Abstract

The main purpose of this study mainly for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to attention test, combined the development of the Visual and Audio Attention Test System (VAAT). We use Conners Kiddie Continuous Performance Test Second Edition (K-CPT 2) and VAAT testing 16 children with ADHD between 4 to 7 years old and compare the results to observe the K-CPT 2 and VAAT assessment at the same time. We observe the differences in visual and audio of VAAT when they do wrong or do right response via the brain wave variability. The experimental results show that most of the children have inattention in K-CPT 2. The K-CPT 2 and VAAT raw scores at the same time efficient of the response time, standard deviation and change rates are significant. It appears positive correlation. Our system provides good assessment for children with ADHD.
