It does. Intelligence is the capacity for learning potential and cocaine boosts the ability to retain and process learned sensory matter, even when sleepy. That is really the greatest appeal of that drug. Again, I strongly do not recommend reliance on any stimulants, especially powerful ones like cocaine.
- eightysixfour 2y agoInteresting can you cite a source? I found this: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2096405/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2096405/ which shows a consistent improvement in tests, but the performance increase was only 4%. I'd be willing to guess that the improvement would be higher when sleepy/fatigued (up to a point!) since it would increase the alertness of the user, but I have never seen anything that suggests cocaine boosts the ability to retain information.
- zhengyi13 2y agoAnecdata here, but I met a person in university in the 90s who claimed: 1) they had access to really, really pure cocaine, and 2) they used it to study for tests. If I recall correctly, they were only using cocaine for the studying, not the test taking, and that they had good recall on tests.
