The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that up to 4.1 percent of American adults are affected by attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Guessing is the problem solving method of choice for the adults suffering from ADHD Cognitive impulsivity means "a lot of guessing". Now let's take cognitive impulsivity. Most adults suffering from behavioral impulsivity do not learn the social cues and thus act awkward in social gatherings. They often have poor social skills; they say things they are not supposed to, and end up offending people around them.
During conversations they have hysterical episodes; varying degrees of emotional outbursts. They speak louder and in excitable tones than usual. At times they exhibit aggressive behaviors; often get in to fights. At times they start talking when they are supposed to be quiet no matter how many times it is being told to them. They Say whatever that is on their mind.
They cannot wait their turn in a queue. Act without thinking first. Adults suffering from behavioral impulsivity show the following symptoms. They need excitation and more motivation to learn than normal.
The problem here is that the learning threshold for people with ADHD behavioral impulsivity is very high. In this type no matter how many times it instructed to think before acting the person on the verge of the incident will act impulsively. Let's take behavioral impulsivity first. ADHD impulsivity has two sub-divisions; behavioral impulsivity, and cognitive impulsivity.
