“…Inhibitory control training targets motor impulsivity by training participants to decrease prepotent responses to cues relevant to negative health behaviors (e.g., drugs, unhealthy foods). These inhibitory training procedures have resulted in improvements in the trained or similar tasks (i.e., near-transfer; improvements in response inhibition following inhibitory control training; Alcorn, Pike, Stoops, Lile, & Rush, 2017; Houben, Nederkoorn, Wiers, & Jansen, 2011; Rush, Strickland, Pike, Studts, & Stoops, 2020; Strickland, Hill, Stoops, & Rush, 2019). However, far-transfer involving improvements in other cognitive domains relevant to impulsivity appear poor.…”

“…However, far-transfer involving improvements in other cognitive domains relevant to impulsivity appear poor. For example, Rush and colleagues (2020) found that inhibitory control training by participants with cocaine use disorder improved stop-signal task performance but did not affect delay discounting performance. Similarly, Alcorn and colleagues (2017) found in a similar participant population that inhibitory control training improved stop-signal task performance but did not affect attentional bias for cocaine cues.…”

We demonstrate through theoretical, empirical, and sociocultural evidence that the concept of impulsivity fails the basic requirements of a psychological construct and should be rejected as such. Impulsivity (or impulsiveness) currently holds a central place in psychological theory, research, and clinical practice and is considered a multifaceted concept. However, impulsivity falls short of the theoretical specifications for hypothetical constructs by having meaning that is not compatible with psychometric, neuroscience, and clinical data. Psychometric findings indicate that impulsive traits and behaviors (e.g., response inhibition, delay discounting) are largely uncorrelated and fail to load onto a single, superordinate latent variable. Modern neuroscience has also failed to identify a specific and central neurobehavioral mechanism underlying impulsive behaviors and instead has found separate neurochemical systems and loci that contribute to a variety of impulsivity types. Clinically, these different impulsivity types show diverging and distinct pathways and processes relating to behavioral and psychosocial health. The predictive validity and sensitivity of impulsivity measures to pharmacological, behavioral, and cognitive interventions also vary based on the impulsivity type evaluated and clinical condition examined. Conflation of distinct personality and behavioral mechanisms under a single umbrella of impulsivity ultimately increases the likelihood of misunderstanding at a sociocultural level and facilitates misled hypothesizing and artificial inconsistencies for clinical translation. We strongly recommend that, based on this comprehensive evidence, psychological scientists and neuroscientists reject the language of impulsivity in favor of a specific focus on the several well-defined and empirically supported factors that impulsivity is purported to cover.

Caregivers of youth with sickle cell disease (SCD) influence the youth disease management and psychosocial outcomes. Effective caregiver coping is important for improving disease management and outcomes since caregivers often report high disease-related parenting stress. This study characterizes caregiver coping and examines its relation to youth clinic nonattendance and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Participants were 63 youth with SCD and their caregivers. Caregivers completed the Responses to Stress Questionnaire–SCD module to assess primary control engagement (PCE; attempts to change stressors or reactions to stress), secondary control engagement (SCE; strategies to adapt to stress), and disengagement (avoidance) coping. Youth with SCD completed the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory–SCD module. Medical records were reviewed for the hematology appointment nonattendance rates. Coping factors were significantly different (F [1.837, 113.924]=86.071, P<0.001); caregivers reported more PCE (M=2.75, SD=0.66) and SCE (M=2.78, SD=0.66) than disengagement (M=1.75, SD=0.54) coping. Responses to short-answer questions corroborated this pattern. Greater caregiver PCE coping was associated with lower youth nonattendance (β=−0.28, P=0.050), and greater caregiver SCE coping was related to higher youth HRQOL (β=0.28, P=0.045). Caregiver coping is related to improved clinic attendance and HRQOL in pediatric SCD. Providers should assess caregiver coping styles and consider encouraging engagement coping.

“…However, there is also diverging evidence with regard to smoking behavior (Bos et al, 2019 ; Scholten et al, 2019 ). In other Substance Use Disorders (Alcorn et al, 2017 ; Rush et al, 2020 ), as well as in behavioral addictions, the evidence is very sparse (Luquiens et al, 2019 ). In different non-clinical samples, training IC led to reduced risk-taking in subsequent gambling tasks (Stevens et al, 2015 ; Verbruggen et al, 2012 ), even though the effects do not seem to be long-lasting (i.e., 24 h; see Verbruggen et al, 2013 ).…”

Background Deficits in inhibitory control seem to promote habit behavior and therefore play an important role in the development and maintenance of addictive diseases. Although several training approaches have been suggested, there is a considerable lack of knowledge about the best way to improve inhibitory control. Based on a literature review regarding shortcomings of existing trainings, an individualized, adaptive inhibitory control training was developed. We aimed to assess feasibility and acceptance of this training and to provide preliminary results on its efficacy regarding inhibitory control and binge drinking. Methods Sixty-one individuals (30 female) with binge drinking behavior were randomly allocated to either an experimental group receiving three sessions of the inhibitory control training or a waitlist control group receiving no training. Before and after the training, the participants performed a Go/NoGo task to assess inhibitory control (commission errors and false reaction time), completed a questionnaire on drinking-related self-control, and reported drinking behavior. Results Although the training was feasible and accepted by participants, it did not affect self-control over drinking, inhibitory control or drinking behavior. The relationship between session number and false reaction time was linear for alcohol stimuli, but squared for neutral stimuli. Conclusion Although our findings have to be interpreted in the light of some shortcomings, they demonstrate that further research is needed to enhance our understanding of how to improve inhibitory control and which factors might moderate this process.
