drag each item on the left to its matching item on the right.
increased sociability
psychotic behavior
impairment of memory formation
a feeling of energy and confidence
a feeling of relaxation and contentedness
long - term effect of habitual use
neither
short - term effect

Explanation:

• Short - term effects of cocaine typically include immediate psychological and physiological changes. A feeling of energy and confidence, and increased sociability are immediate effects that occur shortly after using cocaine.
• Long - term effects of habitual cocaine use are the consequences of repeated use over time. Psychotic behavior and impairment of memory formation are known to be long - term effects as they develop with chronic use.
• A feeling of relaxation and contentedness is not a typical effect of cocaine (cocaine is a stimulant, and relaxation is more associated with depressants or other substances), so it is categorized as neither.

Answer:

• long - term effect of habitual use: psychotic behavior, impairment of memory formation
• neither: a feeling of relaxation and contentedness
• short - term effect: increased sociability, a feeling of energy and confidence
