EL HAJJ, Simone Alves et al. Processing speed assessment in a sample of 7- 10 year-olds children. Psicol. hosp. (São Paulo) [online]. 2014, vol.12, n.1, pp.69-85. ISSN 2175-3547.

We compared the performance of children with diagnosis of ADHD to the healthy children on tests of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, 4th edition (WISC-IV) Processing Speed. We selected sixteen children, 8 with diagnosis of ADHD (ADHD group) and 8 healthy subjects (control group), of both sexes, aged 7-10 years, from the public schools of the city of Itatiba / SP. Processing speed was assessed by the following tests: Coding Browse Symbols and Cancellation. The results showed no significant difference between the groups we conclude that the results examined by SNAP-IV scale, no statistically significant difference between groups. Future studies could expand the number of participants in order to balance the number of participants of age.
