“…While most of these measures likely tap more than one aspect of executive functioning, it is believed that certain measures may be more selective for specific executive domains. Fernandez-Serrano et al, (2011) provides a summary of the various measures used to assess each executive domain.…”

“…In this context, addictive disorders have been defined as a pathology of motivation and decision making [2,3] and are considered a disease of the brain that can be treated [4]. Consumption of psychoactive substances has been consistently associated with the presence of alterations in different neuropsychological processes: memory, attention or executive functions [5][6][7][8][9], neuropsychological alterations present even after prolonged periods of abstinence [10]. Also, in a more applied area, there is a growing interest in the improvement of neurocognitive rehabilitation procedures in its application to the treatment of addictions [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] and other comorbid conditions such as the acquired immunodeficiency virus [18,19 ].…”

SummaryThe consumption of psychoactive substances has been consistently associated with the presence of alterations in different neuropsychological processes. In recent years there is a growing interest in improving neurocognitive rehabilitation procedures as applied to the treatment of addictions. In this context arises therapeutic game "The trisquel" in order to address, in a more dynamic and closer, the treatment of cognitive and social rehabilitation of drug dependent patients. The Trisquel is a rehabilitation program awareness deficit in the format of board game with a dynamic similar to the popular trivial, that, after eight years of experience working with patients and professionals, can be considered a therapeutic tool useful. Helps reduce distances therapist. Patient, reinforces the group feeling, evaluates the cognitive functions of the participants. In addition, each professional can adapt it to their daily needs. Throughout this article will be described the justification, the antecedents, the sessions, the dynamics and the last advances of this therapeutic game.

“…One factor that has recently come to the fore in the etiology of addiction, especially the causes of relapse, is the impaired neurocognitive function of the prefrontal cortex [7,8]. Even though the relationship is not clear yet, researchers believe that impaired neuropsychological functions are one cause of addiction; additionally, drug intake per se leads to the emergence and/or increase of neuropsychological problems [8].…”

SummaryAim: To investigate the effect of cognitive restructuring training on neurocognitive functions related to the prefrontal cortex in opioid addicts and its relationship to relapse prevention. Method:Thirty opioid addicts who completed a 21-day detoxification program were randomly placed in experimental and control groups. Before and after the training, the subjects underwent urinalysis and were tested on the Addiction-Stroop Task, Iowa Gambling Task, Wisconsin Card Sorting test and Emotion Recognition Scale.Results: Decision-making and emotion recognition were improved after the training course, but no significant difference was observed in attention bias, cognitive flexibility and relapse. Conclusions:Cognitive restructuring training and improvement of some neuropsychological functions are not enough to prevent relapse, and attention bias and cognitive flexibility should be adjusted.cognitive restructuring/neurocognitive function/addiction/relapse
