Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are prone to peer rejection and disliking due to difficulties in social perception and interaction. To address social perception impairments in ADHD, we examined children with ADHD in a noisy biological motion (BM) direction discrimination paradigm in association with sociocognitive factors including emotion regulation, theory of mind (TOM), and working memory compared to healthy controls. Our results showed that children with ADHD were poorer in discriminating BM direction in noisy environments ( (1, 36) = 4.655, =0.038). Moreover, a significant correlation was found between working memory and TOM with BM discrimination in an ADHD group ( = 0.442, =0.01, and = 0.403, =0.05, respectively). Our findings could suggest that social perception in noisy scenarios may be affected by memory and social cognitive abilities of children with ADHD.
患有注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的儿童由于社会认知和互动方面的困难，容易遭到同伴的排斥和厌恶。为了解决ADHD患者的社会认知障碍问题，我们让ADHD儿童在嘈杂的生物运动（BM）方向辨别范式中接受测试，并与健康对照组进行比较，同时考察了包括情绪调节、心理理论（TOM）和工作记忆在内的社会认知因素。我们的结果显示，ADHD儿童在嘈杂环境中辨别BM方向的能力较差（(1, 36) = 4.655, =0.038）。此外，在ADHD组中，工作记忆与TOM和BM辨别之间存在显著相关性（分别为 = 0.442, =0.01，以及 = 0.403, =0.05）。我们的研究结果表明，嘈杂场景中的社会认知可能会受到ADHD儿童的记忆和社会认知能力的影响。
