title: Can computerized cognitive tests assist in the clinical diagnosis of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder?
abstract: A group of 34 children and adolescents suspected of having attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder were referred for a computerized evaluation that included sustained attention, working memory, planning, and set-shifting. Although only sustained attention had reasonable specificity, all tests had questionable contribution to the diagnostic evaluation.
