title: [Experimental principles of hyperactive behavior in children].
abstract: Neurophysiological studies have demonstrated that processing of information is defective in hyperactive children. Converging lines of evidence suggest that both perception and attention are normal in these patients. In contrast, there are alterations in motor processes and in the regulation of energy resources used for motor output. The clinical and therapeutic implications of clinical research data are discussed.
