Which term describes a behavior problem involving attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity?

• A. Short term memory
• B. Long term memory
• C. Attention
• D. ADHD

Answer: (D)

ADHD stands for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, a neurodevelopmental condition marked by a persistent pattern of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interferes with daily functioning. The question is asking for a term that describes a behavior problem involving all three of these aspects, and ADHD uniquely covers both attentional difficulties and disruptive, impulsive actions. Short-term memory and long-term memory refer to types of memory, not to patterns of behavior, while attention by itself is a cognitive process rather than a disorder. In practice, signs in a classroom might include trouble sustaining focus, restlessness, and impulsive actions, with presentations ranging from inattentive to hyperactive-impulsive or a combination thereof.
