N2  - Sons of community dwelling alcoholic, depressed, and normal men were administered a comprehensive battery of neuropsychological tests. A generalized cognitive deficit was not found in the sons of alcoholics. The sons of alcoholics demonstrated greater ataxia than offspring in the two control groups and also performed more poorly on tests measuring visual scanning and attention, planning ability, and impulse control. These findings raise the possibility that an anterior cerebral dysfunction underlies the cognitive deficit observed in children of alcoholics.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
