Hi all,
Does anyone know of a good neuropsych test that gives an index of distractibility in adults (preferably to be used on pc)? I know that WAIS has such a scale and that some people use versions of CPT (continuous performance task), but I do not have much experience using any of them. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks,
Florin

Don't know that one Florin, but I never did much pediatrics or ADHD clinical work. Just make sure the normative sample in the age ranges you want is nice and big, and it should be fine.

Thanks Melissa! I also did a search and found info about TOVA. It seems that many people use it because it's easy to administer - it's also on pc. Have you used this?
Thanks,

Hi Florin,
I think CPT is probably the best. The computer program calculates normed scores for you, so it is easy to use. I might be able to remember how to interpret it if you need help....
