Diagnostic Predictive Modelling of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Accuracy of Spatiotemporal Fractal Measures

This is a prospective, cross-sectional case-control study. Children between the ages of 5-12 will be taken to the study as a case and control group, and the game will be performed together with the questionnaires. The case group consisted of 54 children (18 ADHD combined, 18 ADHD Inattentive, 18 ADHD Hyperactive), aged between 5 and 12 years, who were admitted to the Pediatric Psychiatry Outpatient Clinic for the first time. The case group will be newly diagnosed, previously untreated. Participants and the parents of them will be informed in detail about the study. After the clinical interview, the Conners' ADHD Rating Scale will be applied to the parents of children who have agreed to participate in the study and who have been informed in written and orally. The Battleship will be played on the computer for 20-40 minutes. Researchers will teach the children to play the game. After the children learn how to play the game, the game will be played by the children without any help. The player will play the game alone. The player will not be a competitor against the player or another player. When the game is completed, children will be able to learn their score. At the end of each game, the child will be asked if he or she would like to play another game. The children will play eight times the game. The total testing duration will be approximately 20-40 min; including one break after the fourth game. During the task completion the child will receive visual feedback (in the computer screen) about the number of shots already performed, time passed, and their ongoing performance (amount of sunk ships. After finishing the interview an archive file will be created for each participant containing the data coming from the computer game Battleship. The Battleship: The game will attempt to discover four ships of different lengths stored as "battleships". You need to choose a frame to make a move. In any move a warning appears saying that he "missed" a ship, or "found" the ship. The total number of movements for each game played is saved to the computer. Then, for each game, a graph will be created to show the player's motion model. Each player has a different movement pattern.
