A qualitative description of the acute effects of ethanol intoxication on learning and memory is presented. Mechanisms underlying the acquisition impairments observed in intoxicated subjects are discussed. Recent studies on retroactive facilitation are also considered. The importance of considering changes in attention, arousal, and mood in any account of the effects of ethanol on higher mental functions is emphasized. In the future, studies are needed in which the effects of ethanol are compared and contrasted with those of other agents. Such studies will not only improve our knowledge about ethanol's effects but will also enhance our understanding of cognition.
本文对乙醇中毒对学习和记忆的急性影响进行了定性描述。讨论了在中毒受试者中观察到的习得障碍的潜在机制。还考虑了近期关于逆向促进作用的研究。强调了在任何关于乙醇对高级心理功能影响的描述中考虑注意力、觉醒和情绪变化的重要性。未来需要进行研究,将乙醇的影响与其他药物的影响进行比较和对比。此类研究不仅将增进我们对乙醇影响的了解,还将加深我们对认知的理解。
