Abstract: Current research on visual attention differences in college students with ADHD is limited. It is not yet known whether ADHD-related visual attention differences are due to deficits in visual processing or in visual attention. The current study uses the continuous performance task (CPT), along with eye-tracking technology, to test whether college students with higher self-reported ADHD symptoms spend less time looking at the designated target and glance away from the target more than those with lower ADHD symptoms. Those with a broader range of ADHD-related impairment showed deficits in visual attention. Interestingly, however, higher levels of ADHD symptoms predicted better performance on the visual attention task.
