Abstract

This study aimed to quantify how facial recognition ability may be associated with social outcomes by measuring interpersonal skills and perceived peer acceptance. Analysis found facial recognition ability to be associated with the development of interpersonal skills for individuals who have ADHD. This suggests students with ADHD may find greater benefit from social-emotional interventions that are personalized to their facial recognition ability.
