Summary
AI-generated from the abstractLysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25) was administered to participants to examine its effect on recall and recognition of various stimuli. The results indicated that the drug impaired both recall and recognition performance compared to a control condition. The magnitude of the impairment varied depending on the type of stimulus material, with some stimuli showing more pronounced deficits. The authors suggest that LSD-25 disrupts memory processes, particularly in tasks requiring retrieval of previously presented information.
