Visual search activity was monitored during reading in 18 college undergraduates before and after a week long regimen of Valium (5 mg t.i.d.) or placebo. Although Valium had little or no subjectively recognizable effect on participants in the study, computer analyses of electrooculograms did indicate significant changes in the Valium group. Administration of Valium resulted in an increase in frequency of long fixation pauses, a general increase in duration of fixations following a line shift, and a decrease in velocity of saccadic eye movements during line shifts. The specific changes identified were consistent with an overall decrease in material read in the second session in the Valium group.
