The effects of nicotine were measured on the averaged visual evoked response (AVER) through the use of two types of experimental cigarettes which differed only in nicotine content (i.e., 0.14 vs. 1.34 mg/cig.). The results indicate that the restorative and/or enhancing effects of cigarette smoking on peak amplitudes are due predominantly to nicotine's psychopharmacologic effects, and support past research indicating that nicotine may enhance visual attentional processes in the quiescent smoker. This contrasts with other reports indicating nicotine to have a depressant effect on auditory processes.
通过使用仅尼古丁含量不同（即每支香烟含0.14毫克与1.34毫克尼古丁）的两种实验香烟，来测定尼古丁对平均视觉诱发电位（AVER）的影响。结果表明，吸烟对峰值振幅的恢复和/或增强作用主要归因于尼古丁的心理药理学效应，并支持过去的研究，该研究表明尼古丁可能增强安静吸烟者的视觉注意力过程。这与其他表明尼古丁对听觉过程有抑制作用的报告形成对比。
