Explanation
Children with ADHD cannot be cured because ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects the brain's functioning.

C. Seven

Explanation
Most children affected will receive an official medical diagnosis before the age of seven years. This implies that the majority of children who are impacted by a medical condition or disorder will have their condition identified and diagnosed by medical professionals before they reach the age of seven. This early diagnosis allows for early intervention and treatment, which can greatly improve the outcomes and quality of life for these children.

The areas of the brain responsible for inhibition and self-control are the – (Select four)
- A.
  
  Caudate nucleus
- B.
  
  Globus pallidus
- C.
  
  Cerebrum
- D.
  
  Cerebral cortex
- E.
  
  Prefrontal cortex
- F.
  
  Vermis of the cerebellum
Correct Answer(s)
A. Caudate nucleus
B. Globus pallidus
E. Prefrontal cortex
F. Vermis of the cerebellum

Explanation
The areas of the brain responsible for inhibition and self-control are the caudate nucleus, globus pallidus, prefrontal cortex, and vermis of the cerebellum. These areas play a crucial role in regulating impulsive behaviors, decision-making, and executive functions. The caudate nucleus and globus pallidus are part of the basal ganglia, which is involved in motor control and cognitive functions. The prefrontal cortex is responsible for higher-order cognitive processes, including self-control and decision-making. The vermis of the cerebellum is involved in coordinating movement and cognitive functions, including attention and inhibition.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False

Explanation
Dopamine is indeed a hormone and a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in the normal functioning of the central nervous system. It is involved in various important functions such as regulating movement, emotions, and the brain's reward and pleasure centers. Dopamine also helps in controlling the release of other hormones and is essential for maintaining overall brain health. Therefore, the statement "Dopamine is a hormone and one of the neurotransmitter substances used in the normal functioning of the central nervous system" is true.

Behaviour modification aims to teach parents how to give their child attention for positive rather than negative reasons.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Behaviour modification is a technique that focuses on changing an individual's behavior by reinforcing positive actions and ignoring or discouraging negative behaviors. In the context of parenting, it aims to teach parents how to provide attention and reinforcement to their child when they exhibit positive behaviors, rather than giving attention only when the child misbehaves. This approach helps to encourage and reinforce positive behavior, ultimately shaping the child's behavior in a more positive direction. Therefore, the given statement is true.

Beliefs about parenting as either the cause or a contributory factor in exacerbating the symptoms of ADHD reflect the cognitive perspective in psychology, suggesting that behaviour is largely acquired and so is totally opposite to the physiological approach.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The explanation for the given correct answer (False) is that beliefs about parenting as the cause or a contributory factor in exacerbating the symptoms of ADHD do not reflect the cognitive perspective in psychology. The cognitive perspective suggests that behavior is largely acquired, while the belief about parenting as a cause of ADHD symptoms is more aligned with the physiological approach.
