Abstract
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), characterized by impulsivity, inattention, and hyperactivity, causes educational and social difficulties. It was hypothesized that using a fidget tool will increase attention for participants with ADHD. 50 adolescents ages 10-18 were tested using “CogniFit”. Results show that fidget tools increase the sustained attention of participants.
