title: Assessment of the relative effects of alcohol on different types of job behaviour.
abstract: A study was conducted to determine the effects of alcohol ingestion on performance on the four behavioural processes that constitute most industrial tasks; perception, mediation, communication, and motor control. In this research, a single task that incorporated all four of the behavioural processes was designed, so that the relative effects of alcohol on the processes could be studied. Regression equations were developed which provide a model for the assessment of the impact of alcohol ingestion on industrial task performance.
