Abstract
University students were given timing tasks after a 30-min ingestion period of alcohol (0.4 g/kg). Intertone intervals to be matched were presented either to both ears or to the left ear only. Compared with controls, subjects receiving alcohol were found to show reduced timing variability (time estimate variance and Fourier transforms of the estimates) when tones were presented to both ears, but not to the left ear only. Control subjects displayed a smaller variability of timing responses for tones presented to the left ear than for tones presented to both ears, but these differences were either reversed or eliminated by alcohol. The results are discussed in terms of a variability hypothesis of alcohol effects.
