Ecstasy (MDMA) and memory function: a meta‐analytic update
@article{Laws2007EcstasyA, title={Ecstasy (MDMA) and memory function: a meta‐analytic update}, author={Keith R. Laws and Joy Kokkalis}, journal={Human Psychopharmacology: Clinical and Experimental}, year={2007}, volume={22} }
A meta‐analysis was conducted to examine the impact of recreational ecstasy use on short‐term memory (STM), long‐term memory (LTM), verbal and visual memory. We located 26 studies containing memory data for ecstasy and non‐ecstasy users from which effect sizes could be derived. The analyses provided measures of STM and LTM in 610 and 439 ecstasy users and revealed moderate‐to‐large effect sizes (Cohen's d) of d = −0.63 and d = −0.87, respectively. The difference between STM versus LTM was non…

Differential Effects of Ecstasy on Short-Term and Working Memory: A Meta-Analysis
- Psychology, BiologyNeuropsychology Review
- 2009
The current meta-analysis adds to the literature by showing that ecstasy use in humans is also associated with impaired working memory, and that this impairment is related to total lifetime ecstasy consumption.

- PsychologyJournal of clinical and experimental neuropsychology

Results showed a significant group by ProM delay interaction, such that Ecstasy users performed comparably to the comparison groups on short-delay trials, but were impaired on long-delay ProM, particularly for time-based cues.

Past year ecstasy consumption was associated with verbal memory retrieval, retention, and discrimination deficits in a dose-dependent manner in a sample of healthy young adult polydrug users.

Tests of verbal learning and memory have frequently been used to examine memory performance in frequent 3,4-methylendioxymethamphetamine (“ecstasy”) consumers, and meta-analyses have identified…
Verbal Memory Impairment in Polydrug Ecstasy Users: A Clinical Perspective
- Psychology, MedicinePloS one
- 2016
The combination of the acute and long-term findings demonstrates that, while clinically relevant memory impairment is present during intoxication, it is absent during abstinence, which suggests that use of Ecstasy/MDMA does not lead to clinically deficient memory performance in the long term.

Long-term neuropsychological effects of ecstasy in middle-aged ecstasy/polydrug users
- PsychologyPsychopharmacology
- 2009
This study in middle-aged ecstasy/polydrug users replicated findings of studies in younger ecstasy users, showing a harmful effect of ecstasy on verbal memory and there was no clear support for an interaction between harmful effects of ecstasy use and age-related memory decline or mid-life depression.
5-HTTLPR Genotype Moderates the Effects of Past Ecstasy Use on Verbal Memory Performance in Adolescent and Emerging Adults: A Pilot Study
- PsychologyPloS one
- 2015
5-HTTLPR genotype moderated the effects of ecstasy on verbal memory, with L/L carriers performing worse compared to controls, and future research should continue to examine individual differences in ecstasy’s impact on neurocognitive performance as well as relationships with neuronal structure.

Specific memory deficits in ecstasy users? The results of a meta‐analysis

It is suggested that ecstasy use does not decrease LTM, but the number of studies on which this conclusion is based was very low, and no support for a linear relationship between the mean ES values and TLEC is found.
Differential effects of Ecstasy and cannabis on self‐reports of memory ability: a web‐based study
- PsychologyHuman psychopharmacology
- 2001
It was found that cannabis was associated with reports of ‘here‐and‐now’ cognitive problems in short‐term and internally cued prospective memory, and Ecstasy was associatedWith reports of long‐term memory problems, which were more related to storage and retrieval difficulties.
Prospective memory, everyday cognitive failure and central executive function in recreational users of Ecstasy

The three studies reported here suggest that Ecstasy users have impaired PM that cannot be explained by an increased propensity to exaggerate cognitive failures, and may be attributable, in part, to central executive deficits that are due to frontal lobe damage associated with Ecstasy use.

Prospective memory impairment in abstinent MDMA ("Ecstasy") users
- PsychologyCognitive neuropsychiatry

The results of this study indicate that the ability to recall a future appointment may be related to the frequency of MDMA use and the absolute number of times MDMA was used, and the relation between the neurotransmitter serotonin and the component processes of memory is investigated.
Chronic MDMA (ecstasy) use, cognition and mood

These results suggest that MDMA users exhibit difficulties in coding information into long-term memory, display impaired verbal learning, are more easily distracted, and are less efficient at focusing attention on complex tasks.
Memory deficits associated with recreational use of “ecstasy” (MDMA)
- PsychologyPsychopharmacology
- 1999
The present findings provide the first evidence that deficits in memory performance in recreational ecstasy users are primarily associated with past exposure to ecstasy, rather than with the other legal and illicit drugs consumed by these individuals, and are consistent with reduced serotonergic modulation of mnemonic function as a result of long-term neurotoxic effects of MDMA in humans.

Users were unimpaired on a simple spatial span measure suggesting that the deficits observed reflected the executive aspects of the spatialWorking memory task, and statistical controls for measures of verbal working memory performance (computation span) removed half of the ecstasy‐related variance in spatial working memory.

This study does not show memory impairment in a group of ecstasy users relative to cannabis using controls, and may indicate a confounding role of cannabis use, as has been recently reported.
