false memories in a DRM task, indicating inhibition deficits may alter memory accuracy.
Key Points
Children with ADHD were more susceptible to false memory production compared to typically developing children, indicating cognitive differences.
Those with ADHD recalled fewer correct words and produced more false memories, as measured by the DRM task.
This analysis involved 28 children with ADHD and 27 typically developing children completing various assessments and tasks.
Lower inhibition scores in ADHD children correlated directly with higher rates of false memory production, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions.
