“…Versions of the CPT have been widely employed to study attentional control and response inhibition in a variety of patient groups, particularly schizophrenics (see Cohen and ServanSchreiber 1992). In this version, adapted from Dougherty et al (1999), 5-digit numbers were presented at a constant rate of two per second for a period of 5 minutes. Participants were instructed to respond by clicking the left button on a computer mouse whenever a 5-digit sequence was identical to the preceding one ('targets') and NOT to respond to either 'novel' stimuli (all 5 digits were different from those in previous stimulus) or 'catch' stimuli (where 4 of the 5 digits matched the preceding stimulus).…”

“…The rate of impulsive, incorrect responses to catch stimuli (measured by commission errors) has been found to correlate positively with impulsive personality traits and to increase following consumption of alcohol (Dougherty et al, 1999). However, the probability of a commission error is influenced both by the ability to discriminate between target and catch stimuli and by response bias; we have therefore indexed these influences separately using signal detection theory.…”

Relapse to smoking during unaided cessation: clinical, cognitive and motivational predictors

Rationale: Neurobiological models of addiction suggest that abnormalities of brain reward circuitry distort salience attribution and inhibitory control processes, which in turn contribute to high relapse rates. Objectives:To determine whether impairments of salience attribution and inhibitory control predict relapse in a pharmacologically unaided attempt at smoking cessation.Methods: 141 smokers were assessed on indices of nicotine consumption / dependence (e.g. the FTND, cigarettes per day, salivary cotinine), and three trait impulsivity measures. After overnight abstinence they completed experimental tests of cue reactivity, attentional bias to smoking cues, response to financial reward, motor impulsiveness, and response inhibition (antisaccades). They then started a quit attempt with follow-up after 7 days, 1 month, and 3 months; abstinence was verified via salivary cotinine levels ≤ 20ng/ml. Results:Relapse rates at each point were 52.5%, 64% and 76.3%. The strongest predictor was pre-cessation salivary cotinine; other smoking / dependence indices did not explain additional outcome variance and neither did trait impulsivity. All experimental indices except responsivity to financial reward significantly predicted one week outcome. Salivary cotinine, attentional bias to smoking cues and antisaccade errors explained unique as well as shared variance. At one and three months, salivary cotinine, motor impulsiveness and cue reactivity were all individually predictive; the effects of salivary cotinine and motor impulsiveness were additive.Conclusions: These data provide some support for the involvement of abnormal cognitive and motivational processes in sustaining smoking dependence and suggest that they might be a focus of interventions, especially in the early stages of cessation.2

Alcohol Increases Commission Error Rates for a Continuous Performance Test

Abstract: These data indicate that even small amounts of alcohol can produce measurable changes in CPT performance parameters if the task is of sufficient difficulty and that commission errors can be increased by alcohol consumption.
