26 alcoholic patients were investigated by means of visual averaged evoked responses (VAER) and the proneness to augment or to reduce the amplitude of VAER with increasing stimulus intensity was determined. The alcoholic patients were compared to a group of 40 patients with reactio neurotico-depressiva and a group of 28 healthy volunteers. The patients with alcoholism were found to be augmenters more often than might be expected from chance (22 of 26 patients) and these patients also differed significantly from both the other groups. The augmenter tendency, regarded as a relatively stable personality trait, due at least partly to genetic factors, is discussed, and the possible biochemical basis for the results is also discussed.
通过视觉平均诱发电位（VAER）对26名酒精中毒患者进行了研究，并确定了随着刺激强度增加VAER振幅增大或减小的倾向。将酒精中毒患者与一组40名患有神经症性抑郁反应的患者以及一组28名健康志愿者进行了比较。发现酗酒患者中增强者的比例高于随机预期（26名患者中有22名），并且这些患者也与其他两组有显著差异。讨论了被视为相对稳定的人格特质、至少部分归因于遗传因素的增强倾向，还讨论了该结果可能的生化基础。
