Abstract / Description of output
The performance of 88 smokers and non-smokers was assessed on reaction time, inspection time, and choice reaction time tasks. In addition personality measures and the evoked potential string length measure of brain efficiency were recorded. Intelligence was measured in a subsample of 70 subjects. Smokers deprived of nicotine for a minimum of 2 hr showed no significant differences on any of the measured variables. The implications of this finding for deprivation models of smoking-related enhancement of information processing speed are discussed.
