This study bugs me. They got 450 qualified participants, of which over 80% were scored as having ADHD (wildly out of proportion with society at large). And the test was only 6 “How often” style questions. And then it extrapolates advantages based on how shorter loiter times scored better on their game. Sus as fuck frankly.

Indeed. Not to mention this: After preprocessing, 49 individuals were excluded from final analyses for the following criteria. First, they either failed pre-defined survey attention checks or did not complete every survey. Further, participants were excluded if they completed less than 25 trials (i.e. an exploit or explore decision) throughout the session, not counting incomplete patches (see below). Why would that happen? Something to do with attention (deficit)? I’m so done with psych studies.
