    Determination of the effects of environmental factors on attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder
    (International Institute of Informatics and Systemics, IIIS, 2018) Sahmurova,A.
    Having persistent symptoms starting from childhood, Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), is characterized by behaviours affecting a large number of people such as impulsivity, inattention, severe hyperactivity, and difficulty in maintaining concentration. There are many factors that may contribute to the development of ADHD such as inheritance, neurological/neuropsychological and environmental factors. One of the environmental factors, noise, may have psychological impacts on humans in addition to its physiological effects. Individuals with ADHD are usually sensitive to loud sounds and they are affected negatively in noisy places. What is more, noise may lead to short-term memory loss and distraction. In the present study, we aim to explore the relationship between ADHD and noise, an environmental factor playing an important role in the development of ADHD. Demographic parameters were also analyzed and unpaired Ttest data did not suggest a significant difference between those parameters and ADHD scores. © WMSCI 2018 - 22nd World Multi-Conference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics, Proceedings.
