A transilluminated, modified Amsler grid was used for evaluation of the macula in 80 cataract patients of whom 19 had abnormal maculas. The results were compared to those obtained with a commonly used test: colour perception. As control of the tests the post-operative visual acuity and ophthalmoscopic macula inspection was used. Of the diseased maculas 68% were identified by the Amsler grid test and only 32% by the colour perception test. Both tests identified a high proportion of normal maculas: 90% by Amsler grid test and 89% by colour perception test. A pathological response to the Amsler grid test indicated a 68% probability of macular disease, and a normal test result indicated a 90% probability of normal macula. Only the Amsler grid test however is not applicable to all cataract patients: Of originally 110 patients taken in for this test, 30 patients (27%) could not see the grid at all, whereas all 110 patients could be tested with the colour perception test.
Adult, male smokers were randomly assigned to be nicotine abstinent for 12 h (n = 10) or to smoke normally for the same period of time (n = 10). Performance on a modified version of the Stroop (1935) color-naming task, where subjects named the color of ink in which each of a series of words was written, showed that abstinent smokers took significantly longer to color-name words related to cigarette smoking (e.g., Lighter) than to color-name neutral control words (e.g., Pennant). Non-abstinent smokers showed a significant difference in the opposite direction. These results suggest that nicotine abstinence decreases the ability to ignore the meaning of smoking-related information. This finding supports the hypothesis that abstinence produces a content-specific shift in attentional focus. The present pattern of results cannot be explained by a general decrease in cognitive function due to nicotine abstinence.
