TY - JOUR PY - 1980// TI - Residual effects of temazepam and other hypnotic compounds on cognitive function JO - Journal of clinical psychiatry A1 - Pishkin, V. A1 - Lovallo, W. R. A1 - Fishkin, S. M. A1 - Shurley, J. T. SP - 358 EP - 363 VL - 41 IS - 10 N2 - The morning after effects of taking single doses of three hypnotic compounds were compared in a five-group design, including the three drug conditions (temazepam, flurazepam, barbiturate), placebo, and no capsule controls.

RESULTS showed a slight superiority for temazepam over barbiturate on visual-motor and reaction time tasks. On one phase of a cognitive task, the barbiturate and flurazepam groups made more errors than the control groups. Overall, the results indicate an impairment in performance for the group taking barbiturate and a smaller impairment for the flurazepam group. No detectable impairment occurred for subjects taking temazepam.
