Clinical Trial Summary

We propose to evaluate the interaction between expectations of receiving stimulants, neurophysiological activity and enhancement of cognitive performance using fMRI.


Clinical Trial Description

Participants will then be randomized in a balanced placebo design (BPD) crossing medication (10 mg of mixed amphetamine salts vs placebo) and expectancy (told active medication vs placebo medication), resulting in 4 different conditions 1) mixed amphetamine salts/told stimulant medication; 2) placebo/told stimulant medication; 3) mixed amphetamine salts/told placebo; and 4) placebo/told placebo). Participants will be assigned to four scanning sessions scheduled one week apart and will experience each condition once counterbalanced across participants. Participants will be administered cognitive tasks in and out of the scanner to determine the effects of medication vs expectancy. ;
