During a neuropsychological assessment, as part of the clinical routine, children with a diagnosis of ADHD, without neurological etiology, aged 8 to 10 years will be offered an additional task. This task, a DRM adapted to the child, consists of learning several lists of words. Each list exposes words belonging to the same lexical field, to a concept not explicitly mentioned in the list, called critical lure. Immediately after the presentation of a list, the child is asked to recall as many words as possible. Recall of the critical lure gives an indication of the production of false memories. The number of critical lures produced by these children will be compared to the calibration of the test, currently being published. The investigator will also verify if the production of critical lures can be correlated with other variables such as performance on intellectual, executive and attentional tasks, proposed during the clinical routine assessment.~The investigator hypothesize that ADHD children will recall more critical lures than the norm, and fewer correct responses than the norm.~The data collected is taken from the child's psychological file. The only personal information used, beyond test performance, is the child's gender and age. The procedure is anonymous.
The purpose of the study is to test whether children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are more susceptible to false memory production using a DRM paradigm. The number of critical decoy production errors will be analyzed and compared to the calibration of the test.
