Abstract:

Modern communication models are increasingly exploring the characteristic of the communication process that can be manifested in the detection, discrimination or interpretation of information. Since communication involves the recipient and the sender of information, there are many factors that can affect the outcome of the communication process such as variability of attention, response time, individual stimulus threshold, and visual stimuli that can enhance or interfere with communication processes. The goal of communication is to provide as accurate and unaltered information as possible, while increasing noise in the communication channel increases the likelihood that the information will be transmitted only partially or will be misinterpreted. The extent to which information will be interpreted depends on the perceptual paradigms of the individual and the specific attributes of the information, which has not been researched in-depth in the population of children with ADHD.

Psychophysical research can determine the characteristics of stimuli and their impact on the outcome of the communication process. The topic of this paper is the analysis of perceptual attributes of visual stimuli primarily the shape, brightness and duration of stimuli on the outcome of the communication process in children with hyperactive disorder. By comparing the subjects from the experimental and control groups, the threshold of stimulation of the subjects will be obtained by visual stimuli. By analyzing the results of experimental research, insight into the communication processes of children with ADHD will be gained, especially about the specifics in the detection, discrimination and interpretation of visual stimuli. At the cognitive level, the scientific contribution will be achieved through the presentation of the specifics of perceptual attributes of visual stimuli as a significant indicator of the communication process in children with ADHD, and at the methodological level through the development of original methodology of qualitative and quantitative comparison of perceptual attributes of visual stimuli on the subjects of the experimental group using statistical parameter analysis, and analysis of the characteristics of perceptual attributes of visual stimuli on the course of the communication process in children with ADHD. At the practical level, inventiveness will be manifested through the application of the interpreted results in defining guidelines for creating a specific theoretical framework for understanding the relationship between the impact of visual stimuli and hyperactive disorder.
