Project Summary Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a highly prevalent (5-11% of children 4-17 years in 2011) and persistent disorder, is associated with cognitive deficits that contribute to poor educational outcomes in ADHD. Critically, leading treatment strategies in ADHD are ineffective at improving educational outcomes. Lacking, however, is the assessment of attention deficits in real-life contexts, a key piece to understanding how these deficits impede learning opportunities in the moment (such as in the classroom) and, conversely, how they can be supported by making changes within the child’s environment. In this project, we will develop an attention assessment tool using portable electroencephalography (EEG) recordings, performed in real-time in the classroom. As part of Aim 1 we will validate the technique against (a) visual coding of on-task performance (the current standard in the field), (b) simulated classroom recordings, (c) laboratory based metrics of attention, and, (d) scores of academic achievement. In Aim 2, we collect EEG attention metrics across different types of typical classroom activities – to test if particular context (whole class, small group, individual) and instructional attention management (teacher-managed vs child-managed) preferentially facilitate attention in the classroom in children with attention deficits. The project emphasizes a theoretical shift from laboratory-based to in-classroom evaluation of attention, and underscores the importance of contextual factors that affect real-life outcomes like learning in school. In future studies, we will use the developed tools to, (i) test the efficacy of proposed classroom accommodations for ADHD (e.g., high stimulation, structure, minimal delay/idle time, reward), and (ii) test the feasibility of this tool to improve treatment monitoring by providing more accurate feedback and treatment adherence when adapted for at-home use.

项目摘要 注意力缺陷/多动障碍（ADHD），一种高度流行的疾病（2011年占4-17岁儿童的5-11%）， 持续性障碍，与认知缺陷有关，导致ADHD的不良教育结果。 重要的是，ADHD的主要治疗策略在改善教育成果方面是无效的。缺少， 然而，在现实生活中对注意力缺陷的评估，是理解这些问题的关键， 赤字阻碍了学习机会的时刻（如在课堂上），相反，他们如何能够 通过在孩子的环境中做出改变来支持。在这个项目中，我们将开发一种关注 使用便携式脑电图（EEG）记录的评估工具，在 教室作为目标1的一部分，我们将验证该技术对（a）视觉编码的任务表现（ 本领域的当前标准），（B）模拟教室记录，（c）基于实验室的注意力度量，以及， (d)学习成绩的分数。在目标2中，我们收集不同类型的典型脑电波注意力指标 课堂活动-测试特定环境（全班，小组，个人）和教学注意力 管理（教师管理与儿童管理）优先促进儿童在课堂上的注意力 注意力缺陷。该项目强调从实验室为基础的理论转移到课堂上 注意力的评估，并强调了影响现实生活中的结果，如 在学校学习。在未来的研究中，我们将使用开发的工具，（i）测试建议的课堂效果 ADHD的适应（例如，高刺激，结构，最小延迟/空闲时间，奖励），和（ii）测试 该工具通过提供更准确的反馈和治疗来改善治疗监测的可行性 适应家庭使用时的粘附性。
