摘要
Introduction: In this short commentary, we highlight the changes in the conceptualization of ADHD from the perspective of the current main diagnostic systems (the DSM-5 and the imminent IDC-11) and their implications for the assessment/diagnosis of the disorder. Results: We provide a short review on the most widely known assessment methods available today, such as virtual reality tools, while also paying special attention to the ecological validity of these measures. Specifically, we describe new tools based on virtual reality, which has the potential to become a reliable, widely spread, and ecologically valid measure of ADHD. Conclusions: While measures using virtual reality tools have shown effectiveness in some previous studies, their characteristics, applicability, and future challenges concerning their use are presented here. © 2017, Springer International Publishing Switzerland.
