Simple and complex psychomotor performance were tested among 21 Navy divers under normal conditions and during nitrogen narcosis in simulated dives to 170 ft of sea water. Complex psychomotor performance was impaired significantly during narcosis, while simple psychomotor performance remained essentially normal. Differences between baseline scores for complex psychomotor performance (pre- and post-dive combined) and scores obtained from the two combined testing sessions administered during narcosis were correlated with official Navy records of diving experience and self-reported moods. None of the diving experience measures was associated significantly with these difference scores. The moods of Fatigue and Happiness were, however, correlated significantly with impairment. These results indicate that, although previous experience with nitrogen narcosis and diving tasks do not mediate the performance effects of nitrogen narcosis, the complex psychomotor effects nitrogen narcosis are related to emotional traits.
在正常条件下以及模拟潜水至170英尺海水深度时发生氮麻醉期间，对21名海军潜水员的简单和复杂心理运动表现进行了测试。在麻醉期间，复杂心理运动表现显著受损，而简单心理运动表现基本保持正常。复杂心理运动表现的基线分数（潜水前和潜水后合并）与麻醉期间进行的两次合并测试环节所获得的分数之间的差异，与海军官方的潜水经验记录以及自我报告的情绪相关。没有一项潜水经验测量指标与这些差异分数显著相关。然而，疲劳和快乐情绪与功能损害显著相关。这些结果表明，尽管先前的氮麻醉和潜水任务经验不会调节氮麻醉对表现的影响，但氮麻醉的复杂心理运动影响与情绪特质有关。
