Abstract
This study investigated the cognitive strengths and weaknesses of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) patients by using quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) to analyze brain mapping outcomes in relation to neuropsychological assessments. A total of 305 participants with and without ADHD were recruited. The theta relative power of QEEG was analyzed using stepwise multiple regression, and twelve scalp regions were compared between groups using independent t-tests. Increased power was found at the T5 scalp region in the ADHD group and at the F4 region in the non-ADHD group. Decreased power was found at the F7 region in the ADHD group and at the F3 region in the non-ADHD group. Six of the twelve brain locations had significantly higher theta relative power in the ADHD group than in the non-ADHD group. These brain mapping outcomes can be easily translated to neuropsychological functions, such as attention, executive function, memory, spatial ability, and language, to better understand or predict the potential behavior of ADHD patients.
