Abstract

【Objective】 To determine the characteristics in cognitive domain of sustained attention and response inhibitionl domain children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD). 【Methods】 One hundred children with ADHD and 100 healthy controls matched in age, gender, grade, handedness were measured with sustained attention response to task(SART) involing ability of suatained attention and response inhition. The performance was compared using multivariate analysis of variance(MANOVA) and MACOVA with FIQ controlled for between two groups. 【Results】 The omnibus MANOVA of the primary neuropsychological variables revealed a large group effect with P<0.001. The ANOVAs of each index showed that children with ADHD made more omission errors(P=0.004) and commission errors(P<0.001) than did healthy controls. Furthermore, the reaction times(RT) of correct response(P<0.001) in children with ADHD were much longer than that in healthy controls, and the variability of RT much more than the latter(P=0.001). The results remainded unchanged arter controlling for FIQ. 【Conclusion】 There are significant deficits of sustained attention and response inhibition in children with ADHD.
