TY - JOUR PY - 1988// TI - Smoking and performance--a puff-by-puff analysis JO - Psychopharmacology A1 - Revell, A. D. SP - 563 EP - 565 VL - 96 IS - 4 N2 - A new version of the Rapid Visual Information Processing (RVIP) task has been developed in this laboratory to examine the effects of each puff from a cigarette upon continuous performance. Two cigarettes were tested and compared with a not-smoking and a sham-smoking control. The results show improvements resulting from just two puffs both in terms of correct detections and reaction times. Both measures of performance were maintained at a higher level during and after smoking, compared with not-smoking and sham-smoking.
