TL;DR
Evaluated dose-response by time-response characteristics of pemoline (Cylert) on dependent measures of behavior and academic performance in a laboratory classroom contrasted with widespread misbeliefs regarding pem Caroline's time course and efficacy.
Abstract
Results are contrasted with widespread misbeliefs regarding pemoline's time course and efficacy.

Although group analyses of the data showed that both drugs were effective and there were few differences between them, standard methylphenidate was superior to SR-20 on several important measures of disruptive behavior and analyses of individual responsivity showed clearly that most boys responded more positively to standardethylphenidate than toSR-20.

One major difference between drugs was the apparently longer action of pemoline, since its effects at home and school tended to persist when the drug was withdrawn, whereas the patients receiving methylphenidate tended to regress to their baseline levels.
