n their lifetime. This fact compared to the number of students that participated, can limit the accuracy of the results collected. Critique and Suggestion: This study was not very effective in determining the connection that MDMA has on memory. One problem with the study includes how there were only two groups being studied. One group was participants that have used at least once, and those who have never used MDMA before. The classification for the study that was conducted needed to be more detailed so there was a distinction between participants that are non MDMA users, and those that used it once in a while, and those that are regular users. This would significantly change the result that was received because it would give it a better balance and would support the prediction that were made before the study was conducted. In the future when the participants are given questioners that would classified them as users or not, another question should be asked if they are user to state number of times used. The result could be grouped in the number of usage of MDMA and analyzed to give the study a favorable result that would back up the other studies that were conducted. The second problem with the study was that there was only a single trial of word recall task. The study should have not based their result in one memory based trial. If there were at least two or three-targeted word then the results would have been large and could have been compared between the different recalls that the participants wrote down. The result would have been different, because the more information that the study receives the better and more reliable that result becomes. Which in turn would have supported the two articles that related to the study. The third problem with the study was it failed to determine if other drugs that also impair memory were used with ecstasy. To make the study only exclusive to MDMA it should be taken to consideration if other drug...
