A Web-based Study to Discriminate Attention Deficits in Children with ADHD

Abstract

Based on three web-based neuropsychological tasks, this study examined the characteristics of attention deficits in children with ADHD. Specifically, we examined whether or not the experimental indices from a continuous performance task, a change-blindness task, and an inhibition-of-return task would successfully discriminate ADHD children from normal ones. According to the results, 1) significant differences were obtained among normal and ADHD sub-groups, 2) 71.2% of the cases were correctly classified as predicted using the indices of the three tasks, and 3) standard deviations of response time from the change-blindness task were among the most useful indices for classification. Further research would be needed to generalize our results to other clinical cases, especially with comorbid symptoms.
