“…And is there a relation between GMV and decision making measures in PG patients? As predicted, based on the majority of findings on impulsivity and decision making in PG (3,5,6,(10)(11)(12), our results showed that PG patients exhibit impaired decision making and multiple increased impulsivity dimensions compared to a control group.…”

“…Besides decision making deficits, pathological gamblers also display an increased level of impulsivity (4,7,(9)(10)(11)(12) and in studies investigating non-clinical samples higher impulsivity measures usually correlates with impaired decision making (13)(14)(15)(16). However, we found only two studies investigating the relation between decision making and impulsivity in a PG sample and their methodical approaches and results differed considerably (8,17).…”

“…The present study aimed to extend the investigation of inhibitory control in GD, by testing, for the first time in this disorder, the integrity of incidental inhibitory control over interfering episodic memories, along with the more frequently investigated motor response inhibition. Given the documented similarities between GD ad SRD as concerns inhibitory performance (Kertzman et al, 2017;Leeman & Potenza, 2012), we expected to observe an impairment of cognitive inhibition in GD patients, as earlier reported in SRD patients tested with the same experimental paradigms employed here (Stramaccia et al, 2017b). Unexpectedly, the RIF effect, indexing cognitive inhibition in the memory domain, was not statistically different across groups, thus suggesting a preserved ability to inhibit interfering episodic memories in GD patients.…”

“…Consistent with Stramaccia et al (2017b), we expected patients with GD to exhibit higher scores of self-rated impulsivity than controls. Based on recent evidence showing impairments of different inhibitory components in GD (Kertzman, Vainder, Aizer, Kotler, & Dannon, 2017), and given the similarity of GD and SRD with respect to various inhibitory deficits indexed by response and choice impulsivity (Leeman & Potenza, 2012), we expected a cognitive inhibition impairment in our sample, similar to that reported for patients with SRD (e.g., No€ el et al, 2009;Stramaccia et al, 2017b;Zou, Zhang, Huang, & Weng, 2011). Correlations between task performance and questionnaire scores were expected, with self-report gambling features being mainly associated to inhibitory deficits.…”

Background and aimsMany psychopathologies, including addictions, are characterized by inhibitory control deficits. In this regard, recent studies on substance-related disorders (SRD) have shown an impairment in the ability to inhibit potentially interfering memories, despite preserved motor inhibition. To investigate whether the same dissociation could also characterize gambling disorder (GD) in a transdiagnostic perspective, we tested both cognitive and motor inhibitory processes through dedicated tasks, for the first time in this behavioral addiction.Methods30 outpatients with GD and 30 healthy controls performed a go/no-go task addressing the integrity of motor inhibition, and the Retrieval Practice Paradigm, a task addressing the integrity of memory inhibition as indexed by the Retrieval-Induced Forgetting (RIF) effect. Self-report questionnaires assessing impulsivity were also administered.ResultsWhereas RIF was similar across the two groups, patients showed more commission errors in the go/no-go task, and higher self-rated scores of impulsivity than controls.DiscussionThe present findings suggest preserved memory inhibition and impaired motor response inhibition in GD, a pattern of inhibitory deficits opposite to that previously reported for SRD. Therefore, although both GD and SRD are characterized by altered inhibitory processing, a more fine-grained analysis revealed a specific inhibitory profile indicating vulnerability in different inhibitory components.ConclusionThe present study highlights the need to investigate the multifaceted construct of inhibition more thoroughly, using performance measures able to assess its various components. This approach would enable to both better characterize different psychopathologies and orient their treatment.

“…According to the I 3 model (Finkel et al, 2014), aggression is partially driven by lack of inhibition. Inhibition, or lack thereof, is a key component of impulsivity (Bari & Robbins, 2013;Kertzman et al, 2017).…”

Transcranial direct current stimulation can sometimes cause the opposite of its intended effect. These reverse effects may be related in part to individual differences in personality and neurochemistry. Previous studies have demonstrated that dopamine levels can impact the effects of tDCS. In the present study, 124 healthy participants took the UPPS Impulsive Behavior scale. Participants then underwent a single, randomized anodal or sham tDCS session on the prefrontal cortex. While the effects of tDCS were still active, they performed the Stop Signal Task, a measure of state impulsivity. tDCS was associated with increased errors on this task in people who had higher scores on the UPPS in two facets of impulsivity that correlate with dopamine levels. tDCS had no effects on people low in trait impulsivity. These results suggest that the reverse effects of tDCS could be associated with inter-individual differences in personality and neurochemistry.
