“…The majority of previous studies that explored alcohol effects on cognitive flexibility were done with rodents, using a cross‐sectional study design, and demonstrated that EtOH exposure (vapor cambers, intragastric injections) attenuates cognitive flexibility (e.g., Gass et al, ; Sey et al, ). Additionally, in nonhuman primate models of alcohol drinking, chronic alcohol attenuated major executive functions supporting behavioral flexibility, such as working memory, visual discrimination, response time, and accuracy (Chandler et al, ; Crean et al, ; Taffe et al, ; Wright and Taffe, ). In this study, following the chronic alcohol consumption, monkeys, as a group, had nearly identical performance as a control group on the set‐shift task assessed in a sober condition when the testing parameters were the same as before alcohol drinking (Fig.…”
