Paired Associate Learning (PAL) Total Errors Adjusted (PALTEA28) on Ketamine Primary · At 4:20 and 5:06 hours:minutes after first drug administration in each treatment period.

Paired Associate Learning (PAL) assesses visual memory and new learning. Boxes are displayed on the screen and open in turn to reveal a number of patterns. Participants are instructed to try to remember the location in which each pattern was shown. After all the boxes have been opened, each pattern is then shown in the center of the screen in a randomised order, and the participant touches the box in which the pattern was located. If an error is made, all the patterns are re-presented to remind the participant of their locations. The PALTEA28 evaluates the number of errors committed by the su

Spatial Working Memory (SWM) Between Errors (BE468) on Ketamine Secondary · At 4:20 and 5:06 hours:minutes after first drug administration in each treatment period.

SWM assesses the ability of the participant to retain spatial information and manipulate it in working memory. A number of coloured boxes are presented on the screen, and the computer hides a token in these boxes one at a time. The participant is instructed to touch the boxes in turn to search for the token that has been hidden. The key task instruction is that the computer will never hide a token in the same coloured box twice in the same problem. The SWMBE468 evaluates the number of times the subject incorrectly revisits a box in which a token has previously been found. Calculated across al

Rapid Visual Information Processing A' Prime (RVPA) on Ketamine Secondary · At 4:20 and 5:06 hours:minutes after first drug administration in each treatment period.

Rapid Visual Information Processing (RVP) is a sensitive measure of sustained attention, outputting measures of response accuracy, target sensitivity and reaction times. The RVPA is a quantitative measure for a subject's sensitivity to the target sequence regardless of response tendency. The RVPA ranges from 0.00 to 1.00. The higher the RVPA value, the better the sensitivity to the target sequence one has.
