(IF 2.2) Pub Date : 2023-06-22 Esther H. H. Keulers, Christine Resch, Lisa. M. Jonkman, Petra P. M. Hurks
ABSTRACT The triple pathway model suggests that different neuropsychological factors underlie symptoms of inattention (i.e., time, cognition and/or motivation problems). However, screening instruments asking individuals to judge the link between these neuropsychological factors and inattention are lacking. The recently developed screening questionnaire, PASSC, aims to examine these factors possibly
