An observational study of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, run by University of Wisconsin, Madison at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
The goal of this study is to create a formal, quantitative methodology to determine what is the most beneficial dose of Central Nervous System (CNS) stimulant (Ritalin, methylphenidate) to improve cognitive and behavioral function of children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) individually.

About this study
Official title: Algorithm to Quantitatively Determine the Ideal Drug Dose to Treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
The goal of this study is to create a formal, quantitative methodology to determine what is the most beneficial dose of Central Nervous System (CNS) stimulant (Ritalin, methylphenidate) to improve cognitive and behavioral function of children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) individually. If successful, it will change the way in which the dose of CNS stimulant for treating ADHD is determined for children in need of therapeutic intervention. The project will be focused on developing the necessary methodology to analyze the children's data with the drift-decision model (DDM), and to develop the required technology, i.e., a computer game with which to measure cognitive/behavioral function and its validation with eye-tracking measurements.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
no intervention. measure eye movement dataOther
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Control | healthy children without ADHD or other mental health issues Receives: Other: no intervention. measure eye movement data | |
| ADHD | children diagnosed with ADHD Receives: Other: no intervention. measure eye movement data |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Task choice
Subjects will perform different cognitive tasks and we will record their choices.
Measured: At the time of testing (the investigators are measuring acute effects, not following outcomes based on a treatment)
Reaction time
The investigators record how long it took them to make their choices.
Measured: At the time of testing (the investigators are measuring acute effects, not following outcomes based on a treatment)
Eye position
The tasks are eye movement based. The investigators record where the subjects were looking as voltages, which are converted to x/y coordinates through a calibration, throughout the different events of the task.
