Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the visuospatial functions in children, 7-15 years of age, diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Within the framework of this overall purpose of the study, Benton Face Recognition Test and Benton Judgment of Line Orientation Test were carried out to evaluate the visuospatial perception skills. Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure - Copy and WISC-R cube design subtests were applied to evaluate the visuospatial construction skills. Within this scope, thirty five children diagnosed with ADHD by a psychiatrist or neurologist and thirty nine normally developed children with no health problems were examined. The results of the study indicated that the comparison between the children diagnosed with ADHD and normally developed children revealed that there was a meaningful difference in the dorsal surface visuospatial perception, regarding being diagnosed with ADHD or not. However, within this skill, the children diagnosed with ADHD were found to spent less time than the children not diagnosed with ADHD.
