Abstract

Detection of peripheral light stimuli was examined with 12 Ss under 4 treatment levels of smoked marihuana. Marihuana severely impaired detection performance and the decrement was linearly related to dose. Information-processing demands from the central fixation light did not affect the degree of impairment.
