本研究比较了30岁退伍军人管理局住院男性酗酒者与智商、年龄、文化程度相匹配的非精神性退伍军人管理局门诊或蓝领员工对照组的3项持久力测验：熟悉图形匹配测验(MFFT)、迟缓旋转测验(RRT)和镜面追踪测验(MT)。研究发现，酗酒者在MFFT和MT任务上犯的错误明显多于非酗酒者，但在RRT上与非酗酒者没有显著差异。基于这三种测量的组合，酗酒者与非酗酒者在一个总体的持续性指数上也被区分开来。
This investigation compared a group of 30-yr-old male Veterans Administration inpatient alcoholics with an IQ, age and education matched comparison group of nonpsychiatric VA outpatients or blue collar employees on 3 measures of persistence: Matching to Familiar Figures Test (MFFT), Retarded Rotation Test (RRT) and Mirror Tracing (MT). Alcoholics were found to make significantly more errors on the MFFT and MT tasks, but didn''t differ significantly from nonalcoholics on the RRT. The alcoholics were also differentiated from the nonalcoholics on an overall index of persistence based on a combination of the 3 measures. The ramifications of the findings for understanding the etiology of the neuropsychological deficits manifested by alcoholics are discussed.
