Impulse Control Impairments and Non-Referred Conduct Problems

Nigg (2001) recently proposed a disinhibition taxonomy that shows promise in isolating unique impulse control impairments related to child conduct problems. The current study investigated the relation between distinct inhibitory processes (i.e., executive and motivational inhibition), ADHD hyperacti...
