“…This assertion is not entirely consistent with results of experimental studies, which have shown that when alcoholics are given alcohol under controlled conditions they do not necessarily launch into immediate uncontrolled drinking [9]. Nonetheless, this conception is still the dominant one among treatment professionals and the public.…”

“…Many of these studies demonstrate there is considerable individual variation in the ability of drugs and drug cues to bias attention, produce craving, and instigate relapse in humans (Abrams et al, 1988; Carpenter et al, 2009; Carter and Tiffany, 1999; de Wit et al, 1986; de Wit et al, 1987; Kirk and de Wit, 2000; Lloyd and Salzberg, 1975; Niaura et al, 1998; Payne et al, 2006). Indeed, there is growing evidence that some humans are more reactive to cues.…”

When exposed to the sights, sounds, smells and/or places that have been associated with rewards, such as food or drugs, some individuals have difficulty resisting the temptation to seek out and consume them. Others have less difficulty restraining themselves. Thus, Pavlovian reward cues may motivate maladaptive patterns of behavior to a greater extent in some individuals than in others. We are just beginning to understand the factors underlying individual differences in the extent to which reward cues acquire powerful motivational properties, and therefore, the ability to act as incentive stimuli. Here we review converging evidence from studies in both human and non-human animals suggesting that a subset of individuals are more “cue reactive”, in that certain reward cues are more likely to attract these individuals to them and motivate actions to get them. We suggest that those individuals for whom Pavlovian reward cues become especially powerful incentives may be more vulnerable to impulse control disorders, such as binge eating and addiction.

“…In recent years, there has been considerable controversy about the possibility of controlled drinking as a treatment goal for some alcoholics (cf., Hamburg, 1975;Lloyd and Salzberg, 1975;Pattison, 1976. The findings of the recent Rand report (Armor, Polich and Stambul, 1976), showing that a sizeable proportion of alcoholics appear to be drinking in a normal or controlled fashion after discharge from conventional, abstinence-oriented treatment programs, have recently stimulated a barrage of criticism.…”
