注意力缺陷過動症之注意力系統初探

Abstract

本研究的目的是同時評量注意力缺陷過動症（簡稱ADHD）的各項注意力表現，所用的評量工具是國人自行編製的「兒童認知功能綜合測驗」中的注意力測驗，其包括偵測測驗、干擾測驗、分心測驗及轉換測驗等4項分測驗。共有15位ADHD兒童與24位一般兒童受測，結果發現ADHD兒童僅在分心測驗上表現較一般兒童差，其它兩項測驗上的表現則與一般兒童沒有顯著差異。因此，ADHD兒童的分配注意力可能受損，然而其持續性注意力及選擇性注意力可能沒有受損。此研究結果的理論意涵將在文中加以討論。

The main goal of this study was to examine the efficiency of attention in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD children were tested on a large number of tests of attentional performance, covering selective attention, divided attention, and sustained attention. A deficit in divided attention was found, but ADHD children showed no significant difference in Detection Task and Interference Task in the present studies. The limitations and implications of the findings were discussed.
