Psychopharmacology and Reaction TimeIan Hindmarch, Bernd Aufdembrinke, Helmut Ott This book aims to review and illustrate the uses of reaction time in psychopharmacology ranging from inter-CNS work in neurophysiology to the gross measurement of behavioural changes in vital life situations such as the braking time taken to stop a car. The illustrations are backed by methodological and theoretical contributions which place studies using RT in an appropriate context. |
