A double-blind study examined the effects of a single dose of either triazolam or flurazepam on measures of concept formation, attention, concentration, and motor function, the morning following drug ingestion. Subjects were 53 healthy university students, screened for history of neurological or psychiatric illness. In comparison to placebo-treated controls, there was no difference in the effects on neuropsychological performance, although subjects who received flurazepam reported more side effects. It was concluded that although these drugs may produce side effects, single doses do not appear to impair various aspects of neuropsychological ability the morning after ingestion.
