We evaluate attention maps generated by state-of-the-art VQA models against human attention both qualitatively (via visualizations) and quantitatively (via rank-order correlation).
Method: The present study evaluated the effects of two single, acute doses of methylphenidate (10 and 20 mg) and a placebo on the driving performance of 53 adults with ADHD (mean age = 37 years, range = 18 65) using a virtual reality driving simulator, examiner and self-ratings of simulator performance, and a continuous performance test (CPT) to evaluate attention and inhibition.
In a group of 121 subjects with mild to moderate AD, (MMSE score 21.88 ± 3.63) followed in the Alzheimer Unit in Florence, after a year of treatment with standard doses of ChEIs, it was observed a stabilization of the disease, characterized by no changes of the tests evaluating attention and executive functions but a worsening of those involving memory mechanisms.
In contrast, alerting recruits the thalamus [36] whose activation is often relatively preserved in multiple experiments evaluating attention following SD [4], [8], [28].
The MDRS can be used to evaluate attention, initiation/perseveration (I/P), construction, conceptualization and memory.
We further evaluated attention to the task using a surprise post-scanning memory test.
It requires constant mental focus on a monotonous task, therefore, the test is considered as suitable for evaluating attention.
The ADHD DSM-IV checklist comprises 18 items designed to evaluate attention deficit, hyperactivity, and impulsivity in children.
As integrated models for prevention and care are evaluated, attention must be given to cost-effectiveness and leveraging available resources.
The Trail Making Test, parts A and B (TMT-A and TMT-B), was primarily used to evaluate attention and psychomotor speed [ 25].
