“…Similar as the IGT, poor judgment of problem gamblers on the AGL task could be a result of impairment in a range of cognitive (e.g., working memory; Waldron and Ashby Bierman, Destrebecqz, & Cleeremans, 2005) factors (for a review see Goudriaan et al 2004;Van Holst et al 2010). Therefore, further studies are needed to disentangle these processes and also to assess their relationship to metacognitive processes.…”

Impaired Metacognitive Capacities in Individuals with Problem Gambling

Impaired insight into behavior may be one of the clinical characteristics of pathological gambling. In the present study, we tested whether the capacity to evaluate accurately the quality of one's own decisions during a non-gambling task was impaired in problem gamblers. Twenty-five problem gamblers and 25 matched healthy participants performed an artificial grammar-learning paradigm, in which the quality of choice remains uncertain throughout the task. After each trial of this task, participants had to indicate how confident they were in the grammaticality judgements using a scale ranging from 1 (low confidence) to 7 (high confidence). Results showed that (i), problem gamblers' performance on the grammaticality test was lower than controls'; (ii) there was a significant correlation between grammaticality judgments and confidence for control participants, which indicates metacognitive insight and the presence of conscious knowledge; (iii) this correlation was not significant in problem gamblers, which suggests a disconnection between performance and confidence in this group. These findings suggest that problem gamblers are impaired in their metacognitive abilities on a non-gambling task, which suggests that compulsive gambling is associated with poor insight as a general factor. Clinical interventions tailored to improve metacognition in gambling could be a fruitful avenue of research in order to prevent pathological gambling.

“…Alterations in the reward system have been associated with various neuropsychiatric disorders, including depression (Drevets, 2001), pathological gambling (Goudriaan et al, 2004), substance abuse (Volkow et al, 2003;Bechara, 2005;Garavan and Stout, 2005), eating disorders and obesity (Volkow and Wise, 2005), and schizophrenia (Chau et al, 2004).…”

Reward-seeking behavior depends critically on processing of positive and negative information at various stages such as reward anticipation, outcome monitoring, and choice evaluation. Behavioral and neuropsychological evidence suggests that processing of positive (e.g., gain) and negative (e.g., loss) reward information may be dissociable and individually disrupted. However, it remains uncertain whether different stages of reward processing share certain neural circuitry in frontal and striatal areas, and whether distinct but interactive systems in these areas are recruited for positive and negative reward processing. To explore these issues, we used a monetary decision-making task to investigate the roles of frontal and striatal areas at all three stages of reward processing in the same event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging experiment. Participants were instructed to choose whether to bet or bank a certain number of chips. If they decided to bank or if they lost a bet, they started over betting one chip. If they won a bet, the wager was doubled in the next round. Positive reward anticipation, winning outcome, and evaluation of right choices activated the striatum and medial/middle orbitofrontal cortex, whereas negative reward anticipation, losing outcome, and evaluation of wrong choices activated the lateral orbitofrontal cortex, anterior insula, superior temporal pole, and dorsomedial frontal cortex. These findings suggest that the valence of reward information and counterfactual comparison more strongly predict a functional dissociation in frontal and striatal areas than do various stages of reward processing. These distinct but interactive systems may serve to guide human's reward-seeking behavior.

“…For example, some reviews have depicted the comorbidity of gambling disease with other diseases (Lorains et al, 2011), the association between impetuosity and gambling disorder (Dannon, Shoenfeld, Rosenberg, Kertzman, & Kotler, 2010), neurobiological aspects of gambling disorder (Goudriaan, Oosterlaan, de Beurs, & Van den Brink, 2004), the link between adhd and hazardous gambling conduct (Groen, Gaastra, LewisEvans, & Tucha, 2013), and the interrelation between the gambling disorder and pd (Santangelo, Barone, Trojano, & Vitale, 2013). In the next section, these and other recent revisions will de adressed.…”

Purpose: For the present review, publications in the field of gambling disorder that deal with its relationships with others, mainly attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd) and Parkinson's disease (pd) were consulted. Methods: The current revision includes a total of 63 references published between 1987 and 2017. It included human studies and revisions regarding the comorbidity of gambling disorder with adhd or pd. The search terms included: gambling disorder, gambling disorder comorbidity, gambling disorder and adhd, gambling disorder and pd, gambling disorder and impulsivity. The present review focused on the link among gambling disorder and adhd or pd, because there were a large number of publications related to these disorders. For organization purpose the current work was split into two main parts: 1) Revision of previous scientific reviews about gambling disorder, and 2) Overview and conclusions of experimental work about gambling disorder. Conclusions: The principal conclusions of the current review are: 1) subjects with a gambling disorder have a higher incidence of adhd (and also of attention deficit disorder [add]), 2) the presence of adhd in subjects that suffer of gambling disorder implies more challenges for the health care system, and 3) pd treatments that increase the agonism of dopamine type of receptor are related to an elevated probability for developing a gambling problem or an impulse control disorder.Keywords: adhd, comorbidity, disorder, dopamine receptor, gambling pd. ResumenObjetivo: para la presente revisión, se consultaron publicaciones en el campo de la ludopatía que tratan de sus relaciones con otros trastornos, principalmente el trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad (tdah) y la enfermedad de Parkinson (ep). Método: la presente revisión tiene en cuenta 63 referencias publicadas entre 1987 y 2017 y tuvo en cuenta estudios en humanos y revisiones sobre la comorbilidad de la ludopatía con el tdah o la ep. Los términos de la búsqueda incluyeron: ludopatía, comorbilidad de la ludopatía, ludopatía y tdah, ludopatía y ep, ludopatía e impulsividad. Esta revisión se centró en el vínculo entre la ludopatía y el tdah o la ep, puesto que existía un gran número de publicaciones relacionadas con estos trastornos. Para su organización, el presente trabajo se dividió en dos partes principales: 1) el análisis de revisiones científicas anteriores sobre la ludopatía y 2) el resumen y las conclusiones del trabajo experimental sobre la ludopatía. Conclusiones: las conclusiones principales de esta revisión son: 1) los sujetos con ludopatía tienen una mayor incidencia del tdah (y también del trastorno de déficit de atención [tda]), 2) la presencia del tdah en sujetos que sufren de ludopatía implica más retos para el sistema de salud y 3) los tratamientos de la ep que aumentan el agonismo del receptor tipo dopamina están relacionados con una probabilidad elevada de desarrollar un problema de juego o un trastorno de control de impulsos.Palabras clave: tdah, comorbilidad, trasto...
