Abstract

We examined the effects of a range of methylphenidate (MPH) doses on attention deficit disordered-hyperactive (ADDH) children's attention in school and on Continuous Performance Test (CPT) performance in a clinic setting. Forty-two ADDH 6- to 11-year-old children participated in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design in which each child received four doses of MPH and a placebo in a randomly assigned sequence. The group results showed significant medication effects on classroom percentage of on-task behavior, academic efficiency, teacher ratings of attention, and CPT omission errors. Only percentage of on-task behavior and academic efficiency showed significant (group) dosage differences. There was a linear ,relationship between increasing dose and these classroom measures. Dose-response plots were compared for a representative subset of individual children to illustrate the idiosyncnratic and task-specific behavior exhibited across doses.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Sustained attention abilities predict objective and subjective reports of classroom behavior, academic performance, special education placement, and comorbid learning disabilities.

    “sustained attention abilities predict objective and subjective reports of classroom behavior (Brocki, Tillman, & Bohlin, 2010; Epstein et al., 2003; Rapport et al., 1987), academic performance (Molina et al., 2009; Rapport et al., 1994), special education placement, and comorbid learning disabilities (Faraone et al., 1993).”

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.
