目前几乎没有关于对认知增强的态度的经验信息-使用药物来增强正常的大脑功能。据称，这种行为最常发生在学生身上，以帮助学习。我们进行了定性评估的态度认知增强进行了19个半结构化的采访，澳大利亚大学生。大多数学生认为认知增强是不可接受的，部分原因是他们认为这是不道德的，但对于它与体育运动中使用类固醇是否相似或不同缺乏共识。人们支持提高认识运动和监测药物的认知增强使用情况。了解学生对认知增强的态度对制定未来的政策很重要。
There is currently little empirical information about attitudes towards cognitive enhancement - the use of pharmaceutical drugs to enhance normal brain functioning. It is claimed this behaviour most commonly occurs in students to aid studying. We undertook a qualitative assessment of attitudes towards cognitive enhancement by conducting 19 semi-structured interviews with Australian university students. Most students considered cognitive enhancement to be unacceptable, in part because they believed it to be unethical but there was a lack of consensus on whether it was similar or different to steroid use in sport. There was support for awareness campaigns and monitoring of cognitive enhancement use of pharmaceutical drugs. An understanding of student attitudes towards cognitive enhancement is important in formulating future policy.
