Foco, atenção sustentada e vigilância: dimensões atencionais afetadas em adolescentes com TDAH

O presente estudo realizou uma análise estatística comparativa entre adolescentes com e sem Transtorno deDéficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade (TDAH) no Conners ‘Continuous Performance Test (CCPT). Foi utilizadoo modelo de cinco fatores proposto por Egeland and Kovalick-Gran (2010a). Método: O grupo clínico foicomposto por 28 participantes com TDAH (17 homens), que foram divididos em dois grupos em relação aosubtipo de TDAH (predominantemente desatento ou combinado). Resultados: O grupo TDAH teve escoressignificativamente mais baixos em quase todas as medidas do CCPT. Na comparação de grupos no modelode cinco fatores, os resultados indicaram que ambos os grupos TDAH apresentaram resultados inferiores emtrês fatores: atenção focada, atenção sustentada e vigilância. Os subtipos de TDAH não diferiram em nenhumdos cinco fatores. Conclusões: A análise de cinco fatores mostraram uma boa sensibilidade e propiciou umamelhor compreensão dos sintomas do TDAH, no entanto ela não mostrou especificidade para diferenciaros subtipos combinado e desatento.(AU)

Objectives: This study performed a statistical analysis comparing adolescents with Attention DeficitHyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and a control group in the Conners’ Continuous Performance Test (CCPT)5 factor model, proposed by Egeland and Kovalick-Gran (2010a). Methods: The clinical group wascomposed by 28 participants with ADHD (17 male). The adolescents were divided in two groups regardingtheir ADHD subtype, inattentive or combined. Results: The ADHD group had significantly lower scoreson almost all CCPT. The 5 factors model, showed that both ADHD groups exhibited poorer results in threefactors: focused attention, sustained attention and vigilance. The ADHD subtypes did not differ in any ofthe 5 factors. Conclusions: The five factor analysis showed a good sensibility and better comprehension ofADHD symptoms; however it showed no specificity to differentiate the combined and inattentive subtypes.(AU)

Effects of chronic video game use on time perception: differences between sub- and multi-second intervals.

Even though video game players frequently report losing track of time while playing, few studies have addressed whether there are long-lasting effects of such activity on time perception. We compared the performance of chronic and occasional video game players in sub- and multi-second time perception tasks. Temporal Discrimination and Temporal Bisection tasks, in the range of 100 to 1,000 milliseconds, and Time estimation and Time production tasks, in the range of 5 to 60 seconds, were used to assess sub- and multi-second time perceptions, respectively. Chronic video game players performed significantly better than occasional players on sub-second tasks, but no group difference was found for the multi-second tasks used. Sub- and multi-second time perceptions are associated to different underlying systems: automatic and cognitive controlled for sub- and multi-second tasks, respectively. We argue that video game use seems to induce more efficient implicit, rather than cognitive controlled, processing of time.
