It's a small study and the "knapsack task" probably does not generalize to writing a paper or coding or something. Far from dispositive.

Utter bullshit engineered to convince students not to do drugs. Adderall doesn't make you magically better at solving the knapsack problem, it's not NZT-48 from Limitless. That's not why anyone takes it.
