Brief Summary

Lots of studies suggest that children with ADHD have deficits in facial emotion recognition, especially for the negative emotion. But there were arguments for this deficit is a secondary problem due to the general attention impairment in ADHD, or a specific social cognitive processing to ADHD. The objectives of this study are to investigate that association between the deficits in facial emotion recognition and the emotional attention processing in ADHD. In this study, the investigators use the emotion attentional bias and emotional go / no go paradigm to answer this question.

Conditions

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Keywords

ADHD,; emotion recognition; attention

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The error rate in facial emotion judgements on computerized task

  Investigator used the e-prime program to assess the error rate in facial emotion judgements. Participants need to judge the emotion of the face stimuli presented on the laptop.

  up to 2 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• The reaction time of attentional bias for pairs of face stimuli(happy/neutral or angry/neutral faces) on dot-prob task

  up to 2 years

Other Outcomes (1)

• The attentional inhibition control(omission errors and commission errors) in emotional go/no go task

  up to 2 years
