The studies presented in the current thesis aimed to
extend the present literature on the role of reinforcement
contingencies such as reward and penalty in attention-
deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
The findings suggest an aberrant sensitivity in ADHD 
to monetary gain and loss in terms of performance and
psychophysiological measures.
The findings suggest that when children with ADHD are
reinforced immediately and frequently, performance in
ADHD may increase to a level more similar to that of
typically developing children. However, performance of
children with ADHD remained inferior to that of the
healthy group. This suggests that distinct neurocognitive
pathways are involved in the development of ADHD,
among which an aberrant reinforcement sensitivity.
