Reserch Fair

Since I'm a hopeful psychology major I wanted to find a table that was somewhat psychology and or neuroscience related, so when I came across the "Relating Executive Functioning Task Performances to ADHD Subscales" table and I was interested. The idea was that kids from areas of high lead concentrations (such as East Omaha) in the soil had a higher risk of being diagnosed as ADHD. They studied this by having families all over Omaha fill out ADHD diagnostics tests and get fMRI scans, and then went over the data to find any correlations. Researches found that there was in fact a correlation between ADHD like behaviors and the fuctioning scores of the East Omaha children.
