Differentiating between ADHD sub‐types on CCPT measures of sustained attention and vigilance
Abstract
The aim of the study was to test whether sustained attention and vigilance, often considered as the same phenomenon, dissociate on the Conners’ Continuous Performance Test, and whether subjects with ADHD‐Inattentive type and ADHD‐Combined type differ with regard to these measures. Sixty‐five healthy controls and 67 subjects with ADHD between 9 and 16 years of age participated in the study. The ADHD‐I group performed below control children on Hit Reaction Time Block Change, considered to measure sustained attention and the ADHD‐C group scored below controls on Hit Reaction Time Inter‐Stimulus‐Interval, considered to measure vigilance. Comparing the two clinical groups showed a test by group interaction, with ADHD‐I subjects performing below ADHD‐C subjects with regard to sustained attention and above ADHD‐C subjects with regard to vigilance. Sustained attention on the CCPT correlated specifically with parent and teacher ratings of inattention, but not with ratings of hyperactivity‐impulsivity, while vigilance correlated with all symptom ratings.

Deficits in each of the seven domains have been described for individuals with ADHD.
“Deficits in each of these domains have been described for individuals with ADHD (e.g. Selective Attention [20], Sustained Attention [21], Response Precision [22], Cognitive Flexibility [23], Working Memory [24], Temporal Information Processing [15], Response Inhibition [13]).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
