Abstract

The purpose of the present research was to identify the best treatment approach for treating impulsivity in hyperactive children. The treatment approaches investigated were two psychoeducational procedures. These approaches were examined in two groups of hyperactive children: (1) children receiving stimulant drug therapy and (2) children not receiving stimulant drug therapy. The results indicated that the use of psychoeducational treatment approaches are of value in altering the impulsive responses of hyperactive children. Consistent with the findings in follow-up studies of hyperactive children (suggesting that hyperactivity diminishes at adolescence) is the present finding that there is a developmental trend away from impulsivity in hyperactive children.
