[Diagnosis of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder with a conditioned reflexes approach]

A new conditioned reflexes approach for assessment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in children has been used. Successful solving of behavioral task was related with the ability of children to shift their attention on spatially located sensory signals in radial labyrinth with asymmetric schedule of rewards. The innovative method developed gives a good possibility to increase the accuracy of ADHD evaluation in children of different age as well as to reduce the time for their behavioral testing.
