Compare the ability of visual-motor perception and working memory in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and healthy children

Disturbance in the visual motion perception is the subject that is proposed in related to malfunctions such as attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of children with attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder and healthy children in visual motion perception tasks. This was a description of the causal-comparative study. The sample consists of 25 children with attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder and 25 healthy children were selected with accessible method. The main tests used include of biological motion perception and point light tests of the visual perception tests and s digits spam test of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale to identify the working memory. The way multivariate analysis of variance and independent t-test was used to examine the differences between the two groups and correlated variables was measured. There is the different performance in two groups of children with and without attention deficit in the biological motion perception and point light tests only in noisy conditions with consistency of 50%. Results of the different performances in noisy conditions in both groups showed that is not seen the significant differences in point light and biological motion perception tests in noisy conditions in children group with hyperactivity disorder / attention (p Keys:
