Abstract

Forty Ss attempted to remain in dark, quiet sensory deprivation (SD) for seven days. Twenty Ss lived individually in a live-in-the-lab control condition (C) affording much recreational activity. Nineteen SDs but only one C requested early release. SDs out-performed Cs on a time-shared perceptual-motor task which involved tracking, turning off location-coded tones, and turning off a noise. These data are further evidence that performance enhancement sometimes occurs during SD.
