N2  - In two studies experimentally induced colds slowed the speed of response in a serial reaction task. Responding was also slower during the incubation period of the illness, which shows that performance on such a task may be used to predict subsequent illness. Volunteers who had no significant clinical illness, but who had a significant rise in IgG following virus challenge, also showed changes in performance. In contrast to the serial reaction task, neither colds nor subclinical infections impaired performance on a detection task.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
