> The reward system is functioning in ADHD subjects in some circumstances, just not in others. It's functioning differently, regardless of circumstances. It's not "In some circumstances." > If that were not the case, ADHD subjects could never learn anything, and that clearly isn't the case. Your reasoning is bad here. > I'm just wondering what the limits are to learning You keep using phrases like "limits to learning" that are question-begging and wrong. > might there be processes they could learn which could alter the application of their disregulated reward system so as to facilitate self-drive in more circumstances? I don't know what you're talking about. What you suggested earlier is that ordinary people "learn" to have the emotional reactions to task accomplishments while ADD people do not "learn" to have these same emotional reactions. That is incorrect: you did not learn to have any such emotional reactions. You are falsely attributing agency to yourself. This is something called Fundamental Attribution Error.
