Objective:

To identify the core mechanisms of performance decline in children with ADHD using digital training performance data and to compare the effects of a mechanism-based personalized protocol with those of a standard protocol.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • Performance decline was more closely associated with commission errors than with omission errors.
    • A speed–accuracy trade-off was observed, where faster responses correlated with increased error rates.
    • Mechanism-based personalized DTx showed greater improvements in attentional control and clinical symptoms compared to the standard protocol.
    Interpretation:

    Performance decline in digital training among children with ADHD may relate to impulsivity and speed–accuracy control characteristics.

    Limitations:
    • The study involved a small sample size of 40 children, which may limit the generalizability of the findings beyond the specific age range and diagnostic criteria used.
    Conclusion:

    Mechanism-based personalized digital therapeutics can enhance training outcomes for children with ADHD.
