Quiet eye training –based intervention can ameliorate inhibitory control but not visuospatial working memory in children with ADHD

ConclusionThe study demonstrated that the QET protocol, which includes instructions and a video demonstration to optimize eye fixation on a target during aiming tasks, is acceptable and usable for children with ADHD. Overall, a short-term, 5-week visuomotor training intervention based on the quiet eye paradigm was shown to be effective in improving inhibitory control and focused visual attention, but not visuospatial WM and intrinsic attention in 9 –12-year-old children with inattentive or combined ADHD.
