ABSTRACT
A new and easy method to demonstrate different
degrees of facility for learning and retention within the same strain of
laboratory mice is described. According to this method, it is possible to
divide the general population into given percentage of "good
learners" and "poor learners". These two subpopulations react
differently to the influence of several psychoactive drugs. In this study it
is shown that pyritinol contributes to retention of the learned task in
poor learners and has no effect on good learners.
