A single dose of LSD lowered anxiety and reduced dogmatism and projection of aggression in normal adults one week later, compared with a control group. The study involved 15 experimental and 14 comparison subjects, mostly professional research personnel. No gains were found in tests of fluency, flexibility, or originality beyond what practice alone produced. Attempts to replicate earlier findings on word-association changes after LSD were inconclusive due to differences between subject samples.
