A groundbreaking early 20th‑century study that pairs physiological science with psychology to explore how alcohol affects the nervous system in healthy adults.
Drawing on a structured program of experiments, it examines memory, sensory thresholds, motor coordination, and heart rate to map the broad range of alcohol’s effects.
This edition presents the plan behind the investigation, the experimental methods, and summarized results. It emphasizes careful measurement and comparative data, offering readers a window into how moderate doses of ethyl alcohol influence neural processes in real‑world tasks.
- Learn how memory, perception, movement, and cardiovascular responses change after alcohol intake
- See how researchers designed apparatus and procedures to measure subtle psychophysiological effects
- Understand differential effects across individuals and time after consumption
- Review tables and figures that illustrate threshold shifts, motor changes, and pulse patterns
Ideal for readers of early pharmacology, experimental psychology, and the history of science who want a clear view of how researchers approached the question of alcohol’s effects on the mind and body.
