研究了两种基于临床的测试，匹配熟悉图形测试（MFFT; Kagan，1966）和一种版本的持续表现测试（CPT; Gordon，1983）在评估注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）儿童中的效用。在一组水平的分析中，CPT和MFFT的分数被发现与父母和老师在用于评估ADHD的几个行为评定量表上的报告几乎没有差异。此外，临床测试分数，单独或组合，导致分类的决定，往往不同意诊断为ADHD的基础上，家长访谈和行为评级量表的数据。有限的效用，目前可用的测试在ADHD的评估表明，需要开发足够的生态有效性，这可以与家长和教师的报告结合使用的临床为基础的措施。
Investigated the utility of two clinic-based tests, the Matching Familiar Figures Test (MFFT; Kagan, 1966) and a version of the Continuous Performance Test (CPT; Gordon, 1983), in the assessment of children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). At a group level of analysis, scores on the CPT and MFFT were found to share little variance with parent and teacher report on several behavior rating scales used to evaluate ADHD. Further, clinic test scores, either alone or in combination, resulted in classification decisions that frequently disagreed with a diagnosis of ADHD based on parent interview and behavior-rating-scale data. The limited utility of currently available tests in the evaluation of ADHD suggests the need to develop clinic-based measures of sufficient ecological validity, which can be used in conjunction with parent and teacher report.
