Data are expressed as sums for the 22 individuals in both groups, ADHD and control. “Stimuli” represent the official categorization of the images, while “responses” represent the subject classification of the displayed images during the facial affect recognition procedure (FEEST). The maximum number of correct images individually was 10 per emotions, altogether 220 for the 22 subjects in each group. Correct responses for the given emotional stimuli were highlighted.
