Twenty-four 8- to 12-year-old boys with ADHD and 24 non-ADHD boys matched on age and IQ viewed an edited, nondialogue portion of a humorous television program to examine performance on a task requiring attention to and recall of temporal information. Participants were required to retell the story as closely as possible, to complete a picture-prompted sequencing task taken from the story, and to identify time-saving actions taken by the central character. Measures were also obtained of the number of prospective, retrospective, or present time-related references made and whether participants correctly identified the overarching time theme of the story. Significant group differences in favor of the comparison boys were evident in the total number of actions recalled and the number of events recalled in sequence. When controlling for poorer memory performance in boys with ADHD, however, there was no significant main effect of diagnostic group. A logistic regression analysis controlled for poorer memory performance indicated no significant differences between the number of boys with and without ADHD who correctly identified the overarching time theme of the story.
24名8至12岁患有注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的男孩以及24名在年龄和智商上与之匹配的非ADHD男孩观看了一段经过编辑的、无对白的幽默电视节目片段，以考察他们在一项需要关注和回忆时间信息的任务中的表现。参与者被要求尽可能准确地复述故事，完成一项从故事中提取的图片提示序列任务，并识别主角采取的节省时间的行动。还对前瞻性、回顾性或与当前时间相关的提及次数进行了测量，以及参与者是否正确识别了故事的总体时间主题。在回忆的行动总数和按顺序回忆的事件数量方面，明显有利于对照组男孩的显著组间差异。然而，在控制了ADHD男孩较差的记忆表现后，诊断组没有显著的主效应。一项控制了较差记忆表现的逻辑回归分析表明，正确识别故事总体时间主题的ADHD男孩和非ADHD男孩的数量之间没有显著差异。
