ADD Knowing and Doing

Another insight from the Learning and the Brain conference at Towson on Nov 1, 2008.

One of the speakers, Dr. Baumgardner, made a point the ADD was a problem of DOING not KNOWING.  

Often the student does know the information or process, but at a given time cannot perform, or get that information into the world. He describes the dilemma as being "at the interface between what information we have acquired and the demands of the outside world. "

Something to ponder:

Stress certainly impedes answering the needs of the outside world. But so does difficulties in organization, prioritizing and making the connections.
