Abstract

As a part of an Operant Test Battery (OTB), a set of five behavioral tasks was given to a group of children at the Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH) and a group of rhesus monkeys at the National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR) [4]. Through a separate process, at ACH, the children had been diagnosed as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), boarder line ADD, or healthy. Using the Self-Organizing Map neural network [1], the profiles of both healthy monkeys and children of varied ages with ADD were then generated and compared. The goal is to determine whether the animal model shares certain traits characteristics of ADD.
