    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Lo scopo di questa ricerca è stato di Studiare se un gruppo di alcoolisti cronici di media gravita fossero inferiori ad un gruppo di controllo in compiti di memoria e di intelligenza, se ci fosse discrepanza nella caduta a queste due classi di prove, e se la memoria spaziale fosse più compromessa di quella verbale negli alcoolisti, a testimonianza di una maggiore suscettibilità dell'emisfero destro ai danni provocati dall'alcool. I tests di intelligenza impiegati furono il Wechsler-Bellevue e le Matrici Progressive di Raven, e le prove di memoria furono span verbale e spaziale, e apprendimento verbale e spaziale. I risultati suggeriscono che l'alcoolismo cronico da abuso di vino compromette in modo simile la memoria e l'intelligenza, e che non ci sono indicazioni a favore di una maggiore sofferenza delle funzioni dell'emisfero destro.
    Notes: Abstract The aims of the research were to test (i) whether moderate chronic alcoholics (A/pts) perform worse that non teetotaler controls (C/pts) either on memory or on intelligence tasks or on both, and (ii) whether there was a significant difference between verbal and spatial memory scores pointing to the claimed prevailing right hemisphere sensitivity to alcohol abuse. Great care was taken in selecting C/pts not to exaggerate by sample biasing the psychological effects of alcoholism. Intelligence was tested by means of verbal and performance Wechsler-Bellevue IQ and Raven PM47; memory was tested by means of serial immediate memory span and learning by means of verbal and spatial devices. The results support the conclusion that chronic wine alcoholism in a band of drinkers with lowish educational background and very set drinking habits impairs memory and intelligence without any significant difference. Moreover there is no evidence of a prevalent right hemisphere sensitivity to chronic alcohol addiction.
