> This study seems to say that these drugs don't change how you think (i.e., somehow improving the effectiveness of the thought process) but what to think about; what's most important, or not. Consider that most people who are diagnosed with ADHD (especially if it was in adulthood) are well aware on the metacognitive level that they should think in terms of the benefits of work and its importance, and they do want to. Their problem is a difficulty to actively decide to think in those terms when it truly matters, in practical day-to-day life. So stimulants do indeed change how they think, improving the effectiveness of their desired thought process.
