Summary

The goal of this study is to compare the influence of visual and auditory white noise on performance in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Can auditory white noise stimulation affect cognitive performance?
* Can visual white pixel noise affect cognitive performance? Participants will complete two eye tracking tasks under different sensory noise stimulation.

Researchers will compare the ADHD group with a group of typically developing children to see if the noise influences the groups differently and if it has the potential to affect the performance of the ADHD group, to reach the level of the control group.
