Deficits in executive function are common methamphetamine use disorder (MUD), likely contributing to difficulties sustained treatment success. Cognitive remediation interventions designed treat such deficits but have not been adapted the needs of people with MUD.

Abstract Maximizing tendency has been associated with greater accumulation of choice alternatives prior to selection a preference. It is not known whether this search behavior extends situations in which new comes the potential loss existing ones. In Study 1, we replicate original finding alternatives, using computer‐based laboratory task. We then provide evidence, Studies 2 and 3, that when options incorporated into task, maximization less rather than more for additional options....

This study aimed (1) tailor GMT the key deficits typical duration of MUD; (2) explore...
