Abstract
16 chronic alcoholics were hypothesized to show a discrepancy between performance on motor speed and complex perceptual-motor tasks. Utilizing a tapping test as the measure of motor speed, and reaction time and tracing tasks as measures of perceptual-motor coordination, alcoholics did not differ from 16 normals on tapping but did on the perceptual-motor tasks.Keywords
