Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25) was tested for its effect on arithmetic test performance. Participants completed arithmetic tests under the influence of the drug, and the results showed that LSD-25 impaired performance, leading to more errors and slower completion times compared to control conditions. The effect suggests that the drug disrupts cognitive functions related to numerical processing and concentration.
