- What it's testing
- Noise benefit in ADHD Auditory noise benefit: The original findings from our research group, that auditory noise enhances cognitive performance in inattentive children without diagnosis as well as children with an ADHD diagnosis, have been replicated several times (Baijot et al., 2016; Söderlund et al., 2016; Söderlund \& Nilsson Jobs, 2016; Söderlund et al., 2007). In a new study, the benefit of noise was shown to be in parity with or even larger than the benefit of pharmacological ADHD treatment on two cognitive tasks, episodic word recall and visuo-spatial working memory task.
- Time commitment: about 5 months
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug. You may not know which one you got.
