Maladaptive Adaptation

A Maladaptive adaptation is a physiological, emotional, or behavioural adaptation that is functional in one environment, but dysfunctional in another. For example, Attention Deficit Adaptation is functional in chaotic and violent environments (Sharp & Ratkovic, draft), but dysfunctional in structured environments like the classroom, or the workplace.[1]
