Effects of nitrous oxide in different subanaesthetic concentrations were studied in twelve subjects. Subjective scales of intoxication and of eight other mood variables were obtained by the method of magnitude estimation. Objective performance was examined by tests on memory and arithmetic. For most variables the dose‐response curves obtained showed progressively larger effects with increasing...
Frankenhaeuser, M. & Jarpe, G. Subjective intoxication induced by nitrous oxide in various concentrations. Scand. J. Psychol., 1962, 3, 171–176.—Subjective intoxication at various dose‐levels of nitrous oxide was investigated by the method of magnitude estimation. Estimates of intoxication were obtained from the intoxicated subjects themselves and from a group of observers. Both these sets of...
