Inhibitory control is affected by reward in patients with alcohol use disorder
Our findings demonstrated that either reward nor punishment effectively enhanced inhibitory control in AUD patients. Notably, the reward condition was associated with a further decline in inhibitory control. It is advisable to avoid relying solely on reward- or punishment-based behavioral correction strategies, as they might heighten psychological stress and negative emotions, potentially worsening deficits in inhibitory control.
