Adult Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and the isolation of low and high end component operations in temporal processing and time perception

Abstract

Evidence has shown that Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is associated with deficits in temporal processing and time perception (Toplak & Tannock, 2004). Current literature, however, focuses on time perception in children with ADHD, while very little research has investigated perceptual deficits in ADHD adults, particulary at stimulus presentation intervals of less than one second.
