积极的酒精，恢复酒精和社会饮酒的父亲的儿子进行神经心理测试，以评估他们是否在他们的认知功能不同。多变量方差分析表明，积极酗酒的儿子的儿子表现出显着较差的视觉空间，记忆和注意力的任务，以及一般的智力功能比儿子的社会饮酒的父亲。恢复酗酒父亲的儿子在认知功能方面与社交饮酒父亲没有显着差异。这些结果表明，酗酒父亲的临床类型（即，不能戒酒，更严重的酒精与能够戒酒，不太严重的酒精）可能是一个重要的因素，决定是否酗酒者的后代有神经心理缺陷。版权所有（C）1997 Elsevier Science Inc.
Sons of active alcoholic, recovering alcoholic, and social drinking fathers were administered neuropsychological tests to assess whether they differ in their cognitive functioning. Multivariate analyses of variance showed that sons of active alcoholic sons perform significantly worse on visuospatial, memory, and attentional tasks as well as general intellectual functioning than sons of social drinking fathers. The sons of recovering alcoholic fathers showed no significant difference from social drinking fathers in their cognitive functioning. These results suggest that the clinical type of the alcoholic father (i.e., inability to abstain, more severe alcoholic vs. ability to abstain, less severe alcoholic) may be an important factor that determines whether offspring of alcoholics have neuropsychological deficits.
