Abstract

Sixty healthy male volunteers were randomly assigned to one of six treatment groups on a double-blind basis: 1. Atenolol = 50 mg t.d.s. 2. Methyl dopa = 250 mg t.d.s. 3. Propanolol = 40 mg t.d.s. 4. Reserpine = 0.2 mg t.d.s. 5. Placebo. 6. Control = no tablets. Tests were carried out before treatment, 2 h after the first dose, after seven doses, and after 21 doses. Subjects performance on the Stroop Colour-Word Test was assessed in terms of (a) word reading speed and (b) an 'interference' score based on the difference between the incongruous colour word and colour card reading speed. No evidience was found of central effects of the beta-blockers, but personality X drug interactions were found, particularly in the reserpine group.

  • The observed effect of propranolol on IAT was unlikely due to a general impairing effect of propranolol on cognitive performance.

    “it seems unlikely that the observed effect on IAT was due to a general impairing effect of propranolol on cognitive performance, given that previous research has demonstrated that propranolol and other beta blockers do not impair performance on purely cognitive conflict tasks, such as the standard Stroop test (Harvey et al. 1977; Lasser et al. 1989; Nakano etal. 1978).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
