Correlates of Alcoholic Blackout Experience
2
Abstract
This study examined the proposition that the experience of alcoholic blackouts
is related to other indices of cerebral involvement in the alcoholic process. In
particular it was suggested that those who experience alcoholic blackouts
would also show signs of the effects of alcoholic damage in the form of lower
scores on cognitive functions vulnerable to the effects of long-term alcohol
abuse. While some evidence was found linking the experience of blackout to
severity of the alcohol problem no relationship was found between cognitive
functioning and the experience of blackout. The possibility that different
mechanisms may underlie the various cognitive sequelae of alcohol abuse is
raised.
