Patients with ADHD have a deficit from delayed reward processing to learn positive or negative consequences (delay aversion due to the deferred reward). Hence, they need a timely immediate reward or negative consequence. In human-human interactions, it could be shown that an intensive, effective behavioral therapy training program for children and adolescents with ADHD (the Summer-Camp) has a sustainable effectiveness. The main feature of the training is an intensive response-cost-intervention (RCI).

In this project we investigate how this training can be supported by the virtual agent Flobi. The main research questions are

  • Which parts of the training can be implemented with the agent?
  • Can additional training with the agent at home increase the positive effects of the Summer-Camp?
