Abstract
The performance characteristics of 4 computerized psychological tests were studied using alcohol as a model compound. Subjects received alcohol (0.5 ml/kg) or placebo in a cross-over design and performance was assessed using the Simple Reaction Time test, the Switching Attention test, the Hand/Eye Coordination test and the Color-Word Vigilance test. Analyses indicated an overall significant effect of alcohol at blood-alcohol levels of 0.03% with response speed on the Color-Word Vigilance test being the most sensitive parameter. Chemicals/CAS: alcohol, 64-17-5; Ethanol, 64-17-5
