Many studies showed that people process visual information in a specific order - first the global level - the general picture - and only then they consider the local level - the details. This pattern of information processing is an advantage in many situations but can be a disadvantage in others. This effect was first reported by Professor NAVON (1977) in his article: Forest before trees.

In recent years, cerebral specialization has discovered: the right hemisphere is responsible for global processing.  This is especially important for those who suffer from ADHD because the disorder is known to be related to dysfunctions in right hemisphere.

This research concerns the spatial processing in ADHD.
