Measuring response times of a guy zonked on morphine - the experimenter read certain words at the patient to see how fast they responded by pushing a button that turned on the lights.

Measures a patient's mental and physical reaction to slang references to drugs. In this test a researcher in an adjoining room shows the addict words such as "dope" and "informer" and then measures their psyichal responses (facial reactions, pulse, blood pressure, breathing and galvanic skin response (a change in the skin's electrical conductivity due to stress) as well as verbal responses via the mic.

Tests often conducted on inmates under the influence of narcotics - both patients and doctors I presume.
