WHAT IS ATTENTION?WHAT IS ATTENTION?A special [mental] function was instituted which had periodically to search the outer world in order that its data might be already familiar if an urgent inner need should arise: This function was attention. Its activity meets the sense impressions half way, instead of awaiting their appearance. At the same time, there was probably introduced a system of notation, whose task was to deposit the result of this periodic activity of consciousness—a part of which we call memory.
Sigmund Freud [Formulations regarding the two principles of mental functioning, 1911]

WHAT IS ATTENTION?WHAT IS ATTENTION?
Everyone knows what attention is. It is the taking possession in the mind, in clear and vivid form, of one out of what seem several simultaneous object or trains of thought.
William James [The Principles of Psychology, 1890]

CONCLUSIONSCONCLUSIONSMany individuals thought to have ADHD may Many individuals thought to have ADHD may
have behavioral deficits that are commonly have behavioral deficits that are commonly found among individuals with ADHD, but found among individuals with ADHD, but these deficits are also found in individuals these deficits are also found in individuals with a host of other psychiatric disorderswith a host of other psychiatric disorders
The incidence and prevalence of persons who The incidence and prevalence of persons who have true ADHD, a hereditarily-transmitted have true ADHD, a hereditarily-transmitted disorder of the brain’s dopaminergic disorder of the brain’s dopaminergic networks is probably much less than claimed networks is probably much less than claimed by ADHD professionals and advocatesby ADHD professionals and advocates
Nevertheless: Those whose attentional Nevertheless: Those whose attentional processes are affected by neuropsychiatric processes are affected by neuropsychiatric conditions other than ADHD are as deserving conditions other than ADHD are as deserving of treatment and accommodations for their of treatment and accommodations for their attentional deficits as are those with “true” attentional deficits as are those with “true” ADHDADHD
