Description
• Typical evaluations of ADHD consist of behavior self-report rating scales, a measure of cognitive or intellectual functioning, and specific performance measures designed to measure attention.
• However, some research shows that current performance measures of ADHD have low specificity and sensitivity and are generally not helpful in diagnosing ADHD in adults (Lipszyc & Schachar, 2010).
• This project is designed to determine if a non-verbal, user-friendly visual search task, combined with eye-tracking technology, can help increase the diagnostic utility of performance-based measures.
• The study evaluated the effectiveness of Eye-Tracking Technology as a reliable technique to discriminate ADHD in young adults. In specific, we determined if fixation rate (i.e., number of fixations per second) is different between those that have ADHD (meet criteria on the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale; ASRS) and those with no diagnosis of ADHD while completing a visual search task “Spot the Missing Object.”
• Spot the Missing Object (SMO) is an adaptation of the "Spot the Difference"
