一些研究表明，患有ADHD的儿童在情绪识别任务上的表现往往比正常发育的儿童差。然而，大多数这些研究都集中在面部表情的识别，而有证据表明，上下文起着重要作用的情绪感知。本研究旨在进一步探讨ADHD儿童的情绪加工，不仅评估面部情绪识别（实验1），但情绪识别的基础上的上下文线索（实验2）。将27名患有ADHD的儿童和青少年与年龄匹配的典型发育对照组进行比较。重要的是，这项研究的结果表明，ADHD儿童的情绪处理困难超出了面部情绪，也影响了基于上下文信息的情绪识别。因此，我们的数据表明，ADHD儿童具有整体情绪处理缺陷。
Several studies suggest that children with ADHD tend to perform worse than typically developing children on emotion recognition tasks. However, most of these studies have focused on the recognition of facial expression, while there is evidence that context plays a major role on emotion perception. This study aims at further investigating emotion processing in children with ADHD, by assessing not only facial emotion recognition (Experiment 1) but also emotion recognition on the basis of contextual cues (Experiment 2). Twenty-seven children and adolescents with ADHD were compared to age-matched typically developing controls. Importantly, findings of this study show that emotion-processing difficulties in children with ADHD extend beyond facial emotion and also affect the recognition of emotions on the basis of contextual information. Our data thus indicate that children with ADHD have an overall emotion-processing deficit.
