Summary

Computerized continuous performance tests (CPT) considered the "gold standard" for diagnosis of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD.

This type of tests are based mainly on visual performance. The available tests suffer from high false negative errors. This raises questions regarding their ability to correctly diagnose ADHD.

With the expanding knowledge regarding the neurobiological basis in ADHD we have learned that attention is not a general property of the whole brain, but involves several coordinated networks. This knowledge promoted us to the stage in which we can recognize different types of attention domains.

Our diagnosis test can separate between the different attention abilities and provide specific diagnosis. Our program is individually fits for the specific child difficulties and covers a wider range of needs. So, it can be helpful to a larger variety of children with different needs.
