Why Talk About Inhibitory Control in the Context of Drug Addiction?
I-RISA Syndrome of Drug Addiction R.Z. Goldstein and N.D. Volkow, Am. J. Psychiatry 2002;159:1642
Circuits of Addiction reward prediction & core substrates of pleasure learning & memory main substrates of conditioning motivation, drive & salience cognitive control
PART I • What do we mean by “inhibitory control deficits”? Impulsivity? • How are inhibitory control deficits related to impulsivity?
Impulsivity: Inability to control behavior Personality Measure Related to Inhibitory Control ● psychopathic personality ● sociopathic personality ● ADHD● conduct disorder Measures: Barratt Impulsivity Scale Relevant scales of Personality Inventories: TPQ, Eysenck extroversion, venturesomeness, sensation-seeking
Deficits in Inhibitory Control Operationally: Inability to Inhibit Pre-potent Responses ● motor control: (Go/No GO tasks, SST) ** ● cognitive control allocation of cognitive resources: focusing of attention (Stroop task) sustaining attention (CPT) ** shifting set (reversal learning, WCST) ** ●emotional control conscious & unconscious: reappraisal techniques (CBT) labeling tasks **animal tests possible
Deficits in Inhibitory Control Risky Decision-Making ● Gambling Task ● Rogers Task ● Balloon Analogue Risk Task Delay Discounting

PART Il What evidence indicates that addicted humans have deficits in inhibitory control? ● cognitive assessments ● structural brain imaging ● functional brain imaging
