Human Repeated Acquisition and Performance during Diphenhydramine and Cold Air Exposure

Abstract

Male subjects were trained on a performance assessment battery (PAB) that included the repeated acquisition and performance of twelve - member response sequences. Subjects were administered 50 or 100 mg of diphenhydramine HCL in combination with air temperatures of 22 or 4 degrees C. The results indicate decreases in response latency during cold exposures with and without the drug. There was also an inverse relationship between error levels and the number of response sequences completed during each session.
