Difficulty in Attention might be concerned with one or multiple mulfunction of perception, cognition, memory, learning and motor action. Therefore, not only in ADHD, but also in intellectual difficulties, autism and learning disabilities (writing disorder and dyslexia), their symptoms might more or less rooted in functional states of attention. Aiming to design an educational support for them, we executed neuropsychological evaluation and cognitive neuroscientific measurement. This study is made from six subtopics, and outline of those subtopics are as follows.(1)Evaluation of visual attention (intellectual difficulties)Behavioral and neurophysiological (ERP) data of visual attention were examined and educational supports for them were mentioned.(2)Evaluation of auditory attention (intellectual difficulties, Down's syndrome, dyslexia)Behavioral and neurophysiologic (ERP) data of auditory attention were examined and educational supports for them were mentioned.(3)Conscious state and information processing in the brain (ADHD, Visual difficulties)Behavioral and neurophysiological(ERP, NIRS) data of attentional difficulties were examined and educational supports for them were mentioned.(4)Motor functionBehavioral and neurophysiological (EMG, MRCP) data were examined.(5)Education and learning support (intellectual difficulties, Down's syndrome, mild developmental difficulties)Evidence based support for children with various difficulties were proposed.(6)Cognitive neuroscience and special educational supportEvidence based support in special education were proposed.
