摘要：This article investigates the attentional functions in alcoholics in relation to the variables presence of ADHD and time of abstinence. The sample was composed of 38 alcohol-dependent subjects. The instruments used were the Behavioral Questionnaire; Interview for ADHD according to the DSM-IV-TR; Trail-Making Test (parts A and B); Digit Span (forward and backward); d2 Test of Attention; and the Stroop Test.
