Complex prospective memory in adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

<h4>Objectives</h4>Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults has been associated with disturbances of attention and executive functions. Furthermore, impairments of verbal and figural retrospective memory were reported. However, little is known about the effects of ADHD o...
