Abstrakt: The study was designed to assess the hypothesis that preference for visual stimulation is at least in part determined by physiological mechanisms which can be modified by depressant and stimulant drugs. Thirty-six undergraduate females representing stable extraverts and stable introverts were used under diversive and specific exploration paradigms. While the specific exploration paradigm failed to reveal drug effects, the diversive exploration paraddigms.While dextroamphetamine sulfate had no significant effect on the preferrence patterns of extraverts. The relationship between the RAS, cortical arousal, and preferences for stimulation is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
