Sutcliffe, Paul A., et al. "Effect of Attentional State on Frequency Discrimination: A Comparison of Children With ADHD On and Off Medication." Journal of Speech, Language & Hearing Research 49.5 (2006): 1072-1084. Academic Search Complete. EBSCO. Web. 8 Nov. 2010. This is journal article examines the difference between children with ADHD on and off medication. The researchers ran a test that judged the children's auditory awareness. The researchers tested both kids with ADHD and kids without ADHD. The results showed that children with ADHD performed much worse without the stimulant medication than the children without ADHD. This shows that auditory awareness can directly be influenced by the attention status of children who have ADHD.
