Most ADHD patients on stimulants are taking a dose targeting behavioural dysregulation (parents base feedback to doctors on the child’s behaviour; no one uses cognitive tests to determine dose). We’ll test the prediction that ADHD patients will perform better on attention, working memory, reading & math, when on half their dose. This page last updated 24 Jan 2024. |
