内容説明

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. The theme throughout emphasizes the numerous aspects relating to the use of RT in psychopharmacology. The final result is a set of contributions which examine the most important measure of behavioural response to psychotropic drugs. Dr I. Hindmarch is the author of "Human Psychopharmacology Vol 1".
