Abstract: During passive and active listening tasks baseline respiratory sinus arrhythmia and heart-rate responses were studied of 18 children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and 49 healthy school children. The experimental procedure included baseline recording (no task), a passive listening task, instructions, and both simple and discriminative active-listening tasks. ADHD subjects showed less respiratory sinus arrhythmia than normal children but were similarly responsive to lone stimuli.
