The MFFT is a twelve-item measure of impulse control, visual discrimination and attention to detail. The child is shown a picture of an object and must choose from a group of nearly identical pictures the one that exactly matches the target picture. Scoring is based on the speed of response in relation to accuracy. Children with ADHD are reported to respond quickly to each item while at the same time making many errors, which results in an overall low score (Sonuga-Barke, Houlberg & Hall, 1994).
The capacity to perform adequately on these sorts of tasks appears to be partly determined by the integrity of the temporal and parietal areas of the brain (shown in the diagram on page 22). Shifting attention The ability to change attentive focus in a flexible and adaptive manner is commonly referred to as shifting attention, although some of the neuropsychological literature describes the inability to effectively supervise attentional control as a deficit in the executive functions or the central executive.
In other words the rate at which their scores deteriorate with time spent on the task declines faster than appears to be the case with normal children at a similar level of development. There are a number of continuous performance tests commercially available, including the Conners’ Continuous Performance Test (Conners, 1995), the TOVA (Test of Variables of Attention—Greenberg & Waldman, 1993), and the Vigil Continuous Performance Test (Psychological Corporation, 1996). In fact the main difficulty with these tests from a diagnostic point of view is the variety of versions adopted among practitioners and researchers, which leads to a confusing range of numbers used to describe a child’s performance.
