Abstract

Change blindness is a failure to detect subtle changes in a series of scenes, and the phenomenon has been thought to be based on inattention or attention deficits. This study examined whether a change blindness task could be a useful tools for discriminating adult ADHD from normal adults. Participants performed a flicker-dot task, a simultaneous-dot task, a continuous performance teak, and a CAARS-K ADHD rating scale. In order to examine which task index (i.e., mean response time, standard deviation of response time, and accuracy) may reveal attention deficit, correlation analyses were conducted. As results, in flicker-dot task, there were almost no significant correlations between task indices and ADHD scales. In contrast, in simultaneous-dot task, response time and accuracy were negatively correlated to nearly every ADHD scales. In addition, the result of a discriminant analysis showed that indices from the simultaneous-dot task have more discrimination accuracy than those from the continuous performance task. These results suggest that change blindness task may be useful in revealing attention deficits in adults with ADHD.
