A 30-year-old male patient has abused amphetamines for about five years.  He wants to know what effects, if any, this has had on his cognitive abilities.  Which one of the following is likely to be a problem?

    1)    verbal memory

    2)    general intellectual functioning

    3)    executive function

    4)    attention and concentration

    5)    spatial discrimination

I think the answer is 4.

Amphetamine increases attention level in ADHD but the opposite in other people.
