Abstract

Adults with ADHD may perform better than non-ADHD peers on some measures of verbal divergent thinking, but few studies have explored the visual domain. We compared college students’ performance on a standardized measure of visual divergent thinking (ATTA) and found ADHD-related advantages on criterion-referenced indicators but not norm-referenced scores.
