'Clock Shock,' Motivational Enhancement, and Performance Maintenance in Adderall Use

摘要

The article by Scott Vrecko (2013) contributes toward the elucidation of a neglected issue in the debate on cognition enhancement drugs, namely, the exact nature of the effects experienced by users. In this way, the author seeks to clarify the qualitative experience and noncognitive aspects of stimulant drug use.He ultimately concludes that the debate on this matter is grounded on the erroneous assumption that enhancement deals purely with cognitive augmentation, while his investigation seemingly proves that changes of emotional states are highly significant.
