State-Department and Main Effects of Methylphenidate and Pemoline on Paired-Associate Learning and Spelling in Hyperactive Children.

Stephens, Robert S.; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v52 n1 p104-13 Feb 1984

Compared the effects of methylphenidate, pemoline, and a placebo on learning and retention in 36 hyperactive children. Results showed both methylphenidate and pemoline improved learning and relearning performance on spelling and produced a similar but less clear enhancement of learning on the paired-associate learning task.
