Russell A. Barkley博士，是一位在多动症领域的权威学者，是美国查理斯敦市南卡罗来纳医科大学精神病学和儿童科的临床教授；曾荣获美国儿科学会和美国心理学会的多个奖项。Barkley博士不仅写过很多专业书籍，还写过很多大众畅销书，如《十步搞定叛逆青少年》（Your defiant teen）等。他经常在世界各地给家长们讲座。他与儿童和家庭开展的工作已有35年之久。他的个人网站是www.russellbarkley.org。
举例来说，纽约大学医学院的 Howard Abikoff士和他的同事在10年前确定，患有多动症的青少年，相比于在没有音乐的背景下，在听摇滚乐时他们可以更好地完成数学作业。这再一次表明，一些刺激可以帮助多动症儿童更好地集中注意力以及控制他们的注意力持续。
回到我在这个部分的观点，明确地说，我们需要增加多动症孩子被要求做的事情的新奇度、刺激感和有趣性。相对于给予他们延迟的满足，我们可以明确地指出他们完成任务后可以即时得到某个特定想要的奖励或者结果。我们也可以把任务分割成更小的部分，让多动症孩子在完成任务的过程中得到更频繁的休息。当然，当孩子在做事情时，移走他们周边的那些高吸引力的、有趣的或者非常显著的刺激物也是一个好主意。但是就像上述信息指出的那样，这不应当是你做的唯一的事情：增加趣味性或者让任务的结果更有趣也是非常重要的 (查看原文)
