关于多动症情绪理解的研究显示出不一致的结果。本研究使用控制方法来调查 36 名患有多动症的 5 至 11 岁男孩对情绪表达的识别和理解的两个问题：[1] 他们是否发现这项任务比判断面部的非情绪信息更困难，从而表明存在特定的社会认知障碍？ [2] 他们对面孔的判断是否受到任务表现的一般限制（例如冲动反应）的影响？在第 1 部分中，19 名患有 ADHD 的男孩和 19 名年龄匹配的正常发育男孩将情绪的面部表情与情境相匹配，并完成了一项控制性非情绪面部处理任务。患有多动症的男孩在这两项任务上的表现都比同龄人差，但发现情感任务比非情感任务更难。在第二部分中，17 名患有 ADHD 的男孩和 13 名 5 至 6 岁发育正常的男孩执行了相同的任务，但采用了“抑制性脚手架”程序来防止冲动反应。患有多动症的男孩在非情绪任务上的表现与年轻对照者一样，但在情绪任务上仍然表现出障碍。由于一般认知因素，患有多动症的男孩可能表现出较差的任务表现，但在将面部情绪与情况相匹配时也表现出选择性问题。
Research on emotion understanding in ADHD shows inconsistent results. This study uses control methods to investigate two questions about recognition and understanding of emotional expressions in 36 five- to eleven-year-old boys with ADHD: [1] Do they find this task more difficult than judging non-emotional information from faces, thus suggesting a specific social-cognitive impairment? [2] Are their judgements about faces impaired by general limitations on task performance, such as impulsive responding? In Part 1, 19 boys with ADHD and 19 age-matched typically developing boys matched facial expressions of emotion to situations, and did a control non-emotional face-processing task. Boys with ADHD performed more poorly than age-matches on both tasks, but found the emotion task harder than the non-emotion task. In Part 2, 17 boys with ADHD and 13 five-to six-year-old typically developing boys performed the same tasks, but with an ‘inhibitory scaffolding’ procedure to prevent impulsive responding. Boys with ADHD performed as well as the younger controls on the non-emotional task, but still showed impairments in the emotion task. Boys with ADHD may show poorer task performance because of general cognitive factors, but also showed selective problems in matching facial emotions to situations.
