The ADHD samples were 30 ADHD-C patients (average age: 7.4). The normal group was consisted of 30 students in an elementary school in Taipei County (average age: 7.3). Major findings were: (1) The results supported the inferences that children with ADHD performed worse than normal group on five subtests (Arithmetic, Digit span, Coding, Picture arrangement, and Object assembly). But their performances were similar on two subtests (Vocabulary and Comprehension). (2) The results didn’t support the inferences that children with ADHD performed worse than normal group on four subtests (Information, Similarities, Picture completion, and Block design). (3) The results supported the inferences that children with ADHD performed worse than normal group on Perceptual Organization Index, and Freedom from Distractibility Index. But their performances were similar on Verbal Comprehension Index.
