摘要：This article investigates the attentional functions in alcoholics in relation to the variables presence of ADHD and time of abstinence. The sample was composed of 38 alcohol-dependent subjects. The instruments used were the Behavioral Questionnaire; Interview for ADHD according to the DSM-IV-TR; Trail-Making Test (parts A and B); Digit Span (forward and backward); d2 Test of Attention; and the Stroop Test. The test performance related to inhibitory behavior of the alcoholics with ADHD was significantly inferior to the performance of the non-ADHD group. It was also found that alcoholics with longer period of abstinence had better performance in the majority of the tests, indicating an improvement on the attentional functions associated with abstinence.
