Impulsive and risky decision-making peaks in adolescence, and is consistently associated with the neurodevelopmental disorder Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), regardless of age. In this brief review, we demonstrate the similarity of theoretical models explaining impulsive and risky decision-making that originate in two relatively distinct literatures (i.e., on adolescence and on ADHD). We summarize research thus far and conclude that the presence of ADHD during adolescence further exacerbates the tendency that is already present in adolescents to make impulsive and risky decisions. We also conclude that much is still unknown about the developmental trajectories of individuals with ADHD with regard to impulsive and risky decision making, and we therefore provide several hypotheses that warrant further longitudinal research.

冲动和冒险的决策在青春期达到顶峰，并且始终与神经发育障碍注意力缺陷/多动障碍 (ADHD) 相关，无论年龄大小。在这篇简短的回顾中，我们展示了解释源自两个相对不同的文献（即青春期和多动症）的冲动和风险决策的理论模型的相似性。我们总结了迄今为止的研究并得出结论，青春期多动症的存在进一步加剧了青少年已经存在的做出冲动和冒险决定的倾向。我们还得出结论，关于多动症患者在冲动和风险决策方面的发展轨迹仍有很多未知之处，因此我们提供了一些值得进一步纵向研究的假设。
