Insights into the control of attentional set in ADHD using the attentional blink paradigm

Article Abstract:

Study is carried out to assess whether Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) children show a deeper blink than control children and also whether the blink takes longer to recover in ADHD children. It is found that the basic mechanisms of selective attention are not impaired in children with ADHD, as these children appeared to require more resources to execute the task and are more vulnerable to distraction by irrelevant singletons, indicating deficit in the maintenance of attentional control.

Examining the relationship between rightward visuo-spatial bias and poor attention within the normal child population using a brief screening task

Article Abstract:

Study is conducted to examine whether children from the normal population who show a relative inattention to the left are more likely to exhibit behavioral difficulties of a type associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or poor performance on tests of sustained attention. It is concluded that there is an association between poor attention and a relative rightward bias in visual awareness that may stem from right hemisphere inefficiency.
