Why Software Updates Feel Harder With ADHD
Why does a simple software update suddenly make everything feel impossible to use?
In this Research Recap, Skye and Robbie break down a meta-analysis examining object recognition memory in ADHD.
Object recognition memory helps your brain recognize visual information like icons, folders, faces, and layouts. It’s what allows you to quickly identify the right button in a menu or remember where something lives inside a complex interface.
Researchers reviewed 28 studies involving children and adolescents with ADHD to examine whether object recognition memory differs from neurotypical controls.
Skye and Robbie walk through:
- How researchers test object recognition memory
- What the data actually shows about ADHD and visual recognition tasks
- Why visually complex systems like software interfaces can feel cognitively heavier for ADHD brains
No hype.
No miracle cures.
No “just try harder.”
Just what the research shows.
Then tune in on Friday, when Skye and Robbie return to this study and explore how these findings might translate into practical strategies for navigating tools, systems, and visual environments with ADHD.

Diagnosed with ADHD at the start of her PhD, Skye Waterson spent years researching what actually works and writing about it for thousands of founders. The pattern she kept finding: ADHD business owners don't have a focus problem, they have an operations problem, because the whole business runs through their own head. Now she and her husband, former programmer Robert Waterson, work as fractional COOs for those founders. They find the bottleneck, hire the fix, and build the system that holds.
