Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is associated with action control problems such as failure to inhibit inappropriate responses. Two studies investigated whether self-regulation by implementation intentions (if-then plans; Gollwitzer, P. M. (1999). Implementation intentions: Strong effects of simple plans. American Psychologist, 54, 493–503) facilitates response inhibition in children with ADHD. In Study 1, children with ADHD who furnished a suppression goal with implementation intentions improved inhibition of an unwanted response on a Go/No-Go task to the same level observed in children without ADHD. Study 2 showed that a combination of implementation intentions and psychostimulant medication resulted in the highest level of suppression performance in children with ADHD. Theoretical and applied implications of these results are discussed.

- Self-efficacy Feelings Moderate Implementation Intention Effects (2010, background): “Further supporting the hypothesis that implementation intentions automate the control of goal-directed actions, it was observed that people who have chronic action-control problems particularly benefit from making if–then plans (e.g., opiate addicts in withdrawal; Brandstätter et al., 2001, Study 2”
- Responding to subliminal cues: Do if-then plans facilitate action preparation and initiation without conscious intent? (2009, background): “…was observed in research with samples characterized by action control problems (Brandstätter, Lengfelder, & Gollwitzer, 2001, Studies 1 and 2; Gawrilow & Gollwitzer, 2008), dual task paradigms (Brandstätter et al., 2001, Studies 3 and 4), and tasks that burden a person's cognitive capacity…”
- Bridging the intention-behavior gap : Inducing implementation intentions through persuasive appeals (2011, unknown): “…the goal-directed behavior is initiated immediately (Cohen, Bayer, Jaudas, & Gollwitzer, 2008; Gollwitzer & Brandstätter, 1997), efficiently (Brandstätter, Lengfelder, & Gollwitzer, 2001; Gawrilow & Gollwitzer, 2008), and without conscious intent (Bayer, Achtziger, Gollwitzer, & Moskowitz, 2009).”
- Weakness of the will: Is a quick fix possible? (2014, background): “For instance, it was demonstrated (Gawrilow and Gollwitzer 2008) that children with ADHD who furnished a suppression goal with implementation intentions improved inhibition of an unwanted response on a Go/Notask to the same level observed in children without ADHD, and the combination of…”
- Self-regulation of consumer decision making and behavior: The role of implementation intentions (2009, unknown): “…been supported by studies using critical sampies, that is, individuals with poor selfregulatory abilities such as people with schizophrenia, people with substance abuse disorders, and children with ADHD (Brandstätter et al., 200 I, Studies I & 2; Gawrilow & Gollwitzer, 2008; Paul et al., 2007).”
