Abstract

Twenty-four college students were tested under 15, 30, or 60 min of sensory deprivation (SD) or social isolation conditions. Results on a subsequent visual discrimination task indicated that sensory or social deprivation reduced visual discrimination errors; however, deprivation degree effects were not monotonie as hypothesized. Results favored a drive-reduction interpretation and indicated an adaptation variable relevant to specific deprivation times.
