Participants provided breath carbon monoxide samples determining throughout study. different impulsiveness dimensions were evaluated with Go/NoGo task, visual search attention test delayed discount while self-informed impulsivity was assessed Barratt’s Impulsiveness Scale. Unplanned impulsivity, failures performance task postulated among individual factors related relapses. Our results contribute understanding components enable inference assiduity by quantifying relapse.
