Idiom comprehension in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. A preliminary study.

Year: 2016

Type: dissertation

Abstract: Idiom comprehension was assessed in a group consisting of three adults diagnosed with AD/HD and a control group consisting of three adults without any known disorder. We tested whether the AD/HD group had more difficulties regarding idiom comprehension with three tasks: a pictureselecting task, a task where both groups had to give a definition of a given idiom, and a task where they had to match an idiom to the correct story. We found no significant results: a diagnosis of AD/HD did not seem to have any effect on the performance on these tasks.
