| Popis: | We examined the artwork of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to identify any changes produced by methylphenidate (MPH). Seven children diagnosed with ADHD were examined under double-blind, placebo-controlled conditions in the context of a clinical assessment of their responsiveness to medication (MPH). These children's artwork tended to use more page space and show a more expansive style on placebo and baseline compared to performance on test sessions after stimulant medication. Some children on MPH may experience cognitive constriction, manifested in drawings, that occurs at higher doses. More work is needed to understand the frequency and with whom this occurs. |
