Abstract

Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common behavioral disorders in childhood.Early neuropathological models mainly focused on inhibition deficit.Currently,attention has been paid to the motivation deficit and the rewarding mechanisms of ADHD.Based on this,it is suggested that the change of "sensitivity of reinforcement" may be an important reason of ADHD.The reinforcement sensitivity refers to the behavior which the change tendency and the range of the individual to the external stimulus,including reward sensitivity and penalty sensitivity.The neurobiological basis is the behavior approach system (BAS),the behavior inhibited system (BIS),and fight-flight-freeze system (FFFS).These three systems form the theory of reinforcement sensitivity to describe the character of personality.This review illustrates the concept of "sensitivity of reinforcement" and "the theory of reinforcement sensitivity",psychological measurement and experimental paradigm for sensitivity of reinforcement,the characteristics of sensitivity of reinforcement in ADHD children,and neuropathological models of altered sensitivity of reinforcement in ADHD in detail,thereby better explaining the core defects of ADHD.
