Time estimation was poorer in ADHD children, who showed more impulsive errors. ERPs exhibited similar grand-mean waveforms for both groups during the estimating period, but they were significantly different during the reproducing stage, when an early positive wave over frontal regions characterized the control group, interpreted as memory-guided motor output, followed by a slow negativity probably reflecting an inhibitory motor closure process, both probably involving central executive networks that seem to be improperly activated in ADHD children.

Objective: To evaluate electrophysiologically Barkley´s theory (1997). Subjects and methods: We studied the electroencephalogram (EEG) of fifteen right-handed, normal limit IQ ADDH children (inattentive subtype), aged 7-11 years, and a control group. Subjects were studied at rest, with the eyes open (RO) while performing a time estimation task (ET). Forty-two data matrices were analyzed in three conditions: RO, ET and ET-RO, to assess broad-band spectral parameters; the anteriority, temporal-referenced and laterality quotients (Aq, Aqt and Lq, respectively); and the theta/alpha and theta/beta ratios. Results: Analyses of variance revealed significant differences for ES-RA, in absolute (Aq & Aqt) and relative powers (Aq). Discriminant function analysis was able to predict group membership with an accuracy over 80%, but it decreased slightly when the leave-oneout method was applied. Linear discrimination based on right hemisphere Aqt values showed the highest discrimination accuracy. Conclusions: These results support Barkley's theory, suggesting further evaluation of the temporal-referenced anteriority quotient as a promising electrophysiological tool for the diagnosis and follow up of ADDH children.
