Abstract
A drug group was injected interperitoneally with 10mg/kg body weight of magnesium pemoline in tragacanth and a control group received the vehicle substance only. The animals were tested on a two-alternative forced choice brightness discrimination task and an open-field test of exploratory behavior. The drug group (1) increased exploratory behavior; (2) produced superior percentage correct discrimination performance; and (3) decreased running speed. The results indicated that the drug, besides having considerable stimulant properties, enhanced learning. Also, a previous study on magnesium pemoline and discrimination learning was reanalyzed and superior discrimination was found for the drug group.
