Handedness and Psychomotor Performance
A I I E Transactions, 1970Abstract The results of three independent experiments with five diversified tasks and a total of 106 naive nonindustrial subjects tend to support the hypothesis that right-handed subjects are more likely to have a higher performance and to improve more on psychomotor tasks than do left-handed subjects.

Effects of Terfenadine on Psychomotor Performance
Drug Safety, 1993Sedation and impairment of psychomotor performance are well known adverse effects of the traditional antihistamines. These effects appear to be caused by different mechanisms, but both may have potentially dangerous consequences. while several of the newer antihistamines, such as terfenadine, have overcome the problem of sedation, it is also important ...

Incentive and Practice in the Psychomotor Performance of the Elderly
Journal of Gerontology, 1978Adults aged 64 to 76 years were compared to adults aged 19 to 25 years in regard to the effects of practice and special incentive in Digit Symbol substitution performance. Differential age effects of motivation were not observed but those of practice were.

Effect of Pain on Human Psychomotor Performance
Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 1978The effect of pain on human psychomotor performance was measured in seven healthy volunteers after an intramuscular injection of vitamin B or saline using a controlled cross‐over method. Vitamin B, causing moderate to severe pain, or painless saline was injected into the buttock at a time when the subjects' performance was impaired after an intravenous

Electroencephalographic Studies of Skilled Psychomotor Performance
Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2004Measurements based on the EEG have featured prominently in shaping present-day concepts of the neurocognitive aspects of skilled performance. The techniques include measurements of spectral power, interelectrode coherence, event-related potential components such as the P300, slow potentials, and the method of cognitive inference. The advantages offered

The effects of toluene and alcohol on psychomotor performance
Ergonomics, 1983Eight male subjects took part in four experimental sessions in an exposure chamber to assess the effects of toluene (80 p.p.m.) and alcohol (0.4 ml per kg body weight) individually and in combination on four measures of performance and also on mood. Alcohol caused a significant deterioration over the exposure session in performance on pursuit tracking ...

Motivational Effects of Anxiety on Psychomotor Performance
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1994The Hull-Spence theory of anxiety drive (A) was tested in a psychomotor learning situation in which both correct responses (R +) and competing responses (R -) were evoked by the task. Measures of A-Trait and A-State were obtained from 151 women and 52 men, all of whom were then exposed to a sequence of 16 trials on a mirror-tracking task presented ...

Effects of sulphur hexafluoride on psychomotor performance
Clinical Physiology, 1992Summary The narcotic influence of sulphur hexafluoride on mental and psychomotor performance has been studied in 9 subjects at normal atmospheric pressure. Control experiments were performed with air and with nitrous oxide. Psychomotor, perceptual and cognitive abilities were assessed using a computerized test battery.

Interpreting Linked Psychomotor Performance Scores
Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2013Given that equating/linking applications are now appearing in kinesiology literature, this article provides an overview of the different types of linked test scores: equated, concordant, and predicted. It also addresses the different types of evidence required to determine whether the scores from two different field tests (measuring the same construct)

The effects of anxiety upon psychomotor performance
Journal of Sports Sciences, 1988This paper describes an experiment which examined the effects of anxiety on choice reaction time and movement time. A balanced repeated measures design was adopted in which eight female subjects performed a six-choice visual reaction task in 'no anxiety' and 'anxiety' conditions. The anxiety condition required subjects to jump from a balcony 15 feet (4.
