Abstract

The acute effects of alcohol (0.7 g /kg) on visual sign detection performance and critical flicker fusion frequency (CFF) of normal volunteers were investigated using a signal detection theory analysis. When signal probability was low, alcohol affected the stimulus sensitivity and the reaction times of hits. Under a high signal probability these indices were not affected, whereas the response bias did not change after the administration of alcohol under both signal probabilities. CFF values were not altered by alcohol.
