ADHD medication improves working memory in people with ADHD.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
4 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that ADHD medication improves working memory in people with ADHD?

Unclear. Several small studies and one survey report that stimulant medication, mainly methylphenidate, improves working memory in children and youth with ADHD, but each covers only a narrow population or a single drug, and one item merely cites the effect as background. No retrieved item settles the general claim across people with ADHD.
