... In addition to the general symptomology used to diagnose ADHD, various motor deficits are also often associated with the disorder [10] [11] [12]. Researchers have found that individuals with ADHD have associated decreases in fine motor performance that requires manual dexterity [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]. These studies suggest problems with attention may be the underlying cause of motor deficits in individuals with ADHD, in which attention is constantly being maintained through cognitive processes during such executive functions. ...

... Although the "tau effect" is generally confirmed (Karalunas et al., 2014;Kofler et al., 2013;Salunkhe et al., 2020), the effect of the two other parameters is less clear. Variables such as age (Galloway-Long et al., 2021; van Belle, van Hulst, et al., 2015; van Belle,van Raalten,et al.,Fig. 1 Shapes of ex-Gaussian distribution as parameter values are altered. The rows correspond to parameters µ, σ, and τ, respectively. ...

... However, faster RTs could also stem from practice effects arising from familiarity with the task at post-testing. Indeed, prior research on repeated RT assessments in dot-probe tasks has shown faster RTs at repeated administrations over shorter time frames (Aday & Carlson, 2019;Wise et al., 2022). ...

... Generally, studies suggest that children with ADHD process information less efficiently than their typically developing peers (Haller et al., 2021;Huang-Pollock et al., 2017Karalunas et al., 2012). Studies have generally not found evidence for group differences in the speed-accuracy trade-off (Feldman & Huang-Pollock, 2021;Haller et al., 2021;Karalunas et al., 2012) or for associations between continuously measured ADHD symptoms and the speed-accuracy trade-off (Feldman & Huang-Pollock, 2021); although, one study found evidence of increased caution in a group of children with ADHD (Fosco et al., 2019). Evidence for differences in stimuli encoding and motor response execution time is mixed. ...

... Several functional connectivity studies of olfaction elucidate the interaction of this sense with the brain's attention networks. For example, evidence suggests that connectivity between ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (vlPFC) and dorsomedial PFC (dmPFC)/anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) may mitigate the effects of olfactory distractors (Weigard et al., 2021). Such aversive sensory distraction is abated by engaging higher order neural processes that are especially potent under conditions of Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience | www.frontiersin.org ...

... Sensory processing in children has been investigated using various methods. Questionnaire-based assessments-either self-report or parent-report-have been commonly used across a large age range to examine sensory function in healthy and clinical conditions (e.g., ASD, ADHD) (Jorquera-Cabrera et al., 2017;Kamath et al., 2020;Kern et al., 2007;Leekam et al., 2007;Suzuki et al., 2019). However, questionnaires can only inform about aspects of sensory processing at the level of observable reactions. ...

... Appropriate performance in inhibition-control tasks requires increased attentional resources allocated to task demands [16]. Previous studies have shown that sustained attention is influenced by Alzheimer's disease [17], epilepsy [18], attention deficit hyperactivity disorder [19,20], and aging [21]. So far, it is not clear how the plateau environment affects sustained attention through inhibitory control mechanisms. ...

... 2-Dysfunctions of the striatum, as a target of dopaminergic pathways and an essential part of the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic circuits, underlie fully or partially the pathophysiology of these neuro-psychiatric disorders [61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76]. 3-A common feature of striatum-related disorders and the seven discussed disorders is a profound decrease in patients' ability to accurately calculate the timing of the initiation and termination of voluntary actions [205][206][207][208][209][210][211][212][213][214][215][216][217][218][219][220]. While time perception deficits have been extensively studied in the PD, SCZ, ADHD, and HD individuals, timing judgment deficits in ASD, OCD, and TS have recently begun to receive attention [205][206][207][208][209][210][211][212][213][214][215][216][217][218][219][220]. ...

... Deficits in inhibitory control are common in neurological patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or frontal lobe lesions (Floden & Stuss, 2006;Obeso et al., 2011;Voon & Dalley, 2011), as well as patients with depression, mania, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and patients fighting obesity (de Wit et al., 2012;Lipszyc & Schachar, 2010;Schachar & Logan, 1990). Although attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and schizophrenia are frequently associated with decreased inhibitory control, these effects may also be due to impairments in early attentional processes (Matzke, Hughes, et al., 2017;Weigard et al., 2019). Impaired inhibitory control may lead to impulsive behavior and intrusive, ruminating thoughts and is considered a factor increasing the likelihood of addiction and acts of aggression. ...

... Davis and Lorimer [17] proposed a method to create a cognitive model based on an action theory-based error categorization scheme that categorizes errors as either mistakes or logical errors. Weingard et al. [18] proposed a cognitive model-based approach to evaluate neuro-psychological declines during tobacco abstinence. ...
