Question 4176
After taking tranquilizing medication, reaction time...
- does not change.
- decreases.
- increases.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: increases.
Tranquilizers calm you down, but they also make you drowsy, reduce your alertness, and slow your movements. That's why you take longer to respond to a hazard and your reaction time increases. In the image, the driver has a blister pack of pills and a bottle on the car's console.
