Abstract

95 Ss were presented with 2 intensities of monocular stimulation under 3 different levels of caffeine and alcohol. RT was significantly positively related to alcohol dosage but the dosage differences were small and thought to be of little behavioral significance. "Caffeine was effective in altering the size of the differences in RT to the high and low stimulus intensities." From Psyc Abstracts 36:02:2DK91C.
