Continuous Processing Task (CPT) performance in children with attention deficit disorder with and without hyperactivity: effects of rate and control of pacing
This study investigated the effects of task pacing on the cognitive performance of ADD/WO (n=8), ADD/H (n=l0), and normal control (n=l2) children on a continuous processing task (CPT). In the CPT, each child was exposed to fast (500ms), medium (l0O0ms), slow (2000mS), and self-paced conditions. …
