Overview

Participants with ADHD showed deficits in interoception accuracy and attention, indicating potential impairments in sensory processing.

Key Points

  • To assess interoceptive abilities in adults with ADHD compared to typically developed adults.
  • Comparative study involving 57 typically developed adults and 30 with an ADHD diagnosis
  • Behaviours and self-reported measures assessed interoceptive accuracy and attention
  • Psychophysiological assessments used heartbeat counting task for accuracy and confidence ratings
  • Analysis of covariance performed to identify group differences controlling for confounding variables
  • Individuals with ADHD scored lower on behavioural accuracy and self-report measures than controls
  • Significant effects of ethnicity, age, and depression on interoceptive abilities
  • Study suggests interoceptive impairment is a feature of ADHD despite demographic controls
