Description:
The behavioral characteristics of the hyperactive child are described at different stages of development. Recent and sometimes controversial research findings are discussed with respect to prevalence, etiology, treatment, and outcome. It is concluded that this syndrome can best be understood in terms of interactions between social, psychological, and biological variables.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Weiss, G -- Hechtman, L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1979 Sep 28;205(4413):1348-54.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/472752" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
