Another must read post from Dr. McGrew. Some quotes, "This study found that adults with ADHD lose their ability to keep rhythm (maintaining a tapping beat) when the tempo is varied. This pilot study suggests that the "effective span of rhythmic feel" is apparently contracted (narrower) in ADHD adults when compared to normal’s.
Might this not suggest that a sensitive metronome-based measurement technology (e.g., the measurement component of Interactive Metronome - conflict of interest disclosure---I'm on the scientific advisory board for IM), that can carefully calibrate the ability to maintain the "feel" for varying tempo's/rhythms might serve as a diagnostic marker for possible ADHD?"
