This study examined the characteristics of inhibitory attention to emotional stimulation using inhibition of return tasks based on studies in which adult ADHD is deficient in recognizing emotional faces. In Experiment 1, the cue–target of inhibition of return task was performed to identify the inhibitory ability of the ADHD tendency group to emotional stimulation. As a result of experiment 1, inhibition of return, which is the difference in response time between the same and different position, was significantly higher in the sad condition than in the ADHD tendency group. This suggests that the behavioral patterns of the control group and the ADHD tendency group may differ depending on the emotional sensitivity of the control group. In Experiment 2, a continuous response of inhibition of return task was performed to identify the characteristics of inhibitory ability to continuous emotional stimulation. As a result of Experiment 2, the ADHD tendency group showed lower inhibition of return than the control group only under the condition that the pleasure emotion was continuously the same. This study confirmed the differences in the characteristics of inhibitory attention to one emotional stimulus and continuous emotional stimulation among the groups. Based on this experiments, the implications and limitations of this paper are have been discussed.
