Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate performance on the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ( ADHD) Battery of the Cambridge Automated Neuropsychological Test Battery (CANTAB), including spatial working memory, inhibitory control, and attention while using either a noise cancelling headphone or sham headphone control in the presence of standardized auditory distractors in children and adolescents with ADHD.

Primary Outcome

Compare change from Baseline scores on the Cambridge Automated Neuropsychological Test Battery (CANTAB) ADHD battery with noise cancelling headphones and sham-controls. Results are reported as change from Baseline for each of 4 components of the ADHD battery. Motor Control Task: no minimum and maximum values as values are reaction times; positive scores indicate slower reaction times compared to baseline; lower scores indicate faster reaction times compared to Baseline
