Psychopharmacology and reaction time

Pharmacosensitivity of the simple reaction time test compared with other speed loaded psychometric tasks the evaluation of drug effects in laboratory tasks two experimental approaches to specifying drug effects physiological and subjective state versus information processing age-related visual information processing in tasks of different complexity age-related automatic versus controlled visual search some boundary conditions of choice-reaction performance some comments on the use of information processing rate as an index of change and individual differences in performance reaction time with distractors some possibilities for drug assessment the effects of time of day, age and anxiety on a choice reaction task relative advantages and disadvantages of various performance measures in the assessment of psychotropic drug effects localization in the stimulus and response-contingent brain post ingestion effects of benzodiazepines in evoked potentials and reaction times in discrimination tasks visual evoked potentials and reaction times to chromatic and achromatic stimulation psychopharmacological applications explaining the common effect of sedative drugs on driving using performance models.
