In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Subjects with ADHD may exhibit deficits in sustained internal attention. The "Sustained-Paced Finger Tapping" test was recently developed and experimentally used in international literature to assess sustained internal attention in typically developing children. This clinical study has several objectives: 1) to assess the presence of "internal" sustained attention deficits in children with ADHD through the "Sustained-Paced Finger Tapping"; 2) to evaluate the discriminant and ecological validity of the "Sustained-Paced Finger Tapping."
