METHODS: Twenty-two individuals with ADHD (mean age, 34.5 years) attending the outpatient clinic of Showa University Karasuyama Hospital were included in the study, and 26 healthy individuals (mean age, 32.6 years) with no history of mental disorders were used as the control group. For the participants, intellectual functioning was estimated using the Japanese Adult Reading Test, and mental symptoms were assessed using the Autism Spectrum Quotient and Conner\'s Adult ADHD Rating Scale. We extracted human dialogue scenes from two classic movies as visual stimuli and recorded the participant\'s gaze while watching these scenes using Tobii\'s eye tracker.
RESULTS: For gazing time, repeated measures analysis of variance showed no significant main effect of \"group\" and no significant interaction effect between \"group\" and areas of interest \"(AOI).\" In the normal group, gazing time at the eyes was significantly longer than those at the mouth, body, and background; in the ADHD group, gazing time at the eyes was significantly longer than only that at the background.
CONCLUSIONS: Given the different results obtained in the past in ASD, these results suggest that it would be necessary to directly compare the two groups to determine whether the gaze measurement shows significant differences in ASD and ADHD.
方法:22名ADHD患者(平均年龄,34.5年)参加昭和大学喀山医院门诊的研究,和26名健康个体(平均年龄,32.6年)无精神障碍史的患者作为对照组。对于参与者来说,智力功能是使用日本成人阅读测试来估计的,使用自闭症谱系商和Conner的成人ADHD评定量表评估精神症状。我们从两部经典电影中提取了人类对话场景作为视觉刺激,并在使用Tobii的眼动仪观看这些场景时记录了参与者的凝视。
结果:对于凝视时间,重复测量方差分析显示,“组”没有显着的主要作用,“组”与感兴趣的区域(AOI)之间也没有显着的交互作用。“在正常组中,眼睛的凝视时间明显长于嘴巴,身体,和背景;在多动症组,眼睛的凝视时间明显长于背景。
结论:鉴于过去在ASD中获得的不同结果,这些结果表明,有必要直接比较两组,以确定凝视测量是否显示ASD和ADHD的显著差异.
