Color vision and self-reported visual function in everyday life in young adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) were investigated.
Participants were 30 young adults with ADHD and 30 controls matched for age and gender. They were tested individually and completed the Visual Activities Questionnaire (VAQ), Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue Test (FMT) and A Quick Test of Cognitive Speed (AQT).
The ADHD group reported significantly more problems in 4 of 8 areas on the VAQ: depth perception, peripheral vision, visual search and visual processing speed. Further analyses of VAQ items revealed that the ADHD group endorsed more visual problems associated with driving than controls. Color perception difficulties on the FMT were restricted to the blue spectrum in the ADHD group. FMT and AQT results revealed slower processing of visual stimuli in the ADHD group.
A comprehensive investigation of mechanisms underlying visual function and color vision in adults with ADHD is warranted, along with the potential impact of these visual problems on driving performance.
研究患有注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的年轻人的色觉和日常生活中自我报告的视觉功能。
参与者为30名患有ADHD的年轻人和30名年龄及性别匹配的对照组。他们接受了单独测试，并完成了视觉活动问卷（VAQ）、法恩斯沃思-芒塞尔100色调测试（FMT）和认知速度快速测试（AQT）。
ADHD组在VAQ的8个领域中的4个领域报告了明显更多的问题：深度感知、周边视觉、视觉搜索和视觉处理速度。对VAQ项目的进一步分析表明，ADHD组认可的与驾驶相关的视觉问题比对照组更多。ADHD组在FMT上的颜色感知困难仅限于蓝色光谱。FMT和AQT结果显示ADHD组对视觉刺激的处理较慢。
有必要对患有ADHD的成年人视觉功能和色觉的潜在机制进行全面调查，以及这些视觉问题对驾驶性能的潜在影响。
