Perceptual learning in detoxified alcoholic men: contributions from explicit memory, executive function, and age.
Alcohol Clin Exp Res. 2004; (11): 1657-65
Visuospatial and visuoperceptual deficits have consistently been observed in detoxified alcoholics; however, the severity of impairment varies with test and task type. Identifying the component processes and factors that underlie a particular deficit may reveal why some visuospatial and visuoperceptual tasks are more compromised than others and may lead to the specification of neural systems that are particularly vulnerable in alcoholism.
