TL;DR: Attention process training is a viable and effective means of improving attention deficits after incident stroke and in improving attention and broader outcomes in stroke survivors 6 months after stroke.
Abstract: Background and Purpose— Impaired attention contributes to poor stroke outcomes. Attention process training (APT) reduces attention deficits after traumatic brain injury. There was no evidence for effectiveness of APT in stroke patients. This trial evaluated effectiveness of APT in improving attention and broader outcomes in stroke survivors 6 months after stroke. Methods— Participants in this prospective, single-blinded, randomized, clinical trial were 78 incident stroke survivors admitted over 18 months and identified via neuropsychological assessment as having attention deficit. Participants were randomly allocated to standard care plus up to 30 hours of APT or standard care alone. Both groups were impaired (z≤−2.0) across measures of attention at baseline, with the exception of Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test, which was below average (z≤−1.0). Outcome assessment occurred at 5 weeks and 6 months after randomization. The primary outcome was Integrated Visual Auditory Continuous Performance Test Full-...
TL;DR: Investigation of attention and response control in children with ASD, ADHD, and typical development using the Integrated Visual and Auditory Continuous Performance Test indicates that many children with autism show significant deficits in visual and auditory attention and greater deficits in impulsivity than children with ADHD or typical development.
Abstract: Symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have been widely reported in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The current study investigated attention and response control in children with ASD, ADHD, and typical development using the Integrated Visual and Auditory Continuous Performance Test. Results indicate that many children with ASD show significant deficits in visual and auditory attention and greater deficits in impulsivity than children with ADHD or typical development. These findings suggest that many of the children with ASD demonstrate significant ADHD-like deficits. These findings are discussed in the context of symptoms, subtypes, and comorbidity.
TL;DR: The Intermediate Visual and Auditory (IVA) Continuous Performance Test (CPT) and Neuropsychological Impairment Scale (NIS) were completed with adults diagnosed with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), adults diagnosed With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and controls and the results are discussed in regard to changes in cognitive processing and sustained attention.
TL;DR: High-IQ adults with ADHD perform less well on tests of executive functioning relative to high-IQ control participants and performance on several tests ofexecutive functioning was a significant predictor of functioning.
Abstract: BackgroundTo examine the association between psychological tests of executive functioning and functional outcomes among high-IQ adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).MethodSubjects were high-IQ adults with (n=64) and without ADHD (n=53). Subjects were administered a battery of neuropsychological tests assessing executive functioning.ResultsHigh-IQ adults with ADHD performed less well than those without ADHD on several psychological tests of executive functioning, including the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), Stroop Color and Word Test, Rey–Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (ROCF), California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT) and an auditory continuous performance test (CPT). Test performance in the high-IQ adult ADHD group, however, was average. In the entire sample, performance on several tests of executive functioning including the ROCF and the CVLT were significant predictors of real-world functioning.ConclusionsHigh-IQ adults with ADHD perform less well on tests of executive functioning relative to high-IQ control participants. Performance on several tests of executive functioning was a significant predictor of functioning.
TL;DR: Results indicated limited potential for the use of the ACPT in the differential diagnosis of ADHD.
Abstract: The use of continuous performance tasks has been examined as a potential measure for clinical/laboratory identification of Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The present study compared the performance of 30 children, 26 boys and 4 girls ranging in age from 9-0 to 12-11, with central auditory processing disorders (CAPD) who did not meet criteria for coexisting ADHD with the performance of children with CAPD coexisting with ADHD (CAPD/ADHD) on the Auditory Continuous Performance Test (ACPT). In interpreting the results, the variability as well as the actual counts for correct responses and total errors were considered. Results indicated limited potential for the use of the ACPT in the differential diagnosis of ADHD. Implications of the results as well as considerations for future research are discussed.
