THE EFFECTS OF INHALATION OF 100 PER CENT OXYGEN ON PERFORMANCE OF A TASK INVOLVING VISUAL AUDITORY CONFLICT
Abstract
Conflicting and similar visual and auditory stimuli were presented in a random manner to a group of 9 subjects inhaling 100% oxygen for three and one-half hours, and the results compared with a group of 40 control subjects breathing air. Statistical and graphic evaluation led to the concl sion that 100% oxygen probably has no effect on performance of this task. I F IT DO S HAVE AN EFFECT, IT IS AT MOST BARELY DET CTABL ONE. There are no indications of gross disorganization, marked retardation, or of failure to follow instructions under the influence of pure o ygen. (A UTHOR)
