Publisher's Synopsis
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".
