โœฆ Synopsis

Using a double-blind cross-over design, the effect of methylphenidate on the performance of 23 hyperactive children on four tasks measuring different aspects of attention was investigated. While receiving methylphenidate the hyperactive children showed a significant improvement in all aspects of their performance which had, in comparison to a control group of normal children, been initially impaired. Furthermore, methylphenidate produced a significant improvement in performance in those behaviours which had not been initially impaired.
