[The Attention Network Test in the study of cognitive impairment of ADHD patients].

CONCLUSIONS: Despite the lack of conclusive results, this test shows multiple applications that would allow disentangling diverse cognitive impairments in ADHD patients. ANT could analyze diverse cognitive mechanisms that could be compromised in these patients (tonic and phasic alerting, temporal and spatial expectancy, degree of interference of the distractor stimuli, attentional blinking o inhibition of return). This test could help to perform a better characterization of ADHD patients further than the classical forms considered nowadays (unattended and combined).
