Abstract
Administration time was varied in an attempt to assess effects of magnesium pemoline on avoidance performance. Advance injections enhanced avoidance performance more than immediate injections, suggesting that facilitation of performance was due to either pemoline’s stimulant action and/or to the fact that drug action is delayed.
