Attentional problems cause executive dysfunction and often affect the hot and cold executive functions. This study aims to compare the sensitivity to reward and punishment, response inhibition and sustained attention between school boys with ADHD and SCT. Methods This is a casual-comparative study. Participants were 100 elementary school male students (50 with ADHD and 50 with SCT) in Tabriz, Iran in the academic year 2019-20, who were selected through a screening method and based on the Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham-IV (SNAP-IV) and the SCT questionnaires. The Balloon analogue risk task was used to measure the sensitivity to reward and punishment, while the continuous performance test was used to measure response inhibition and sustained attention. For data analysis, multivariate analysis of variance was performed in SPSS v.20 software. Results The boys with ADHD had higher scores in sensitivity to reward, while those with SCT had higher scores in sensitivity to punishment. Moreover, the boys with ADHD had deficits in response inhibition, while those with SCT had deficits in sustained attention (P<0.0001). Conclusion It seems that school boys with SCT have deficits in hot executive functions, and those with ADHD have problems in cold executive functions.

Attention problems also cause malfunctions in executive functions, often involving the hot circuit and the cold circuit. The purpose of this study was to compare the sensitivity to reward and punishment, response inhibition and sustained attention in children with ADHD and SCT. Methods: The design of the present study was in the frame of Casual Comparative. Participants comprised 100 boys (50 ADHD and 50 SCT) from elem entary schools in Tabriz in 1398-1399 academic years, which were selected through a screening method using the Child Behavior Rating Scale (SNAP-IV) and the SCT scale. Then, balloon analogue risk task (BART) was used to measure the sensitivity to reward and punishment and the continuous performance test was used to measure response inhibition ...
