Popis: Effects of ethanol on vigilance in tasks requiring continuous performance are reviewed. Evidence is presented to indicate that ethanol has adverse effects on both the overall level of performance and the rate of performance decrement over time. The effects on performance level are attributed to nonspecific sedative properties of ethanol whereas the effects on rate of decrement are interpreted as a more specific loss in cognitive processing capacity.
