Visual Attention to and Comprehension of Television in Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disordered and Normal Boys.
Landau, Steven; And Others
Child Development, v63 n4 p928-37 Aug 1992
In the presence of distracting toys, attention-deficit hyperactivity disordered (ADHD) boys spent half as much time as normal boys watching a television program. When toys were absent, there was no difference in attention between the groups. Recall of program didactic content by ADHD and normal boys did not differ. (BC)
