Resumo: The involvement of deficient working memory in ADHD symptomatology has attracted intense research interest and has been scientifically substantiated. This fact provided an impetus for this study, which aims to investigate the role of working memory assessment in detecting ADHD elements in general education students in classroom settings. Therefore, 67 classroom teachers rated 130 Greek general education primary school students on the Greek-WMRS. The research findings indicated statistically significant differences in the overall score of the Greek-WMRS and in the separate score of its 20 descriptions of classroom behaviors between children clinically diagnosed with ADHD and those without. In conclusion, students’ working memory assessment in classroom settings can significantly contribute to detection of ADHD behaviors so that such classroom behaviors to be extensively assessed for an effective diagnosis.

Este hecho proporcionó un impulso para este estudio, que tiene como objetivo investigar el papel de la evaluación de la memoria de trabajo en la detección de elementos del TDAH en estudiantes de educación general en el aula. Por lo tanto, 67 maestros calificaron a 130 estudiantes griegos de educación primaria de educación general en el Greek-WMRS. Los resultados de la investigación indicaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la puntuación general del Greek-WMRS. y en la puntuación separada de sus 20 descripciones de comportamientos en el aula entre los niños diagnosticados clínicamente con TDAH y los que no lo tienen. En conclusión, la evaluación de la memoria de trabajo de los estudiantes en el aula puede contribuir significativamente a la detección de comportamientos de TDAH para que dichos comportamientos en el aula se evalúen ampliamente para un diagnóstico eficaz.O envolvimento da memória de trabalho deficiente na sintomatologia do TDAH atraiu intenso interesse de pesquisa e foi comprovado cientificamente. Esse fato impulsionou este estudo, que visa investigar o papel da avaliação da memória de trabalho na detecção de elementos de TDAH em alunos do ensino geral em ambiente de sala de aula. Portanto, 67 professores de sala de aula avaliaram 130 alunos gregos do ensino primário no Greek-WMRS. Os resultados da pesquisa indicaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas na pontuação geral do Greek-WMRS e na pontuação separada de suas 20 descrições de comportamentos em sala de aula entre crianças com diagnóstico clínico de TDAH e aquelas sem. Em conclusão, a avaliação da memória de trabalho dos alunos em ambientes de sala de aula pode contribuir significativamente para a detecção de comportamentos de TDAH, de modo que tais comportamentos em sala de aula sejam avaliados extensivamente para um diagnóstico eficaz.Research, Society and Development2021-08-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/1876610.33448/rsd-v10i10.18766Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 10; e138101018766Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 10; e138101018766Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 10; e1381010187662525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIenghttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/18766/16676Copyright (c) 2021 Effrosyni Angelopoulou; Zoi Karabatzaki; Athanasios Drigashttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAngelopoulou, EffrosyniKarabatzaki, ZoiDrigas, Athanasios2021-10-02T21:49:16Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/18766Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:38:49.348236Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
