Examples of inattention

inattention
All children showed evidence of at least six of the nine inattention symptoms, and at least six of the nine hyperactivity-impulsivity symptoms.
The first three scoring methods calculated separate scores for the inattention and the hyperactivity-impulsivity domains and assigned the higher of these two scores.
The indicators of these latent variables are the measured aggression and inattention 0 hyperactivity at each time point, shown in rectangles.
Inattention and hyperactive/impulsive items alternated in their sequence listed on the scale.
Though epiphenomenon, inattention is a valuable clinical index of delirium.
Explanations of such occurrences as inattention or neglect can, of course, verge on counterfactual history, with all its potential hazards.
In the present study, however, inattention 0 hyperactivity was measured across the full time course of the longitudinal study from childhood to adolescence.
A four-class model was chosen as the best fitting model, with two classes for inattention 0 hyperactivity trajectories and two for aggression trajectories.
When it came to identifying family correlates, we identified membership in classes that only differed in the trajectory of inattention 0 hyperactivity.

Can inattention/overactivity be an institutional deprivation syndrome?
Thus, parental history of inattention 0 hyperactivity did not account for the primary findings.
Only a small group of children were in the class with high levels of aggression and low levels of inattention 0 hyperactivity.
Actual scores ranged from 0 to 37 for inattention 0 hyperactivity and 0 to 28 for aggression.
