The goal of the study was to look at the characteristics and clinical applications of processing-speed tests in the treatment of people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. No gender bias, excellent test-retest reliability, and appropriate levels of concurrent validity are required for neuropsychological testing, according to normative and clinical evidence. People with ADHD have different recurring patterns in color-form naming and overhead values than healthy individuals, people with depression without ADHD, and adults with dementia. The processing-speed profiles show that single-dimension colors and forms have average-normal response times, color-form combos have longer-than-average response times, and overhead values are higher than typical. Independent studies of methylphenidate dose effects in medication-naive and previouslymedicated adults with ADHD and ADHD substance use disorder found statistical differences in color-form naming times and overhead measures at baseline without medication and at endpoint with stimulant medication in medication-naive and previouslymedicated adults with ADHD and ADHD substance use disorder. The findings imply that the measures could be used in conjunction with observational judgments of ADHD symptomatology to screen for and monitor stimulant-medication effects.
