These ERP findings suggest that children with ADHD evaluate conflict to a lesser extent and differ in the way their brains select appropriate responses during conflict compared with controls. In addition, the conflict sustained potential was found frontally in the ADHD group but parietally in the control group. However, the difference between the congruent and the incongruent condition in the 450-550 ms time window was absent in the ADHD group compared to controls. No differences between the groups occurred in the early conflict-related ERPs. Children with ADHD responded more slowly, less accurately and more variably compared to controls. Individuals with auditory processing disorders may not perceive. Broadly, auditory processing disorders negatively impact the brain’s interpretation of sounds.

An auditory processing disorder is a broad term used to describe a variety of different auditory challenges rather than a single event. No deficit in interference control was found on the auditory Stroop task in children with ADHD. APDs affect the auditory areas of the brain. The issue is that their brains have trouble making sense of what’s said to them. There’s nothing wrong with their hearing. Twenty-four children with ADHD were compared with 24 control children (aged 8-12 years). Children with auditory processing disorder have a hard time registering and remembering what they hear. This study was conducted to gain insight into conflict processing in children with ADHD.Įvent-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded in an auditory Stroop task. Cognitive control is crucial to suppress interference resulting from conflicting information and can be measured by Stroop-like tasks. Impaired cognitive control has been implicated as an important developmental pathway to attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
