title: [Double-blind comparative study of lorazepam and tiapride effects on the memory capacities of subjects over 60 years of age].
abstract: The authors' purpose was to confirm their hypotheses based on their prior study of the effect of tiapride and lorazepam on memorizing capacities of patients over sixty years of age. The results of a two weeks, double-blind trial show that tiapride, in addition to its sedative action, produces disinhibition and enhances wakefulness, thereby improving memory performances in the elderly.
