Impulsivity \npersists in adults with ADHD and might be the basis of much of the \nimpairment observed in the daily lives of such individuals. The objective \nof this study was to address the presence, and more importantly, the three \ndimensions of impulsivity: attentional, non-planning and motor, in how \nthey may relate to neuropsychological mechanisms of impulse control. We \nstudied a sample of 50 adults with ADHD and 51 healthy comparison controls \nusing the Barratt Impulsivity Scale Version 11 (BIS), and \nneuropsychological tasks, namely the Continuous Performance Task (CPT-II) \nand the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT). The ADHD group showed more signs of \nimpulsivity on the three dimensions of BIS, committed more errors of \nomission and commission on the CPT-II, and made more disadvantageous \nchoices on the IGT. These results support the existence of deficits \nrelated to three components of impulsivity: motor, cognitive, and \nattentional among adults with ADHD. Most importantly, this study also \nhighlights the complementary nature of self-report questionnaires and \nneuropsychological tasks in the assessment of impulsivity in ADHD adults. \n(\n                    <jats:italic>JINS<\/jats:italic>\n                    , 2007,\n                    <jats:italic>13<\/jats:italic>\n                    , 693\u2013698.)\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1355617707070889","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,5,24]],"date-time":"2007-05-24T04:47:59Z","timestamp":1179982079000},"page":"693-698","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":177,"title":["Impulsive behavior in adults with attention deficit\/ \nhyperactivity disorder: Characterization of attentional, motor and \ncognitive impulsiveness"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"L.","family":"MALLOY-DINIZ","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D.","family":"FUENTES","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"W.
