Researchers have found that state-dependent learning is associated with
the administration of a wide variety of drugs. Recent data suggest that
similar phenomena may occur secondary to endogenous changes in

changes in cognitive processing strategies and abilities should help to
further our understanding of the phenomenology of psychiatric states and
should generate psychotherapeutic techniques designed to maximize the
transfer of information across psychiatric states.Abstract Teaser
