Abstract

The article describes and analyzes the behavioral and neurological aspects that bring together discussions on attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity and outlines some historical conceptual antecedents. Descriptive statements focusing on the behavior of those diagnosed predominate in the behavioral dimension. Etiological explanations, principally on brain function in the neurological dimension are included. The analysis was based on documentary materials such as historical studies, interviews with health professionals in Buenos Aires between 2008 and 2011, specialized publications, psychometric instruments and psychiatric manuals.
