A new study by Prof. Boaz Ben-David and Rony Lemel of Reichman University’s Baruch Ivcher School of Psychology has found that Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) causes a delay in speech perception and difficulty in understanding the meaning of spoken sentences.
The results of the study show that background noise takes a heavy toll on students with ADHD. The researchers investigated the effects of ADHD on spoken-word processing in noisy conditions. This is the first study to examine “online” (real-time) speech processing in young people with ADHD by using an eyetracker.
