Abstract

Critical flicker fusion threshold, choice reaction time, total reaction time, and Sternbergtype memory tasks of digits/words were measured in twelve volunteers after having received vinpocetine or placebo for two days. A significant improvement was recorded in the short-term memory test following 40 mg of the drug when compared to placebo.
