Popis: Abstract Background Millions of children around the whole world are diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) which is considered as one of the most common mental disorders and often persists into adulthood. There is almost a weak point in rapid naming abilities in children with ADHD in comparison to children without ADHD. This was a cross-sectional study that was applied on 30 patients with an age ranging from 8 to 11 years and 6 months diagnosed as ADHD based on objective and clinical examination and measures. Results After the application of the Rapid Automatized Naming test (RAN) test on 30 patients with ADHD, there were 24 cases out of the 30 cases (80%) below 25th percentile (at risk) and 6 cases out of the 30 cases (20%) at 25th percentile (average performance). As regard the accuracy of RAN, there were 10 cases (33.3%) below 25th percentile (at risk) and 20 cases (66.7%) at 25th percentile (average performance). Conclusions This study showed that among children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), there was affection in Rapid Automatized Naming (RAN) duration which represents working memory affection relative to children without ADHD.
