When used at low (therapeutic) doses, amphetamine produces modest improvements in cognition performance, including working memory, long-term episodic memory, inhibitory control, and some aspects of attention, in adults A systematic review found that low doses of amphetamine also improve memory consolidation, in turn leading to improved recall of information.

Amphetamine and other ADHD stimulants also improve task saliency (motivation to perform a task) and increase wakefulness, in turn promoting goal-directed behavior.

Stimulants such as amphetamine can improve performance on difficult and boring tasks and are used by some as a study and test-taking aid ADHD stimulants, which are primarily used for enhancement of academic performance rather than as recreational drugs. However, high amphetamine doses that are above the therapeutic range can interfere with working memory and other aspects of cognitive control.
