TY - JOUR PY - 1976// TI - Attention and distractibility during reading in hyperactive boys JO - Journal of abnormal child psychology A1 - Bremer, D. A. A1 - Stern, J. A. SP - 381 EP - 387 VL - 4 IS - 4 N2 - Nonhyperactive and clinically defined hyperactive boys were administered reading tasks under "quiet" and "distracting" conditions. Hyperactive boys were less attentive to task relevant stimuli and more attentive to task irrelevant stimuli than their controls. Our results demonstrate that the previous findings of inattentiveness among hyperactive boys on laboratory tasks can be generalized to more typical school activities such as reading.
