Abstract

Early and automatic neuropsychological processes may be influenced by altered dopaminergic functions but cannot be fully explained by these or by altered reinforcement and extinction processes. The reinforcement- extinction model is excellent for understanding certain causal pathways of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but it can hardly explain the heterogeneous developmental trajectories of ADHD fully. It should be integrated into a multiple pathways model.
