The Correlation between total Perdue Pegboard task and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder-Rating Scale (ADHD-RS) scores: Children with lower ADHD-RS scores performed better on the Perdue Pegboard task than children with higher scores. An inverse correlation was found across groups between total Perdue Pegboard task performance and total parent-reported ADHD-RS scores (r60 = -0.392, p = 0.002).
