Fork essay[edit]

The article sounds exactly as a class essay. It should not be about ADHD, Working memory, o working memory training in general as we already have articles for that. 95% of the article is just information that does not pertain to this topic which could be summarized in a couple of lines.--131.111.185.56 (talk) 07:40, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have actually copied some info from the lead of the ADHD article as an introductory paragrahp in the lead that makes the full section on ADHD a simple fork essay, not adequate per summary style.

I also copy here the section on the hildhood Executive Function Inventory instrument (See below): I do not see its relevance for the article, since it is not even specific for WM. I copy it here because maybe might be interested in taking it to another article or creating a new one (although not sure sure if it is notable enough).--131.111.185.56 (talk) 07:48, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Childhood Executive Function Inventory[edit]

Childhood Executive Function Inventory (CHEXI) is a newly developed and promising measure of identifying young children with ADHD.[1] Instead of classifying this disorder based on a specific set of several symptoms that must be present in the individual, like in the DSM-IV-TR, CHEXI focuses only on the inhibitory control, and the working memory of the individual.[1] Studies have found CHEXI has the ability to discriminate very well between children with ADHD and normally developing children.[1] Furthermore, the results indicated by CHEXI are highly similar to those classified by parent and teacher ratings. CHEXI is still in the early stages of development. Future researchers still must determine specific cut-offs, research CHEXI using longitudinal studies,[1] and compare CHEXI ratings with many more alternative measures of ADHD[2] if CHEXI is to be one day used in clinical practice.[1]
