“…On the WCST, the ability to shift strategies when reinforcement contingencies change -as inversely measured by perseverative errors -is impaired by acute alcohol intoxication (Lyvers & Maltzman, 1991;Lyvers & Tobias-Webb, 2010), consistent with a depressant effect of alcohol on the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. On the IGT, alcohol intoxication may diminish the ability to learn to ignore large immediate payoffs that are sometimes accompanied by large losses in favour of a more conservative strategy where smaller immediate payoffs lead to greater long term gains.…”

“…Alcohol intoxication has been found to acutely disrupt performance on a well known neuropsychological test sensitive to prefrontal cortical functioning in both laboratory and naturalistic bar settings (Lyvers & Maltzman, 1991;Lyvers & Tobias-Webb, 2010). On the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST; Heaton, Chelune, Talley, Kay & Curtis, 1993), the percentage of perseverative errors -i.e., persisting with a previously correct but currently inappropriate sorting response -increases under the influence of alcohol.…”

Introduction: Alterations in executive functioning are frequent in depressed subjects, being the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) one of the most utilized instruments to assess it, even though, when individually compared, this test's items did not show consistency. Results: We found significant differences between depressed patients and healthy controls regarding number of categories, perseverative responses, perseverative errors, non-perseverative errors, percentage of conceptual level responses and failure to maintain set, clearly influenced by the variable age, which showed a shared variance between 17% and 33% in depressive patients' performance and between 16% and 26% in healthy controls' performance.Conclusions: Results allowed us to identify differences in performance between the two groups, therefore this version of the WCST revealed itself a reliable alternative to assess Executive Functions (EFs), accessible to all clinicians.

“…Several mechanisms for a direct alcohol-violence link have been proposed, including the suggestion that alcohol impairs cognition (Grant and Macdonald, 2005) and frontal lobe activity (Lyvers and Tobias-Webb, 2010). There are alternate, less proximal, possible explanations as well.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: This study examined childhood abuse, problem behavior, drinking style, and dating violence (DV). Our goal was to assess whether (a) alcohol use-related beliefs and behaviors ("drinking style") would be associated with DV perpetration and victimization, (b) drinking style would mediate the relationship between childhood abuse and DV, and (c) the drinking style-DV relationship would be attributable to propensity for problem behavior. Method: Cross-sectional survey data were collected from 456 youth ages 14-21 years who were patients in an urban emergency department. Participants were eligible if they were unmarried and reported past-month alcohol use and dating in the past year. By design, the sample was 50% female. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results: For both males and females, past-year DV was associated with a more risky drinking style, characterized by more frequent alcohol use, alcohol-aggression expectancies, drinking to cope, and beliefs that alcohol is disinhibiting and that being drunk provides a "time-out" from behavioral expectations. Drinking style mediated the childhood victimization-DV relationship for males and females. However, when propensity for problem behavior was included in the model, the effect of drinking style on DV was no longer significant. Substantial path differences for males and females were observed. Conclusions: The current study examined adolescent drinking style as a potential mediator between childhood victimization and DV. Drinking style was associated with DV for males and females and mediated the relationship between childhood victimization and DV. The relationship between drinking style and DV appeared to refl ect adolescents' propensity for problem behavior. Variations in males' and females' pathways to DV were observed. The implications of these fi ndings are discussed. (J.
