Key Points

  • This study aims to explore the relationship between theory of mind deficits and executive functions in adults with ADHD.
  • Comparison of adults with ADHD to a control group
  • Assessment of theory of mind and executive function performance
  • Statistical analysis of relationships between cognitive domains
  • Confirmed deficits in both theory of mind and executive functions in adults with ADHD
  • Lack of strong correlations indicates theory of mind and executive functions may be independent

Abstract

These findings confirm deficits in both ToM and EFs in adults with ADHD. The lack of strong correlations suggests that ToM difficulties may represent a distinct cognitive domain, independent of core EF impairments.
