1. The effect of three doses of either aspirin (1280 mg each) or dimenhydrinate (Dramamine) (100 mg each) in an 8 h period on visual processes was investigated double‐blind on sixteen volunteer subjects. 2. Tests included night‐vision, colour‐discrimination, stereoacuity and stereopsis, reaction‐time, pupil size, eye‐movements, visual evoked cortical potentials, electroencephalographs, a dial‐reading task, and a test of texture discrimination. 3. Both drugs affected colour discrimination, and dimenhydrinate degraded night‐vision, reaction‐ time, and stereopsis. 4. The effect of aspirin was minor, but the impairments produced by dimenhydrinate appear to be of practical importance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
