This document summarizes a study examining the neural dynamics of working memory compromised by distraction. The study used an adaptation of a visuospatial working memory task with healthy control and ADHD children while recording EEG. Two memory load-dependent neural markers, frontal theta and alpha power increases and posterior beta power decreases, were modulated by distractors associated with impaired performance. The ADHD subjects showed a transient right posterior component triggered by task-related distractors during encoding. This suggests distractors modulate neural markers of memory load and reflects different attentional strategies in ADHD.
