Abstract
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) replaced Hyperkinetic Reaction of Childhood as a category in DSM-III. This study evaluates the validity of the new terminology by determining whether clinical diagnoses of ADD could be predicted from scores on a number of widely used psychometric and behavioral instruments. Results suggest that ADD is an inadequately specified category. Some implications of this finding are considered.Entities:
