Short term studies (less than 3 months) on psychostimulants show that there's 70% response to stimulant
Term

Long term studies of psychostimulants for ADHD show persistent positive effects
Term

Van Hoofdakker et al 2007
Definition
Behavioural training shown to be useful in reducing behavioural and internalizing problems in ADHD
Term
Berkley et al 1992
Definition

Term
Jensen et al 1999
Definition
NIMH multi-model treatment study, found combined meds and behavioural treatment best at reducing oppositional/aggressive symptoms in ADHD, but at long term follow up the differences had narrowed.
Term
Torgersen 1983
Definition
Strong genetic component for panic disorder, shown by twin studies. Shared environment equally similar and equally dissimilar.
Term
Biological triggers for Panic
Definition
Yohimbine, Caffeine, Carbon dioxide, soduim lactate
Term
Clark 1986
Definition
Cycle for panic disorder: trigger stimulus (internal or external) -> perceived threat, apprehension, bodily sensations and catastrophic misinterpretation in a loop.
Term
McNally et al. 1990
Definition
modified stroop task, four different sheets of words. Panic p's showed more interference for all threat words, particularly catastrophe threat words. controls also slowed down by these words, but not as much.
Term
Clark et al. 1997
Definition
Panic disorders compared to social phobics and controls in their interpretations of ambiguous scenarios. Panic disorder p's endorse more negative interpretations of internal stimuli. This reduced after successful treatment.
Term
Ehlers et al 1998
Definition
false heart-rate feedback, panic disorder p's showed greater increases in anxiety (physical and psychological) in response to false heart rate information
Term
Clark et al 1988
Definition
reading out pairs of words intended to activate catastrophic misinterpretations, triggered panic in 80% panic disorder p's.
Term
Sanderson et al 1989
Definition
Give p's the perception of control over how much carbon dioxide they breath in, they panic less. Altering cognitions can stop the biological affect
Term
Salkovskis et al 1996

safety behaviours provide a meaningful link between cognitions and behaviours for Panic Disorder patients
Term
Salkovskis et al 1999
