Alcohol and motion perception

Three motion perception skills were measured under different levels of alcohol ingestion. Our method for detecting decrements in visual information processing proved sensitive to blood alcohol levels as low as .02%. Alcohol in small doses increased reaction times to the onset of motion, particularly to slow speeds, but did not reduce the ability to allocate attention effectively. In view of these findings, certain motion perception tests may be valuable assays for detecting impaired performance with low blood alcohol levels.     

An Introduction to Issues of Gender in Stalking Research

Stalking research has increased substantially in the past 20?years. This special issue is intended to contribute to this literature by using gender as a focus point in 1) applying new theoretical perspectives that incorporate the role of gender to the study of stalking perpetration (Davis et al. 2010; Duntley and Buss 2010), 2) addressing divergent findings regarding gender in experiences of victims (Sheridan and Lyndon 2010) and perpetrators (Thompson et al. 2010), and 3) furthering the study of how gender influences perceptions of stalking (Cass and Rosay 2011; Dunlap et al. 2011; Sinclair 2010; Yanowitz and Yanowitz 2010). To place this special issue in context of the current state of knowledge on gender and stalking, we review the state of the existing research as it relates to the domains covered by articles present in this issue.
