Abstract :
To compare the difference of auditory and visual sustained attention between children with ADHD and normal children over time, the study establishes time series dynamic model of the auditory-visual sustained attention of children with ADHD and the relationship between children´s attention and time. The goal of the study is to predict the behavior of ADHD children. In this study, auditory-visual continuous performance test and multiple time series sampling are used to compare the difference of performance between 20 children with ADHD and 20 normal children. The results show that there´s significant difference in attention deficit between them, and auditory-visual sustained attention of ADHD children show a significant downward trend over time.
