Verbal fluency tasks and attention problems in children with ADHD: evidence from fNIRS

BACKGROUND: Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a promising non-invasive neuroimaging tool for assessing cortical activity in children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). While Verbal Fluency Tasks (VFTs) are widely used in adolescents and adults, their application in younger children remains underexplored. This study aimed to examine cortical activation during a VFT in children with ADHD and its association with attention-related behavioral symptoms.
