Abstract：
There is media concern over students using prescription stimulants as \"cognitive enhancers\" to try and improve their academic performance. However, there is limited evidence about the prevalence of this behaviour in the United Kingdom, or whether it has increased in recent years.
We review survey studies on students\' use of cognitive enhancers.
Overall reported use is low, with some inconclusive evidence that it is increasing. Use of modafinil appears to be higher than that of methylphenidate or dexamphetamine.
There is a clear need for large-scale research in this area, using representative sampling and survey methods that protect student anonymity.

摘要：
背景：媒体关注学生使用处方兴奋剂作为“认知增强剂”来尝试提高他们的学习成绩。然而,关于这种行为在英国盛行的证据有限，或者近年来是否有所增加。
方法：我们回顾了关于学生使用认知增强剂的调查研究。
结果：报告的总体使用量较低，一些不确定的证据表明它正在增加。莫达非尼的使用似乎高于哌醋甲酯或右旋苯丙胺。
结论：显然需要在该领域进行大规模研究，使用代表性的抽样和调查方法，保护学生的匿名性。
