It turns out that symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder such as fidgeting, foot-tapping and chair-swiveling are triggered by cognitively demanding tasks \u2013 like school and homework. But movies and video games don\u2019t typically require brain strain, so the excessive movement doesn\u2019t manifest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen a parent or a teacher sees a child who can sit perfectly still in one condition and yet over here they\u2019re all over the place, the first thing they say is, \u2018Well, they could sit still if they wanted to,\u2019\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/psychology\/childrenslearningclinic\/dr-rapport\/\">Mark Rapport<\/a>, director of the Children\u2019s Learning Clinic at the University of Central Florida. \u201cBut kids with ADHD only need to move when they are accessing their brain\u2019s executive functions. That movement helps them maintain alertness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scientists once thought that ADHD symptoms were always present. But previous research from Rapport, who has been studying ADHD for more than 36 years, has shown the fidgeting was most often present when children were using their brains\u2019 executive functions, particularly \u201cworking memory.\u201d That\u2019s the system we use for temporarily storing and managing information required to carry out complex cognitive tasks such as learning, reasoning and comprehension.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s10802-017-0338-x\">As recently published in the Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology<\/a>, Professor Rapport\u2019s senior doctoral student Sarah Orban and research team tested 62 boys ages 8 to 12. Of those, 32 had ADHD. Thirty did not have ADHD and acted as a control group.<\/p>\n<p>During separate sessions, the children watched two short videos, each about 10 minutes long. One was a scene from &#8220;Star Wars Episode I \u2013 The Phantom Menace&#8221; in which a young Anakin Skywalker competes in a dramatic pod-race. The other was an instructional video featuring an instructor verbally and visually presenting multistep solutions to addition, subtraction and multiplication problems.<\/p>\n<p>While watching, the participants were observed by a researcher, recorded and outfitted with wearable actigraphs that tracked their slightest movements. The children with ADHD were largely motionless while watching the Start Wars clip, but during the math video they swiveled in their chairs, frequently changed positions and tapped their feet.<\/p>\n<p>That may not seem surprising. After all, weren\u2019t the children absorbed by the sci-fi movie and bored by the math lesson? Not so, Rapport said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s just using the outcome to explain the cause,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have shown that what\u2019s really going on is that it depends on the cognitive demands of the task. With the action movie, there\u2019s no thinking involved \u2013 you\u2019re just viewing it, using your senses. You don\u2019t have to hold anything in your brain and analyze it. With the math video, they are using their working memory, and in that condition movement helps them to be more focused.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The takeaway: Parents and teachers of children with ADHD should avoid labeling them as unmotivated slackers when they\u2019re working on tasks that require working memory and cognitive processing, researchers said.<\/p>\n<p>The study builds on Rapport\u2019s earlier research, including a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/kids-with-adhd-must-squirm-to-learn\/\">2015 study that found that children with ADHD must be allowed to squirm to learn<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"How\u2019s this for exasperating: Your ADHD child fidgets and squirms his way through school and homework, but seems laser-focused and motionless sitting in front of the TV watching an action thriller.
