cognitive enhancement drug
pharmaceutical substances claimed to improve mental performance, such as focus, concentration, memory or motivation, and the acquisition of motor skills or affective skills, such as dealing with anxiety associated with performing certain work tasks, or promoting feelings of trust and affiliation
The use of drugs for non-medical reasons as cognitive enhancers is starting to spread and become normalised among students and certain groups of workers. In the context of increasingly competitive society and working environment the use of these performance-enhancing drugs is expected to grow in the future while the long-term consequences are still unknown.
