| Research Abstract |
This study aimed to investigate the influence of ADHD-related personality traits and endophenotypes on individual differences of executive functions measured using electrophysiological and behavioralindexes. We tried to establish a basic framework for ADHD assessment based on psycho-neuro profiles. Although brain activities during several executive tasks were modulated by impulsivity related to self-control ability, the degree of impact was not constant; instead individual differences of brain activities showed wide variations. Typical and atypical developments may have different effects on individual differences of executive functions. It is plausible that there are some of dividing ridges of the executive functions between typical and atypical developments.
