Attentional selection predicts rapid automatized naming ability in Chinese-speaking children with ADHD

Abstract Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are reported to have a significantly higher risk of showing reading difficulties or disorders. Here, we aimed to identify the relationship between electroencephalographic (EEG) marker of spatial attention and reading ability in C...
