For those who don’t get the joke: benzos are depressants, and will (temporarily) significantly reduce your cognitive function if you take enough to have amnesia.
But Eric Neyman’s post suggests that benzos don’t significantly reduce performance on some cognitive tasks (e.g. Spelling Bee)
Yeah there are definitely tasks that depressants would be expected to leave intact. I’d guess it’s correlated strongly with degree of working memory required.
