Recruitment Requirement
As the recruitment criteria for children with ADHD, it was required that their diagnoses meet the DSM-V diagnostic criteria for ADHD and should be confirmed by a psychiatrist. The criteria entailed an impulsive behavior, academic difficulties resulting from lack of self-control, as well as emotional irritation on most occasions. Children with ADHD must score above 85 points on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale in order to meet these criteria. This scale measures children between the ages of 6 and 16 in terms of their ability to perform a variety of intellectual tasks, which include general cognitive abilities, verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed (Gomez et al., 2016). Participants were required to be 9-14 years old, with no gender limitations. They should be able to express themselves verbally, have the ability to express feelings, and be able to think critically. Conduct Disorder, Major Psychosis, Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Mental Retardation, Epilepsy, and other organic nervous system disorders should be excluded from the evaluation.
