TL;DR: A modified Berlyne Box was used to obtain independent measures of locomotor activity and exploration of novel stimuli in the same situation and drug-induced response incompatibility was found to be compatible in undrugged animals.
Abstract: A modified Berlyne Box was used to obtain independent measures of locomotor activity and exploration of novel stimuli in the same situation. 1.5 mg/kg of d-amphetamine was found to stimulate locomotor activity and decrease exploratory behaviour when compared with a control group. These behaviours were found to be compatible in undrugged animals when distributed over the 10 min trial. The results are discussed in terms of drug-induced response incompatibility rather than with recourse to motivational explanations.

TL;DR: D-AMPHETAMINE produces deficits on many tasks where it is appropriate to withhold responding and decreased discriminative sensitivity to sensory clues or an inability to control responses could underlie this effect.
Abstract: D-AMPHETAMINE produces deficits on many tasks where it is appropriate to withhold responding1–5. Decreased discriminative sensitivity to sensory clues or an inability to control responses (or both of these), could underlie this effect.
