Abstract
Attention deficit with hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most prevalent disorders within the child population today. The number of developments in the area of Serious Games and Biofeedback targeting these children has increased recently. Nevertheless there is no specific methodology for evaluating these interventions. The object of this article is to establish a common core of minimum criteria for carrying out validation experiments of this kind. These protocol guidelines are aimed at the evaluation of cognitive rehabilitation activities for children with ADHD. The key point in this methodology is that it takes into account the inclusion of biofeedback and Serious Games techniques within the intervention program. The proposed methodology was specifically designed for researchers in computer science, who need to evaluate each study setting specifically, so as to determine the most suitable validation protocol for each case.
