Abstract

Objective: ADHD occurs in 2 %-8 % of all preschoolers. There are only few methods for diagnosing ADHD at this age.The current study aims to validate the QbMini Test, a psychometric tool that measures the three main symptoms of ADHD, inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity, in preschool-aged children. Method: The QbMini Test was taken by a sample of 95 five-year-old children, both with and without ADHD. This computer-based test recorded attention and impulsivity by means of a CPT, while the hyperactivity measurement was carried out via an infrared camera. In addition, the parents rated their respective children on symptom-specific behavior sheets for ADHS (CBCL and FBB-ADHS-V). Results: Based on regression analysis of the resulting data, the relationship between QbMini Test and the symptom-specific behavior ratings showed significant correlations, especially for the factor hyperactivity. Conclusions: The initial results show that the QbMini Test is a valid tool that may be used in conjunction with other ADHD diagnostic methods at preschool age.
