“These findings can be interpreted in the light of a hypothesized inverted U-shaped function relating dopamine and noradrenaline activity to performance (Robbins and Sahakian, 1979).”

In the citing paper
“It is also consistent with a growing literature documenting baseline performance-dependent effects of stimulants and related drugs, which have been explained by a hypothesized inverted U-shaped function, whereby optimal catecholamine levels determine optimal performance, and levels along the curve at either side of the optimum are associated with impaired performance (Robbins and Sahakian, 1979; N”

“It is seemingly paradoxical that psychostimulant drugs which increase activity should ameliorate the symptoms of ADHD, but this may be related to the rate-dependent nature of some of amphetamine's effects (Robbins & Evenden, 1985; Robbins & Sahakian, 1979).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
