Tempo Scale (Graham et al., 2011). In the second study, the combination of attention skills and a measure of cognitive effort was used to accurately distinguish alcohol-exposed subjects from controls and from subjects with ADHD with 77% and 73% classification accuracy, respectively (Dudley et al., 2012). While these findings are limited by the measures chosen for analysis, it is not surprising that clinically relevant deficits do not occur in all alcohol-exposed children. Any number of factors such as demographics, physiology, nutrition, or genetics, may result in a neuroprotective effect and warrant further investigation.
