Pre-and post-trial application of 0.15 mg/kg nicotine had, quantitatively and qualitatively, a very similar effect on the Hebb-Williams-test performance of rats. The performance of both treated groups, was for some of the problems of the second half of the test (composed of 12 problems), better than that of the control group. This result suggests a beneficial effect of nicotine on higher integrative functions. The irregularity of the effect from problem to problem of the test was discussed as a consequence of the structural differences between the problems of the test.
