In his work supported by the Institute for New Economic Thinking and elsewhere, he has challenged deficit hawks and emphasized the need for strong government investment in things like jobs, education, healthcare, and infrastructure if economies are to prosper.
The present study compared the performance of adults with and without ADHD in a driving simulator on two different routes: an urban route which we hypothesised would exacerbate weak impulse control in ADHD and a motorway route, to challenge deficits in sustained attention.
In this study, we challenge the deficit perspective on mathematical knowing and learning for children labeled as LD, focusing on their struggles not as a within student attribute, but rather as within teacher-learner interactions.
And Mr. Conrad believes that once politicians look at the challenge — deficits as far as the eye can see, insufficient savings, overreliance on regressive payroll taxes — "a value-added tax in combination with a high-end income tax" will seem more acceptable than directly hitting middle- and upper- income taxpayers.

Monitor has written to the 46 foundation trusts with the biggest deficits "challenging" their plans.
All these factors make assessment and interpretation of deficits challenging.
Tackling the knowledge-to-practice deficit is challenging and entails an investigation of the numerous obstacles to knowledge uptake. 2 The transfer of important clinical knowledge is impeded by the amount and also the ongoing growth of the biomedical literature.
Thus, TMS EEG offers a direct means to detect underlying deficits by challenging the relevant brain circuits with phasic (single TMS pulses) stimuli that engage the gamma oscillations, even when the deficits are not detectable under tonic conditions (Ferrarelli et al. 2008).
Encouraging patients with a bipolar diagnosis to engage with the programme may be challenging given the cognitive deficits and emotional difficulties associated with the condition.
