“…The autobiographical memory test results confirm the prevalence of a more general memory retrieval mode in these patients, as it has been already established in the literature (Gandolphe, & Nandrino, 2011; Gandolphe et al, 2013). According to the CaRFAX model described by Williams (2006), reduced specificity can be considered an emotional avoidance strategy.…”

“…Despite the fact that few studies have focused on overgeneral autobiographical memory in substance consumers, the literature indicates the existence of this phenomenon in alcohol-dependent patients (D’Argembeau, Van Der Linden, Verbanck, & Noël, 2006), in cannabis users, and in opioid-dependent patients (Gandolphe & Nandrino, 2011; Gandolphe, Nandrino, Hancart, & Vosgien, 2013), as well as an impoverishment of autobiographical memories among opiate-dependent patients (Eiber, Puel, & Schmitt, 1999). The hypothesis of reduced specificity as a functional avoidance of emotion in opioid-dependent patients has never been studied, despite the fact that other cognitive avoidance strategies have been apparent in substance-dependent patients (Aldao & Nolen-Hoeksema, 2010; Aldao et al, 2010).…”

This study investigates the reduced specificity of autobiographical memories in opioid-dependent patients and examines whether this phenomenon corresponds to an avoidance strategy in opioiddependent patients and among the general population. Thirty opioid-dependent patients and 30 control participants were given Williams' and Scott's Autobiographical Memory Test (AMT) to evaluate the level of memory specificity. The use of cognitive avoidance strategy was measured with the Cognitive Avoidance Questionnaire (CAQ) and the level of depression with the Beck Depression 13 inventory (BDI 13). The AMT results confirm reduced memory specificity in the dependent patients, both for dependent patients with a depression diagnosis and for nondepressive dependent patients. Results also depict that the more participants (patients and control) use cognitive strategies of avoidance, the less they recall specific memories with the AMT. These data support the emotional avoidance hypothesis of reduced memory specificity in opioid-dependent patients and in the general population, regardless of a diagnosis of depression. Further research is needed to identify the emotion regulation function of reduced specificity in dependent patients. Furthermore, our findings do not exclude the implication of other mechanisms within autobiographical memory retrieval bias for dependent patients, such as a deficit of executive control.

“…Concerning the lack of specificity of the memories, this result is consistent with the observation of Cuervo‐Lombard and colleagues () in recently detoxified AUD patients and in studies using cue words to initiate the recall of memories (e.g., using the Autobiographical Memory Test) both in individuals with AUD (D'Argembeau et al., ; Whiteley et al., ) or with other substance addictions (Gandolphe and Nandrino, ; Gandolphe et al., ). Whatever the method used, the results showed that patients with AUD overgeneralized their AM, including SDM.…”

The results underline the construction of a form of SDM with drinking problems that is mainly characterized by the disruption of positive memory and the presence of highly specific and integrated negative experiences. A disruption of the integration process modulated by the valence of memories could have repercussions on maintaining a sense of personal identity, the pursuit of personal goals and on social adaptability, and could constitute one of the main risks associated with persistent drinking problems. These results highlight the relevance of developing AM training programs for patients with AUD.

“…Hazardous substance use has been conceptualized as a pathology of memory, as substance use and cravings for substances may be triggered by activation of memories related to past substance use when exposed to substance-related reminders (Gisquet-Verrier & Le Dorze, 2019). Further, evidence suggests that individuals at every phase of addiction-those who are using, those diagnosed with a substance use disorder, and those pursuing recovery-retrieve fewer specific memories (Cuervo-Lombard et al, 2016;Gandolphe & Nandrino, 2011;Gandolphe et al, 2013aGandolphe et al, , 2013bPillersdorf & Scoboria, 2019).…”

Associations between positive memory count and hazardous substance use in a trauma‐exposed sample: Examining the moderating role of emotion dysregulation

Objectives Research has demonstrated links between autobiographical memory retrieval and hazardous substance use. However, limited work has examined relations between positive autobiographical memories and hazardous substance use, as well as moderating factors influencing these relations. Thus, we examined the potential moderating roles of negative and positive emotion dysregulation in the relations between count of retrieved positive memories and hazardous substance use (alcohol and drug use separately). Methods Participants were 333 trauma‐exposed students (Mage = 21.05; 85.9% women) who completed self‐report measures assessing positive memory count, hazardous alcohol and drug use, negative emotion dysregulation, and positive emotion dysregulation. Results Positive emotion dysregulation significantly moderated the association between positive memory count and hazardous alcohol use (b = 0.04, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.01, 0.06], p = 0.019), as well as the association between positive memory count and hazardous drug use (b = 0.02, 95% CI [0.01, 0.03], p = 0.002). Individuals with more positive emotion dysregulation had stronger associations between increases in positive memory count and increased hazardous substance use. Conclusion Findings indicate that trauma‐exposed individuals who retrieve more positive memories and experience difficulties regulating positive emotions report greater hazardous substance use. Positive emotion dysregulation may be an important target for memory‐based interventions among trauma‐exposed individuals who report hazardous substance use.
