Abstract

The main symptoms of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. In addition to cognitive and behavioral deficits present in ADHD, having difficulties in social skills has also been observed in different studies. The objective of this study was to analyze performance in recognizing emotional facial expression in this group. For this, a clinical group with ADHD was compared to a control group. Emotional facial expression recognition tools were applied. No statistically significant differences were found between groups in non-contextualized static emotions. However, differences were found in non-contextualized dynamic emotions, contextualized scenarios and secondary social skills. In addition, a more comprehensive analysis identified a subgroup of children with ADHD that performed better than the other ADHD group of children and similarly to the control group.
