abstract="This study evaluated the utility of a binary classification task in assessing the neurotoxic effects of elemental mercury. Twenty-six mercury cell chlor-alkali workers were tested in order to study the dose-response relationship between mercury exposure and the stage-specific measures provided by this reaction-time paradigm. Two of the stages studied, short-term memory scanning and binary decision, were found to be adversely affected by chronic exposure to mercury.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
