AULA virtual reality test and EDAH observation scale: Complementary resources in the identification of ADHD

Results: AULA could significantly differentiate between groups of children showing inattention and hyperactivity symptoms versus those no showing symptoms according to EDAH scale in most measured scores. Hyperactivity items were especially addressed by means of motor activity, deviation from the focus and commissions, and differences between symptoms observed by teachers in EDAH were more significant for AULA testing sections in which distractors were present.

Conclusions: AULA Virtual Reality test, by means of quantifiable measures of cognitive symptoms, and third parties’ direct observa- tions of children’s behaviours, collected by means of scales like EDAH, may complement each other and increase the accuracy of clinical diagnosis of ADHD.
