The present invention provides a novel method of enhancing learning and/or memory in warm blooded animals. This is accomplished by administering an effective amount to enhance the ability of the animal to learn tasks, or to enhance the ability of the animal to memorize information of at least one ethereally monosubstituted monosaccharide having the general formula S.sub.1 --O--Y, and/or at least one ethereal monosubstitution of monosaccharide derivatives having the general formula S.sub.2 -- O--Y, and/or organic acid and inorganic acid salts thereof as defined hereinafter. The warm blooded animal is subjected to an environment wherein it is required to learn tasks and/or memorize information and it is capable of learning tasks and memorizing informaton at markedly increased rates.
