Individuals diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often show poor performance in PM. Because age can be confounding, we decided to test PM in ADHD patients (children and adults) and healthy controls (children and adults). We examined 22 children (four females; mean age = 8.77 \u00b1 1.77) and 35 adults (14 females; mean age = 37.29 \u00b1 12.23) with ADHD, in addition to 92 children (57 females; mean age = 10.13 \u00b1 0.42) and 95 adults (57 females; mean age = 27.93 \u00b1 14.35) as healthy controls. Each participant originally wore an actigraph around the non-dominant wrist and was requested to push the event-marker at get-up time. To assess the efficiency of PM performance, we calculated the time elapsing between the end of sleep in the morning and the pushing of the event-marker button. The results showed lower PM performance in ADHD participants, regardless of age. However, the differences between ADHD and control groups were more evident in the children group. Our data seem to confirm that PM efficiency is compromised in individuals diagnosed with ADHD regardless of age, and agree with the idea of considering the PM deficit as a neuropsychological marker of ADHD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23115181","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,30]],"date-time":"2023-05-30T02:33:27Z","timestamp":1685414007000},"page":"5181","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Activity-Based Prospective Memory in ADHD during Motor Sleep Inertia"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Miranda","family":"Occhionero","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology \u201cRenzo Canestrari\u201d, University of Bologna, 40127 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6797-9266","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lorenzo","family":"Tonetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology \u201cRenzo Canestrari\u201d, University of Bologna, 40127 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"Conca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Psychiatry, San Maurizio Hospital, 39100 Bolzano, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3252-8083","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sara","family":"Giovagnoli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology \u201cRenzo Canestrari\u201d, University of Bologna, 40127 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giancarlo","family":"Giupponi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Psychiatry, San Maurizio Hospital, 39100 Bolzano, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marina","family":"Zoppello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Child Neuropsychiatry Unit, Istituto di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico Mondino Foundation, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8438-7828","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vincenzo","family":"Natale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology \u201cRenzo Canestrari\u201d, University of Bologna, 40127 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"434","DOI":"10.1093\/ije\/dyt261","article-title":"ADHD prevalence estimates across three decades: An updated systematic review and meta-regression analysis","volume":"43","author":"Polanczyk","year":"2014","journal-title":"Int.
