This paper presents a user model for students performing virtual learning processes. This
model is used to infer the presence of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
indicators in a student. The user model is built considering three user characteristics, which
can be also used as variables in different contexts. These variables are: behavioral conduct
(BC), executive functions performance (EFP), and emotional state (ES). For inferring the
ADHD symptomatic profile of a student and his/her emotional alterations, these features
are used as input in a set of classification rules. Based on the testing of the proposed model,
training examples are obtained. These examples are used to prepare a classification machine
learning algorithm for performing, and improving, the task of profiling a student. The
proposed user model can provide the first step to adapt learning resources in e-learning
platforms to people with attention problems, specifically, young-adult students with ADHD
