Behavioral and Emotional Responding to Punishment in ADHD: Is Increased Emotionality Related to Altered Behavioral Responding?

This dataset contains the raw and transformed data of an experimental study investigating the behavioral and emotional responding to punishment and reward in children with and without ADHD. In this study, children completed a behavioral allocation task in which they chose between playing two simultaneously available games. Reward was arranged symmetrically across the games, responses on one game were punished four times as often as responses on the other game. Children's behavioral allocation to both games, their median response times after the different outcomes (reward, punishment or non-consequential) and positive and negative emotional responses during task completion were assessed. The dataset contains demographic information of the participants, as well as behavioral and emotional outcome measures.
