Rationale

Rationale |
| Reliability |
Peer-reviewed, rigorous bifactor methodology, n=172, published in established journal. Effect sizes reported with confidence intervals. |
| Relevance |
Does not address interviews directly, but establishes the cognitive mechanism (executive working memory deficit, d=1.63-2.03) that explains why STAR would be challenging for ADHD. The connection to STAR is an analytical inference. |
| Bias flags |
Study examined children (8-13), not adults in interview settings. Generalization to adult job interviews requires assumption that deficits persist, which is supported by broader literature but not by this study alone. |

Summary |
| SRC05-E01 |
75-81% of ADHD individuals have impaired executive working memory (d=1.63-2.03) affecting narrative reorganization and multistep tasks |
