Concept of cooperation in essential for understanding human nature. In our study we evaluate cooperation in patients with attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity plus defiant disorder (ADH+DD). We used a test designed by us, called computerised Prisoners´dilemma to evaluate cooperation (DPOC). This test tries to avoid response bias in test based on questionnaires with a simulation by computer of a social interchange. Comparisons of ADHD+DD with community control group show that their cooperative behaviour is chaotic in absence of a treatment stabilization (defined as an improvement of 4 in a Likert scale for parents and a score below diagnosis point in Conners and Eyberg test). Once stabilization was reached with metilphenidate 0,6- 1mg/kg plus psycotherapy, ADHD+DD case have a more erratic and less cooperative behavior than a control group, with more impulsive responses and difficulty to understand the test when it becomes more complex.
