Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of research was to discover professional tasks on which individuals with developmental disorders show superior performance, in order to facilitate the development of their work area. Two experimental analogue studies were conducted with nonclinical college students. The two studies indicated that individuals with ADHD tendency show superior performance in detecting some sorts of errors. These results suggest the possibility that individuals with ADHD tendency are suitable for works involving proofreading tasks.
