“…In the PSAP procedure, the rate of monetary reinforced responding changes in the expected directions when CNS stimulants and depressants are administered. Monetary reinforced responding was increased following nicotine/tobacco, d-amphetamine and caffeine and decreased following alcohol, diazepam and secobarbital (Cherek 1981;Cherek et al 1983Cherek et al , 1985Cherek et al , 1986Cherek et al , 1989Cherek et al , 1990. Because the acute administration of d,l-fenfluramine resulted in a small stimulant effect on the rate of monetary reinforced responding, the significant decreases in both aggressive and impulsive responses cannot be attributed to a non-specific sedative action of d,l-fenfluramine.…”

“…Following a 30-rain absorption period to allow caffeine to reach peak blood plasma levels after oral administration (Gilbert 1976;Smith et al 1981), the subject was tested on the recall task. The 30-min latency period was also followed by Cherek et al (1983), Gupta (1988a, b) and Gupta and Gupta (1990). The experimental session began at 9.00 A.M.…”

The effects of caffeine on free recall after acquisition on semantic and rhyming tasks were examined. Following a between-subjects design, high and low impulsive male postgraduate students were administered placebo and four doses of caffeine citrate (1, 2, 3 and 4 mg/kg body weight) in a laboratory situation. A double blind procedure was adopted for drug administration. The study supports the following conclusions: (1) under no drug condition, high impulsives recall more after semantic acquisition while their counterparts, the low impulsives, recall more after rhyming acquisition; (2) caffeine facilitates recall in high impulsives after rhyming acquisition but hinders it after semantic acquisition; (3) caffeine does not reliably influence recall of low impulsives.

“…The administration of the 10 mg/70 kg d-amphetamine dose resulted in statistically significant increases in the number of aggressive responses. Previous research utilizing this paradigm has indicated that the administration of other CNS stimulant drugs (nicotine and caffeine) either had no effect or decreased aggressive responses (Cherek 1981 ;Cherek et al 1983Cherek et al , 1984a. Besides the pharmacological properties of the drugs themselves, one major difference is that, in the nicotine and caffeine studies, all subjects had a long history of nicotine and caffeine self-administration.…”

“…Aggressive responding is engendered by subtracting points from the research subject which are attributed to the fictitious partner. This methodology has been found to be sensitive to the effects of smoking different doses of nicotine and the oral administration of alcohol, caffeine and coffee (Cherek 1981 ;Cherek et al 1983Cherek et al , 1984aCherek et al , 1984b. The present study employed this methodology to assess the effects of low doses of d-amphetamine on human aggessive responding.…”

Male research subjects were administered placebo and three doses of d-amphetamine (5, 10 and 20 mg/70 kg) in a laboratory situation which provided both aggressive and non-aggressive response options. The non-aggressive response was button pressing maintained by presentation of points exchangeable for money at the end of the session. The aggressive response was button pressing on a separate manipulanda which ostensibly subtracted points from a fictitious partner. Aggressive responding was elicited by subtracting points from the research subjects which was attributed to the fictitious partner. d-Amphetamine increased both aggressive and non-aggressive responding, particularly at 5 and 10 mg/70 kg. At the highest dose (20 mg/70 kg), aggressive responding decreased to levels similar to those observed during placebo sessions, while monetary reinforced responding remained elevated.
