Abstract
This capstone project will conduct a focused literature review on learning strategies for individuals with Attention Deficits Disorders. The project will explore various study strategies and modifications that have been found effective in improving learning outcomes for individuals with ADHD. Specifically, the project will delve into the neurobiological mechanisms underlying ADHD, focusing on how impairments in attention, executive function, and working memory might affect learning. It will also explore how specific modifications to study techniques can help mitigate these challenges and enhance learning outcomes. My interest in this topic stems from both my academic background as a teaching assistant in Anatomy and Physiology courses, where I developed supplemental learning tools, and my personal experience as a student with ADHD. Through my own educational journey, I have utilized various learning strategies to enhance my study habits and am interested in investigating how these strategies could be more widely applied and optimized for others facing similar challenges
