A VIEWPOINT ON ' 'DRUG ENHANCEMENT' '

Abstract

Pertinent experimental literature is reviewed concerning drug enhancement of cognitive performance. Results are synthesized into a viewpoint concerning psychological mechanisms by which performance can be enhanced, with emphasis upon stressful situations. Criteria are advanced for operational distinction of tasks and/or situations where enhancement effects may be predicted for particular classes of drugs. Preliminary specifications are devised for experimental verification of parts of the theoretical framework.
