Inhibitory function and sustained attention following galvanic vestibular stimulation in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

Vestibular Stimulation and Auditory Perception in Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Objectives: Rehabilitation strategies play a pivotal role in reliving the inappropriate behaviors and improving children's performance during school. Concentration and visual and auditory comprehension in children are crucial to effective learning and have drawn interest from researchers and clinicians. Vestibular function deficits usually cause high level of alertness and vigilance, and proble...

Motor Performance in Relation with Sustained Attention in Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Objective: Present study compares relationship between motor performance, sustained attention and impulse control in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and normal children. Materials & Methods: In this descriptive-analytic study, 21 boys with ADHD and 21 normal boys in the age range of 7- 10 years old were participated. Motor performance by using Bruininks Oseretsky Test ...

Effectiveness of Music Therapy on Sustained Attention and Selective Attention in Children with Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of music therapy on sustained attention and selective attention in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population included all children with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder who referred to psycholog...

Comparing auditory sustained attention in children with auditory processing disorder and normal children

Introduction: Auditory processing disorder (APD) is a type of abnormal perceptual processing of auditory information within the central auditory nervous system that could be influenced by cognitive factors, such as attention. Attention is one of most important cognitive functions in the development of learning in children, so it is important to recognize and evaluate a variety of attention defi...
