Temperature profiles of hyperactive children.
An examination of temperament characteristics of hyperactive and control subjects indicates that, early in their lives, hyperactive children were viewed as having extreme temperament patterns characteristic of children difficult to rear. Primary hyperactive children were characterized by low threshold level, difficulties in staying on schedule, adjusting slowly to changes and being very active, and not being persistent. Implications of the findings for child-rearing practices are discussed.
