Do chronic alcoholics have intact implicit memory? An ERP study

Mismatch Negativity and Auditory Sensory Memory in Chronic Alcoholics

“…This study reported similar amplitudes but delayed latencies of MMN in alcoholic subjects compared with control subjects (Kathmann et al, 1995). Memory deficits have also been found using ERPs to attended visual stimuli in alcoholics Porjesz and Begleiter 1993;Zhang et al, 1997). Nevertheless, no ERP study has been conducted to test auditory sensory memory duration in alcoholic subjects.…”

Mismatch Negativity and Auditory Sensory Memory in Chronic Alcoholics

“…Some of these studies have assessed controlled processes of attention (Patterson et al, 1987;Pfefferbaum et al, 1991). Memory deficits have also been found using ERPs to attended visual stimuli in alcoholics Porjesz and Begleiter 1993;Zhang et al, 1997). This study reported similar amplitudes but delayed latencies of MMN in alcoholic subjects compared with control subjects (Kathmann et al, 1995).…”

Alcohol use and negative affect in the offence cycle

“…We know that disorder and crime related to alcohol use are relatively common in community samples (Makkai, 1998), and, despite evidence that alcohol intake may reduce aggressiveness in some individuals (Dougherty et al, 1996), meta-analytic reviews have generally concluded that alcohol increases aggression under certain conditions (Ito et al, 1996;Bushman, 1997), especially in certain individuals (Zhang et al, 1997).…”
