Despite the prevalence of motor difficulties in individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) throughout development, it is neglected as a factor underlying the etiology or functional impairment. This paper reviews the behavioral and neurological evidence linking motor difficulties to ADHD, arguing that existing theories explaining this relationship are oversimplified. Instead, embodied theories of development offer a more comprehensive evaluation of the mechanistic relationship among the motor system, cognitive development, and subsequent functional impairment in ADHD throughout early development. The integration of these perspectives will ultimately inform our understanding of the etiology of ADHD and inspire novel approaches for identification and intervention.

Keywords: ADHD; embodied cognition; motor development.

尽管注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）患者在整个发育过程中普遍存在运动困难，但这些运动问题作为病因或功能损害因素却被忽视了。本文回顾了将运动困难与ADHD联系起来的行为和神经学证据，并认为现有的解释这种关系的理论过于简单化。相反，嵌身发展的理论提供了一种更为全面的方法来评估运动系统、认知发展以及早期发育过程中ADHD的功能障碍之间的机制性关系。这些视角的整合最终将有助于我们更好地理解ADHD的病因并启发新的识别和干预方法。
