| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to determine whether stimulant-medicated adult college students with ADHD outperformed non-stimulant medicated students on neuropsychological and academic measures. A convenience sample of 33 college students with ADHD volunteered to take two neuropsychological assessments designed to measure executive functioning: The Test of Variables of Attention (T.O.V.A.) and the Kaufman Short Neuropsychological Assessment Procedure (K-SNAP). Participants’ academic functioning was assessed by completion of an ADHD Indicator Survey/Questionnaire, requiring disclosure of cumulative Grade Point Average (G.P.A.) Statistical analysis of scores on the measures indicated that there is not a significant difference between the executive and academic functioning of stimulant-medicated and non-stimulant medicated ADHD college students as indicated by T.O.V.A. and K-SNAP scores. There also was not a significant difference between the cumulative G.P.A. of stimulant-medicated and non-stimulant medicated students. However, there was a weak positive relationship between T.O.V.A. scores and self-reported cumulative G.P.A. |
