Visual attention in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder before and after stimulant treatment.

CONCLUSIONS: ADHD in adults may be associated with deficits in three distinct aspects of visual attention. Improvements after 6 weeks of medication are seen specifically in visual processing speed, which could represent an improvement in alertness. Clinical symptoms and visual attentional deficits may represent separate aspects of ADHD in adults. PMID: 30560740 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
