Increases working memory performance
LimitedEvidence strength: limited. Human evidence with several recorded weaknesses, or a design that tops out at limited.Finding“A significant main effect of treatment was observed for numeric working memory accuracy, whereby accuracy improved (better performance: F(1,96) = 8.76, p = 0.004) following methylphenidate (M = 96.47, SD ± 2.83) administration relative to placebo (M = 94.45, SD ± 4.43, with an odds ratio of 1.67 (95%CI: 1.09–2.57).).”
