Comparison between two continuous performance tests for identifying ADHD: Traditional vs. virtual reality

Abstract: Background/Objective: Continuous Performance Tests (CPTs) have demonstrated validity when differentiating children with ADHD from healthy controls. However, these CPTs have limitations such as low ecological validity. New CPTs based on the use of Virtual Reality (VR) have appeared as supposedly improved methods for assessing ADHD. This study aims to compare the discriminant value of attentional variables produced by a VR CPT (Aula Nesplora) with that of variables from a traditional CPT (Test of Variables of At… Show more

“…One implication of these results is that the intervention must be adapted to the specific profile of the students [40,41]. It is necessary to analyze the improvements of ADHD in different points or cortical areas in the future to determine the most effective intervention protocol for each diagnosis.…”

“…Firstly, a member of the research group contacted with local hospitals and clinical services serving children and adolescents diagnosed with ADHD (more particularly, the combined presentation of ADHD). Contact with these services was initially made by phone, and, later, a face-to-face meeting was held with those professionals who agreed to participate in the project [26].…”

“…This benefit supposes an important innovation in the evaluation of ADHD symptoms because it allows getting a diagnosis with more ecological validity. Moreover, the increase of ecological validity has been shown to be more effective in the diagnosis of ADHD in comparison to other Traditional CPTs, which offer similar variables but without considering the presence of the distractor and with less levels of ecological validity [26].The completion of the test takes approximately 20 min.…”

“…These parameters have been shown to be useful in the detection of ADHD [23]. An important limitation of traditional CPTs is low ecological validity [24]. Ecological validity means the degree to which a performance test produces results similar to those produced in real life [20].…”
