[Opioid dependence and word learning].
We study the influence of the drug use story of polydrug users which use heroin as a principal drug in learning a new material. We assess the learning of a list of words in 31 heroin users and we compare their performance with a group of 31 non drug users with the same personal and sociocultural characteristics. The obtained results show an impairment in the performance of drug users which not depend of the length of addiction, abstinence, and either the presence of a polydrug use.
