Effect of d-amphetamine, ethanol and genever on learning in the rat.
The effect of oral administration of d-amphetamine (5 mg/kg), ethanol (2.5 g/kg), genever (equivalent to 2.5 g/kg ethanol) and the combinations d-amphetamine-ethanol and d-amphetamine-genever was studied on learning in the rat, using a shuttle-box in 4 sessions at 24 hr intervals. Acquisition was significantly favored by all treatments, being more constant in the 4 sessions when combinations d-amphetamine-ethanol and d-amphetamine-genever were administered.
