Visual and Auditory Attention Performance in Hyperactive Children: Competence or Compliance.

Draeger, Sonya; And Others

Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, v14 n3 p411-24 Sep 1986

Experimenter presence (representing external control) or absence during task presentation were the two conditions under which attentional performance of 16 hyperactive and 16 control subjects (ages 7-12) was assessed. Results suggested noncompliance (an application deficit rather than an ability deficit) as a major contributor to poor performance of hyperactive subjects. (Author/JW)
