An assessment of dynamic facial emotion recognition and theory of mind in children with ADHD: An eye-tracking study

This study therefore compared the recognition of emotional stimuli and gaze patterns between children with ADHD and healthy children using eye-tracking with dynamic facial images. It also examined the relationship between facial emotion recognition accuracy, gaze patterns, ToM scores, and ADHD symptoms. Children with ADHD aged 8-13 (n=47) and a control group (n=38) completed a facial emotion recognition test, ToM tests, and the Conners’ Parent Rating Scale. Participants' gaze patterns in response to dynamic facial emotion expressions were recorded using eye-tracking technology
