Effect of intelligence quotient discrepancy on attention and executive function in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: an fNIRS study

Intelligence quotient discrepancy (IQD) is associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, but its impact on attention and executive function (EF) deficits in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is unknown.This study aimed to examine the effect of IQD by functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS).
