Thirty-six subjects were given no alcohol on one day and 1 ml alcohol/kg body weight on another (the order of administration being counterbalanced across subjects). In both sessions, they performed a word categorization task involving surface and semantic processing of lists of 50 words followed by a recognition task (the presentation of those words in addition to an equal number of new words for speeded recognition). For categorization, subjects were slower and less accurate with alcohol than without. For recognition, alcohol resulted in a decrease in d' and an increase in beta. Categorization was slower and recognition more accurate for semantic processing than for surface processing. There was no evidence that the detrimental effects of alcohol on recognition memory can be reduced by deeper processing of the to-be-remembered items.
36名受试者在一天内不饮酒，而在另一天饮用1毫升/千克体重的酒精（给药顺序在受试者间进行了平衡）。在这两种情况下，他们都执行了一个单词分类任务，该任务涉及对50个单词列表进行表面和语义处理，随后是一个识别任务（除了相同数量的新单词用于快速识别外，还呈现那些单词）。对于分类任务，饮酒时受试者比不饮酒时速度更慢且准确性更低。对于识别任务，酒精导致d'值降低和β值增加。语义处理的分类速度比表面处理慢，而识别准确性更高。没有证据表明，通过对要记忆的项目进行更深入的处理，可以减少酒精对识别记忆的有害影响。
