Methylphenidate in Hyperkinetic Children: Differences in Dose Effects on Impulsive Behavior.

Brown, Ronald T.; Sleator, Esther K.

Pediatrics, v64 n4 p408-11 Oct 1979

The study tested the hypothesis that in 11 hyperactive children (7 to 13 years old) a low dose of methylphenidate would produce scores superior to those with a high dose or placebo on the matching familiar figures test (MFF), a primary index of impulsivity.
