Impaired spatial working memory in adults with attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder: comparisons with performance in adults with borderline personality disorder and in control subjects

Abstract

The results are consistent with the claim that aspects of working memory are 'particularly impaired' in adult ADHD. Also, the BPD group had a longer deliberation time for one of the additional tasks, compared with the ADHD group, which indicated that the patient groups may have different patterns of neuropsychological impairments.
