A Study for Diagnostic Discrimination of T.O.V.A. and GDS in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Abstract

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is the childhood disorder characterized by severe inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity, and can lead to the dysfunction of academic, occupational, social performance in adolescent and adulthood. We discussed ADHD by developmental history taking, interview, behavioral rating scale of teacher and parents, and individual psychological assessment. The psychological assessment include intelligence test, neuropsychological test, and continuous performance tests. T.O.V.A. and GDS are a sort of compueterized CPT. The purpose of this study is to find the effectiveness of T.O.V.A. & GDS to assess ADHD group. The Subjects are consisted of 19 ADHD and 21 non-ADHD(40 boys and girls aged range 7 to 14, and above 80 in I.Q.). In ANOVA, half 1, half 2, and total reaction time, half 1 RT variability, and half 1 D Prime show significant difference between ADHD and non-ADHD. In discriminant analysis, hit-ratio is 75% and this discriminant function effectively differentiate two groups. RT variability and anticipatory response is most effective in T.O.V.A. and Vigilance Task is most effective in GDS.
