Validity of specific CPT indices in differentiating school-aged children previously diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder from school-aged children with non-attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder in general education classrooms: a

Compared with school-aged children with non-ADHD in general education classrooms, those with ADHD exhibited significantly lower performance in inattention-related CPT indices. To reach an accurate diagnosis through CPTs, clinicians should pay attention to Detectability, Omission, and HRT SD. Compared with other CPT indices, Detectability, Omission, and HRT SD may function as more suitable indicators for distinguishing between school-aged children with and non-ADHD in general education classrooms. These indicators are robust and unobscured by individual characteristics.
