The study was a medication trial, of methylphenidate (0.15 mg/kg b.i.d. and 0.50 mg/kg b.i.d.). According to Barkley (1988), “Their mothers were evaluated using a double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover design, in which each drug condition lasted 7 to 10 days”. The students on higher doses were able to stay on task longer and sustain compliance with their mother’s directions. |

| Mahone, E., & Schneider, H. (2012). Assessment of Attention in Preschoolers. Neuropsychology Review, 22(4), 361. | Neuropsychology ReviewAssessment of attention in preschoolers. | The assessment discusses how inattention is common in preschool-age children. However, these symptoms are not enough to say that they have ADHD. Some preschoolers may have the disorder. Although most preschoolers are inattentive, they do not need to be diagnosed. The discussion goes on to say, “accurate identification of disordered attention in preschoolers can be challenging” & “comprehensive assessment and related functions in the preschool child should include thorough review” (Mahone, & Schneider, 2012). |
During a search in both Google Scholar and Ashford Library, there are many similarities. During both searches, you can adjust the date in which you want to search. Both search engines properly cite a reference in APA format and other versions. You can see the citations, patents, who the articles were cited by, and scholarly journals. In both searches, you can see several of the same articles with the same authors. In Google Scholar and Ashford library, some search materials require a form of payment.
In the Ashford Library, you can view peer-reviewed articles, which are available in Google Scholar. I took my research to another level and copied a reference search from one search engine to the next and vice versa. Ashford granted full access to the Journal of Autism & Developmental Disorders, while Google Scholar required a payment. The “Action Research” search is easier to find the topics rather than searching the topics alone. I have searched the topic of ADHD many times. I have not found that many journals with such validity, and what I have desired to read thus far. I found that searching requires the right words, phrases, and in the right order. Using the Action research as the terms in my search made my search more successful. I am able to focus on the topic, collect, analyze, and interpret the data better this way. I feel better prepared to form a plan for my final research plan with the four steps of Mill’s action research process (Mertler, 2017, chap. 1.1)
