Methylphenidate and cognitive performance
Methylphenidate (MPH) is the active ingredient of stimulant drugs that are frequently prescribed to individuals with Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In this chapter we examine the effect of MPH on different aspects of cognitive performance. The reviewed findings suggest that MPH effectively enhances sustained attention, response inhibition, and working memory capacities; yet ...
متن کاملDose-response effects of methylphenidate on ecologically valid measures of academic performance and classroom behavior in adolescents with ADHD.
The effects of methylphenidate on the academic performance and classroom behavior of 45 adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder were studied. During a 6-week, placebo-controlled medication assessment in the context of a summer treatment program, participants received a double-blind, crossover trial of 3 doses of methylphenidate. Dependent measures included note-taking quality,...
متن کاملFurther analysis of the separate and interactive effects of methylphenidate and common classroom contingencies.
We evaluated separate and interactive effects between common classroom contingencies and methylphenidate (MPH) on disruptive and off-task behaviors for 4 children with a diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Analogue conditions consisting of contingent teacher reprimands, brief time-out, no interaction, and alone were conducted in a multielement design. Medication status (MPH o...
متن کاملA preliminary analysis of interactive effects between common classroom contingencies and methylphenidate.
To assess the drug-behavior interaction effects with an 8-year-old boy wih attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, common classroom antecedent (e.g., seating arrangement) and consequent (e.g., peer prompts) stimuli were alternated within a school day while drug conditions (methylphenidate vs. placebo) were alternated across days. The results suggested that peer attention maintained disruptive...
متن کاملIncreasing performance with multiply-add units and wide buses
A balanced increase of memory bandwidth and computational performance is one of the current trends towards high performance microprocessors. This improvement can be attained either by replicating resources such as buses and functional units or by making them more complex. For example, some microprocessors, as the IBM’s POWER2 double the width of the buses between the register file and the first...
