The study examined the relationship between working memory and ADHD symptoms in children aged 6-12. Correlation analyses found the Digit Span and Arithmetic subtests of the WISC-IV were most related to inattentive ADHD symptoms, while Letter Number Sequencing was not significantly correlated. Digit Span Backward was more strongly correlated with inattention than the combined Digit Span scale. Regression analyses showed Arithmetic predicted inattentive symptoms, working memory index predicted hyperactive symptoms, and Digit Span Backward predicted combined ADHD symptoms. The results suggest individual subtests may be more useful than composite scores for understanding ADHD and its subtypes.
