Subjects were tested twice within the first 3 weeks of detoxification in order to assess the potential recovery of visual performa...
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...

متن کاملHand movement speed and accuracy in detoxified alcoholics.
Detoxified alcoholics (n = 192) were found to be 9.3% slower than age-matched controls (n = 112) with regard to the composite speed (movement time, MT) with which they were able to strike targets of various sizes and distances with a hand-held stylus at onset of a light stimulus (Fitts's Task). Females (n = 102) were 8% slower than males (n = 202), and blacks (n = 103) about 15.6% slower than w...
متن کاملSodium sensitivity of blood pressure in long-term detoxified alcoholics.
To investigate whether sodium sensitivity of blood pressure participates in the relationship of arterial hypertension to chronic alcohol consumption, 30 alcoholics detoxified from 6 to 12 months and 30 teetotaler controls underwent a dietary sodium manipulation study. They received a daily 55 mmol sodium diet for 7 days, followed by a 260 mmol sodium diet for 7 days. Changes in 24-hour urinary ...
