Appended material in the report supplies important data concerning the 

 use of alcoholic beverages outside of the psychological laboratory by the sub- 

 jects of Dodge and Benedict and the general effects of alcohol as reported by 

 these subjects. There are also some recalculations of the previously published 

 data. 



Percentile effects of alcohol arranged in order of magnitude. 



Measurements. 



Second series. 



Av. of periods 



2, 3, and 4. 



Dodge and 

 Benedict series 

 (normal group). 



Inferior functioning: 



Patellar reflex, amplitude of secondary (A') with 50- 

 gram blow 



Mean variation of eye-reaction time 



Mean variation of pulse cycles with finger movements 



Lid reflex, amplitude of secondary (A') 



Eye movement, horizontal distance in 5" 



Lid reflex, amplitude of primary (A) 



Faradic threshold in j8 units required to stimulate the 

 fingers 



Patellar reflex, amplitude of primary (A) with 30- 

 gram blow 



Eye-reaction time to peripheral stimuli 



Pulse-cycle duration, "average of other pulse data, 

 Nos. 1 to 7" 



Pulse-cycle duration immediately before muscle ten- 



Eye-movement time required for turning from left to 

 right through 40° 



Pulse-cycle duration at time of finger movements . . . . 



Faradic threshold in Z units required to stimulate the 

 fingers 



Lid reflex, latency of primary (L) 



Patellar reflex, latency of secondary (L') with 30- 

 gram blow 



Mean variation of memory saving . . . . 



Nvunber of free finger movements performed in 8 

 seconds 



Length of respiration 



Patellar reflex, amplitude of primary (A) with 50- 

 gram blow 



Pulse-cycle duration after muscle tension 



Lid reflex, latency of secondary (L') 



Patellar reflex, latency of primary (L) with 30-gram 

 blow 



Pulse-cycle duration at the time of muscle tension . . 



Patellar reflex, latency of secondary (L') with 50- 

 gram blow 



Mean variation of word-reaction time 



Patellar reflex, latency of primary (L) with 50-gram 



blow 



Superior functioning:

Word-reaction time for four-letter words 



Patellar reflex, amplitude of secondary (A') with 30- 

 gram blow

^Superior with Dodge and Benedict. 



^Dodge and Benedict made no distinction between intensities of stimulation for patellar reflex 

 in their final summaries.
