Here are the steps I would take to design a valid experiment to test this hypothesis:
1. Randomly select and assign participants diagnosed with ADD to either the experimental group (given 20mg Adderall) or the control group (given placebo).
2. Use double-blind procedures so neither participants nor experimenters know who receives Adderall vs placebo.
3. Have all participants complete a focus time task both before and after taking the assigned pill to control for individual differences and measure any within-subject changes.
4. Use a standardized focus time task and measure focus time objectively (e.g. time on task) to reduce observer bias.
5. Ensure groups are equivalent on relevant demographic variables

Educational psychology is the branch of psychology that studies how people learn in educational settings, both in and out of school. It aims to apply psychological insights and principles to understand and improve educational practice. Some key areas it covers are understanding learners, selecting learning experiences, teaching techniques and strategies, creating effective learning environments, and evaluating learning outcomes. It provides a scientific basis and practical guidance to help learners acquire knowledge and skills through satisfactory educational experiences.
Psychology uses various scientific methods to study human behavior and mental processes, including introspection, observation, experimentation, clinical case studies, surveys, correlation analysis, and psychological testing. Introspection involves self-observation but lacks objectivity, while observation allows objective study of behavior in natural settings but cannot verify private experiences. Experimental methods use controlled manipulation of variables to establish cause-and-effect, but not all problems are suitable. Clinical case studies provide rich qualitative data on individuals but lack generalizability. Surveys assess attitudes and opinions from large populations. Correlation analysis measures relationships between variables. Psychological testing provides standardized measures of traits, abilities, and diagnoses. Together these methods advance understanding, prediction, and solutions to human problems.

3. Philosophical Developments
• A Question: How are
mind and body related?
• RenéDescartes (1596–1650)—
Interactive dualism
• The mind and body interact to produce
conscious experience
4. Philosophical Developments
Another Question: Nature vs. Nurture
• Are abilities determined by our genes or
our experiences?
• What are the interactions between
genetics and environment?
• What effect does it have on behavior?
5. Foundations of Modern Psychology
• Separated from philosophy in 19th century
– influences from physiology remain
• Wilhelm Wundt (1832–1920)
– Leipzig, Germany
– established first psychology research laboratory
– applied laboratory techniques to study of the mind
• Edward Titchener (1867–1927) Wundt’s student,
professor at Cornell University
– developed approach called structuralism—involving
introspection and studying basic components of
conscious experiences.
• focused on basic sensory and perceptual processes
• measured reaction times
7. Other Pioneers
• William James (1842–1910)
– started psychology at Harvard in 1870s
– opposed Wundt and Titchener’s approach
– his ideas shaped school of functionalism – also
influenced by Darwin to focus on how behaviors
help us adapt to the environment
• Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
– Austrian physician that focused on illness
– psychoanalytic theory of mental disorders
9. Schools of Psychology
• Psychoanalysis—personality theory and
form of psychotherapy that emphasizes
the role of unconscious factors in
personality and behavior
• Behaviorism—emphasizes the study of
observable behaviors, especially as they
pertain to the process of learning
• Humanistic—emphasizes each person’s
unique potential for psychological growth
and self-direction
10. Key Influences in the Development of
Behaviorism
• Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936)
– Behaviorism grew out of his work with dogs
associating a neutral stimulus with an
automatic behavior
• John B. Watson (1878–1958)
– psychologists should study overt behavior
• B. F. Skinner (1904–1990)
– American psychologist at Harvard
– studied learning and effect of reinforcement
– behaviorism
14. Perspectives
• Perspective is a way of viewing phenomena
• Psychology has multiple perspectives
– Biological
– Psychodynamic
– Behavioral
– Humanistic
– Positive Psychology
– Cognitive
– Cross-Cultural
– Evolutionary
15. Biological Perspective
• Study the physiological mechanisms in the
brain and nervous system that organize and
control behavior
• Focus may be at various levels
– individual neurons
– areas of the brain
– specific functions like eating, emotion, or learning
• Interest in behavior distinguishes biological
psychology from many other biological
sciences
16. Psychodynamic Perspective
• View of behavior based on experience treating patients
• Psychoanalytic approach (Sigmund Freud)
– both a method of treatment and a theory of the mind
– behavior reflects combinations of conscious and
unconscious influences
– drives and urges within the unconscious component
of mind influence thought and behavior
– early childhood experiences shape unconscious
motivations
17. Behavioral Perspective
• View of behavior based on
experience or learning
–Classical conditioning
–Operant conditioning
18. Humanistic Perspective
• Developed by Abraham Maslow and Carl
Rogers
– behavior reflects innate ‘actualization’
– focus on conscious forces and self
perception
– more positive view of basic forces than
Freud’s
20. Cognitive Perspective
• How is knowledge acquired, organized,
remembered, and used to guide
behavior?
• Influences include
– Piaget – studied intellectual development
– Chomsky – studied language
– Cybernetics – science of information processing
21. Cross-Cultural Perspective
• The study of cultural effects on behavior and
mental processes
• The study of psychological differences
among people living in different cultural
groups
• How are people’s thoughts, feelings and
behavior influenced by their culture?
• What are the common elements across
culture? Are these innate?
22. Other Cultural Terms
• Ethnocentrism—the belief that one’s own
culture or ethnic group is superior to all others,
and the related tendency to use one’s own
culture as a standard by which to judge other
cultures.
• Individualistic cultures—those that emphasize
the needs and goals of the individual over the
needs and goals of the group
• Collectivistic culture—those that emphasize the
needs and goals of the group over the needs
and goals of the individual
23. Evolutionary Perspective
• Influenced by Darwin and the emphasis on
innate, adaptive behavior patterns
• Application of principles of evolution to
explain behavior and psychological
processes
24. Specialty Areas in Psychology
• Biological
• Clinical
• Cognitive
• Counseling
• Educational
• Experimental
• Developmental
• Forensic
• Health
• Industrial/organizational
• Personality
• Rehabilitation
• Social
• Sports
25. Similarities and Differences between
clinical psychologists and psychiatrists
• Both trained in the diagnosis, treatment,
causes, and prevention of psychological
disorders
• Clinical psychologists receive doctorate
(Ph.D. or Psy.D.)
• Psychiatrists receive a medical degree (M.D.
or D.O.) followed by years of specialized
training in treatment of mental disorders
29. Psychology should study how behavior and
mental processes allow organisms to adapt to
their environments.
School/Approach Evolutionary perspective
Founder Charles Darwin
30. Psychology should emphasize people’s unique
potential for psychological growth.
School/Approach Humanistic
Founder Maslow
31. Psychology should only study observable behavior.
School/Approach Behaviorism
Founder Watson/Skinner
32. Goals of Psychology
• Describe
• Explain
• Predict
• Control
behaviorial and mental processes
33. Scientific Method
• Formulate testable questions
– Develop hypotheses
• Design study to collect data
– Experimental
– Descriptive
• Analyze data to arrive at conclusions
– Use of statistical procedures
– Use of meta-analysis
• Report results
– Publication
– Replication
34. Definitions
• Empirical evidence—based upon objective
observation, measurement, and/or
experimentation
• Hypothesis—tentative statement about the
relationship between variables
• Variables—factors that can vary in ways
that can be observed, measured, and
verified (independent versus dependent)
• Operational definition—precise description
of how the variables will be measured
36. Theory
• Tentative explanation for observed
findings
• Results from accumulation of findings
of individual studies
• Tool for explaining observed behavior
• Reflects self-correcting nature of
scientific method.
37. Research Strategies
• Descriptive—strategies for observing and
describing behavior
– Naturalistic observation
– Case studies
– Surveys
– Correlational methods
• Experimental—strategies for inferring
cause and effect relationships among
variables
38. Descriptive Study
• Describes a set of facts
• Does not look for relationships between facts
• Does not predict what may influence the facts
• May or may not include numerical data
• Example: measure the percentage of new
students from out-of-state each year since
1980
39. Naturalistic Observation
Researchers directly observe and
record behavior rather than relying
on subject descriptions. In naturalistic
observation researcher records
behavior as it occurs naturally.
40. Case Study Method
• Highly detailed description of a single
individual
• Generally used to investigate rare,
unusual, or extreme conditions
41. Survey Methods
Designed to investigate opinions,
behaviors, or characteristics of a
particular group. Usually in self-report
form.
42. Samples and Sampling
• Population—large (potentially infinite)
group represented by the sample.
Findings are generalized to this group.
• Sample—selected segment of the
population
• Representative sample—closely parallels
the population on relevant characteristics
• Random selection—every member of
larger group has equal change of being
selected for the study sample
43. Correlational Study
• Collects a set of facts organized into two or
more categories
– measure parents’ disciplinary style
– measure children’s behavior
• Examine the relationship between
categories
• Correlation reveals relationships among
facts
– e.g., more democratic parents have children who
behave better
44. Correlational Study
• Correlation cannot prove causation
– Do democratic parents produce better behaved
children?
– Do better behaved children encourage parents to
be democratic?
• May be an unmeasured common factor
– e.g., good neighborhoods produce democratic
adults and well-behaved children
45. Coefficient of Correlation
Numerical indication of magnitude and
direction of the relationship between
two variables
– Positive correlation—two variables vary
systematically in the SAME direction
– Negative correlation—two variables vary
systematically in OPPOSITE directions
46. Experiments
• Direct way to test a hypothesis about
a cause-effect relationship between
factors
• Factors are called variables
• One variable is controlled by the
experimenter
– e.g., democratic vs. authoritarian classroom
• The other is observed and measured
– e.g., cooperative behavior among students
47. Experimental Variables
• Independent variable (IV)
– the controlled factor in an experiment (i.e.
the one you manipulate)
– hypothesized to cause an effect on
another variable
• Dependent variable (DV)
– the measured facts
– hypothesized to be influenced by IV
48. Independent Variable
• Must have at least two levels
– categories – male vs. female
– numeric – ages 10, 12, 14
• Simplest is experimental vs. control
group
– experimental gets treatment
– control does not
49. Experimental Design
• Random sample—every member of the
population being studied should have an equal
chance of being selected for the study
• Random assignment—every subject in the
study should have an equal chance of being
placed in either the experimental or control
group
• Randomization helps avoid false results
50. Sources of Bias
• Expectancy effects—change in DV
produced by subject’s expectancy that
change should happen
• Demand characteristics—subtle cues or
signals by the researcher that
communicate type of responses that are
expected
51. Control of Bias
• Placebo control group—exposed to a fake
IV (placebo), the effects of which are
compared to group receiving the actual IV
• Double-blind study—technique in which
neither the experimenter nor participant is
aware of the group to which participant is
assigned
52. Limitations of Experimental
Designs
• Often criticized for having little to do
with actual behavior because of strict
laboratory conditions
• Ethical considerations in creating
some more “real life” situations
53. Ethical Guidelines
• Informed consent and voluntary
participation
• Students as participants
• Use of deception
• Confidentiality of information
• Information about the study and
debriefing
54. Using Brain Imaging in
Psychological Research
Used for both descriptive and experimental
research (Henson, 2005).
Types:
• Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
• Functional MRI (fMRI)
55. Using Animals in Psychological
Research
• 90% of psychology research actually uses
humans, not animals, as subjects
• Many psychologists are interested in the
study of animal behavior for its own sake
(comparative psychology)
• Animal subjects are sometimes used for
research that could not feasibly be
conducted on human subjects
56. Evaluating Media Reports
• Be skeptical of sensationalist claims.
• Goal of “shock” media is ratings.
• Look for original sources.
• Separate opinion from data.
• Consider methodology and
operational definitions.
• Correlation is not causality.
• Skepticism is the rule in science.
