The results show the followings: 1) under the condition of orienteering teaching, the levels of inhibition function, transition function and refreshing function of the children with ADHD increased before and after intervention, and had significant differences; under the condition of normal teaching, the children with ADHD had no significant differences before and after inter-vention; 2) under the condition of orienteering teaching, the levels of inhibition function, transition function and re-freshing function of the normal children increased before and after intervention, and had significant differences; under the condition of normal teaching, the normal children had no significant differences before and after intervention; 3) under the condition of orienteering teaching, the increase of the level of execution function of the children with ADHD was significantly higher than that of the normal children. The result indicate the followings: the orienteering interven-tion program has a positive effect on the execution function of both children with ADHD and normal children, and the effect of improvement of execution function of children with ADHD is better than that of normal children.
