Abstract
Creativity, measured by the Torrance nonverbal thinking test, was compared in 19 boys with ADHD and 21 control subjects.
Highlights
Torrance scores were 7% lower in boys with ADHD compared to controls
The results suggest that impulsivity, a characteristic of ADHD children, is not fundamental to creativity; and creativity, as measured by the nonverbal Torrance test, is not impaired by methyl¬ phenidate
VISUAL EVENT RELATED POTENTIALS, EEG, AND ADHD The effects of methylphenidate (MPH) and sodium valproate (VPA) on the visual event related potentials (VERP) and EEG of children with ADHD were evaluated at the Department of Psychology, Tel Aviv University, Israel, and North Shore University Hospital, Cornell Univ Med College, New York
Summary
Creativity, measured by the Torrance nonverbal thinking test, was compared in 19 boys with ADHD and 21 control subjects. Boys with ADHD received methylphenidate (mean dose, 0.4 mg/kg) before the first of two test sessions. Torrance scores were 7% lower in boys with ADHD compared to controls.
