Abstract
The Selective Auditory Attention Test (SAAT) was given to children diagnosed as having Attention-Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) twice: after the administration of methylphenidate, and after the administration of a placebo. Children in the control group were tested twice, but without drugs or placebos. Results revealed no simple drug effect, but a strong order effect. The implications of using the SAAT as a predictor of auditory attention deficits and concerns regarding its test-retest reliability are discussed.
