This article summarizes a symposium organized and cochaired by Maria Testa presented at the 2005 Annual Meeting of Research Society on Alcoholism, in Santa Barbara, California. The explored issues relevant to understanding function placebo conditions interpreting effects. Cochair Mark Fillmore began with an overview use alcohol research, focusing methodological issues. Jeanette Norris her colleagues conducted review studies examining among women. They conclude that expectancy effects are...
Alcoholic drink preferences in college students have made an interesting shift recently, with trends consumption leaning toward caffeinated alcohol various forms (e.g., Red Bull and vodka or beers such as Anheuser-Busch's B-to-the-E). Despite the dramatic rise popularity of these beverages, little research has examined combined effects caffeine, which is problematic for adequately informing public about risk lack thereof drinks. The purpose this study was to directly investigate acute alone...
Background: There has been a dramatic rise in the consumption of alcohol mixed with energy drinks (AmED) young people. AmED have implicated risky drinking practices and greater accidents injuries associated their consumption. Despite increased popularity these beverages (e.g., Red Bull vodka), there is little laboratory research examining how effects differ from alone. This experiment was designed to investigate if alters neurocognitive subjective measures intoxication compared Methods:...
ABSTRACT Aim Visual probe tasks are often used to measure attentional bias (AB) towards alcohol‐related images in drinkers, but little is known about the effect of properties this task: specifically, image complexity. Methods AB was examined a group adult drinkers ( n = 25). Two measures were obtained from modified visual task. First, traditional dot detection task measured based on their reaction times probes replacing neutral and images. Secondly, an eye‐tracking applied directly assess...
The current pair of experimental studies sought to further validate the role positive urgency (acting rashly when in an extreme emotional state) as a risk factor for impulsive and maladaptive behavior. Previous research has supported use emotion-based dispositions rash action predicting wide range acts. However, that was conducted field relied on self-reported behavior, thus lacking tight controls direct observation risky behaviors. In 2 described here, we found among college students (1)...
Background There has been a dramatic rise in the consumption of alcohol mixed with energy drinks ( A m EDs ) social drinkers. It suggested that ED beverages might lead individuals to drink greater quantities alcohol. This experiment was designed investigate whether s would alter priming (i.e., increasing ratings wanting another drink) compared alone. Methods Participants n = 80) equal gender attended 1 session where they were randomly assigned receive 4 doses (0.91 ml/kg vodka, 1.82 drink,...
The consumption of alcohol mixed with energy drinks (AmED) has become a popular and controversial practice among young people. Increased rates impaired driving injuries have been associated AmED consumption. purpose this study was to examine if the alters cognitive processing subjective measures intoxication compared alone. Eighteen participants (nine men nine women) attended four test sessions where they received one doses in random order (0.65 g/kg alcohol, 3.57 ml/kg drink, AmED, or...
Heavy episodic or "binge" drinking is commonly defined as 4-5 drinks per occasion (5/4 definition) that results in a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08%. The present study compared the validity each binge definition an indicator at-risk, problem drinking. Two hundred and fifty-one college students were classified nonbinge drinkers based on 5/4 .08% BAC definition. two definitions examined terms their sensitivity specificity indicators alcohol-related problems determined by scores...
Objective: This experiment tested the effect of cognitive and motivational conflict on response inhibition under alcohol. Method: Fifty-six male social drinkers were randomly assigned to one eight groups (n = 8). Four pairs received 0.62 g/kg alcohol, or a placebo, each pair performed go/stop choice reaction time task four conditions. One condition (C) produced by presenting "go" "stop" signals in task. Another (IR) added administering an equal monetary reward for inhibiting responses...
This study developed a model of impaired inhibitory control in humans to test the efficacy treatments for this deficit. Male social drinkers (N = 35) practiced "go-stop" task that measured response inhibition. They then were assigned 1 5 groups (n 7) performed under different treatment. The was provided by administering 0.62 g/kg alcohol group (A), whose inhibition compared with placebo (P). other 3 received plus treatment designed ameliorate impairment control: behavioral reinforcement (B),...
ABSTRACT Aims Studies have shown that alcohol impairs the ability to inhibit behavioral responses in humans and some evidence suggests men might display greater impairment than women. The present study compared women degree which a moderate dose of impaired their inhibitory control at comparable blood concentrations. Design Twelve male 12 female adult social drinkers received (0.65 g/kg) placebo counterbalanced order performed cued go/no‐go task measured execute responses. Findings When...
The present study examined the effects of alcohol on ability to execute and inhibit behavior in a context which preliminary information signaled likelihood that response should be executed or suppressed. Social drinkers (N = 12) performed cued go/no-go task required quick responses go targets suppression no-go targets. Performance was tested under 3 doses alcohol: 0.65 g/kg, 0.45 0.0 g/kg (placebo). Alcohol had no effect inhibition execution when cues correctly these actions. By contrast,...
This study examined dose-response effects of oral cocaine on the inhibitory control behavior in adult users using two different behavioral models control.Adults (n = 12) with a history use performed stop-signal and cue-dependent go-no-go task to measure response range HCl doses (0, 100, 200 300 mg).Although both tasks showed cocaine-induced facilitation control, functions differed depending measures. The revealed quadratic function cued more orderly, linear improvement as dose.The evidence...
Acute alcohol tolerance refers to the observation of reduced impairment at a given blood concentration (BAC) on descending versus ascending limb curve. Psychomotor performance measures used in human studies provide reliable assessments but do not identify specific mechanisms involved re-establishment control, and little is known about how acute expressed terms changes fundamental that regulate control behavior. This study examined expression impaired behavioral drinker's ability activate...
Heavy episodic alcohol use, or binge drinking, is a serious public health problem. Binge drinking endemic in college students and has resulted numerous alcohol-related tragedies, including acute poisonings, falls, automobile collisions. Such negative outcomes might occur because drinkers are generally more impulsive, this impulsivity be exacerbated under alcohol. The purpose of study was to examine hypothesis by comparing the effects on cognitive measure behavioral control nonbinge drinkers....
