Relationships between experimental task and questionnaire measures of reward/punishment sensitivity in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): protocol for a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Questionnaires have been used to identify the characteristics of reward and punishment sensitivity in individuals with ADHD.
