Abstract

Three experiments are reported which investigate the effects of acute alcohol intoxication (average blood alcohol concentration 100 mg-%) on some aspects of human information processing. The results are interpreted within the framework of a general information processing model (Smith, 1968), using the Sternberg (1969b) additive-factor method of analysis. Alcohol consistently impaired information outputting operations (i.e., response selection-organization), rather than information inputting operations (i.e., stimulus preprocessing and encoding).
