Abstract
The hypothesis that hyperkinetic children are stimulus-governed was tested. In a sample of 39 nonmedicated hyperkinetic boys 26 were found to be stimulus-governed. In a control sample of 20 nonmedicated boys 6 were found to be stimulus-governed. An association was found between the hyperkinetic syndrome and stimulus-governance. The hypothesis is raised that response to methylphenidate is related to stimulus-governance. Several issues raised by the research are discussed.Entities:
