Event-related potentials during visual target detection in treatment-naïve active alcoholics.
BACKGROUND Reduced P3b event-related potentials (ERP) amplitude during visual target detection in alcoholics is a robust phenomenon. However, this finding is based primarily on samples of treated alcoholics, who comprise only about 25% of alcoholics. We studied visual target detection in a treatment-naïve alcohol-dependent sample (TNAD) versus age and gender comparable nonalcoholic controls (NA...

The control group comprised healthy volunteers. Although a loose attempt was made to match controls with patients, for reasons of sampling it is not inconceivable that the two groups differed in basal cognitive capacity. Current research strategies in the field seek to match experimental and control groups on premorbid I.Q., assessed, for example, on a vocabulary task, or using a specific tool ...

متن کاملMotor performance in detoxified alcoholics.
Detoxified male and female alcoholics (aged 20-49 years) and age-matched controls performed a series of 15-sec target-tapping tasks in which they alternatively marked two target strips with a felt marker as rapidly and as accurately as possible. Consistent with "Fitts' Law" (Fitts PM: J Exp Psych 47:381-391, 1954), a highly linear relationship between movement time and task difficulty was obser...
