Whatever measurement they made that they're calling "hyperactivity," it seems to have a strong inverse association with academic achievement, so perhaps it warrants concern regardless of how well it relates to our concept of "self-regulation."
- ThomPete 11y agoYeah academic achievement is not really a gold standard either for so many reasons too. I smell some political/ideological bias, but yes thats completely undocumented.
- rtl49 11y agoI don't recall anyone claiming academic achievement is the ultimate evaluation of a person. However it tends to coincide with qualities that societies try to encourage in youth. Hence the interest in improving it.
- ThomPete 11y agoI didn't say anyone was claiming that. I simply reacted to what you wrote. "..it seems to have a strong inverse association with academic achievement.."
