First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether being socially excluded (ostracized) affects the memory of children with ADHD. Twenty-four kids played a computer ball-tossing game where they were eventually left out, and their memory was tested before and after. The goal was to see if emotional dysregulation makes the memory impact worse.
