A replication of the finding that entireties who are given Methedrine as an adjunct to conditioning treatment display more rapid conditioning was attempted with both normal and retarded Ss. The drug failed to enhance conditioning in either normal or retarded Ss. Success figures of 70% for normal Ss and 50% for retarded Ss were found.
