I love the way you cut through the hype.

The circles for “People who spend lots of time monitoring multiple sources of information” and “People with ADD” have a lot of overlap in a Venn diagram describing both, and the task-switching task sounds like an advanced form of the TOVA.
Speaking as someone who is clearly in the overlapping circles, I can say that nothing here particularly surprises me.
