✦ Synopsis

Fourteen normal female volunteers were allocated to either a 'skilled' or a control group. All subjects received acute doses of 0.8 g/ kg absolute alcohol or placebo equivalent. Performance on a number of tests of cognitive functioning and perceptual-motor skill was recorded commencing 30 min following treatment. The tests used were critical flicker fusion (CFF), gross-bodily choice reaction time (GBCRT), ball control (CONT), slalom (SLAL) and shooting (SHOOT). Although alcohol did not significantly impair performance, results suggested a discernible trend, with the skilled performers being more able to withstand the alcohol-induced impairment.

K E Y WORDS -Alcohol, perceptual-motor skill, gross-bodily skills, level of learning.
