Elsevier Editorial System(tm) for Behaviour Research and Therapy Manuscript Draft Title: Visuospatial Tasks Suppress Craving for Cigarettes Visuospatial Tasks Suppress Craving for Cigarettes Visuospatial Suppression of Craving: 2
The Elaborated Intrusion (EI) theory of desire posits that visual imagery plays a key role in craving. We report a series of experiments testing this hypothesis in a drug addiction context. Experiment 1 showed that a mental visual imagery task with neutral content reduced cigarette craving in abstaining smokers, but that an equivalent auditory task did not. The effect of visual imagery was repl...
متن کاملVisuospatial tasks compared via activation of regional cerebral blood flow.
Regional cerebral blood flow was measured in 19 subjects during the performance of three tasks thought to primarily involve right hemisphere processing: judgement of line orientation, mental rotation of three-dimensional cube arrays, and a fragment puzzle task. Asymmetries in hemispheric flow (right side greater) were only observed in the line orientation and rotation conditions and were presen...
متن کاملEffects of visuospatial tasks on desensitization to emotive memories.
OBJECTIVES Intrusive memories of extreme trauma can disrupt a stepwise approach to imaginal exposure. Concurrent tasks that load the visuospatial sketchpad (VSSP) of working memory reduce the vividness of recalled images. This study tested whether relief of distress from competing VSSP tasks during imaginal exposure is at the cost of impaired desensitization. DESIGN This study examined repeat...
متن کاملVisuospatial Tasks Affect Locomotor Control More than Nonspatial Tasks in Older People
BACKGROUND Previous research has shown that visuospatial processing requiring working memory is particularly important for balance control during standing and stepping, and that limited spatial encoding contributes to increased interference in postural control dual tasks. However, visuospatial involvement during locomotion has not been directly determined. This study examined the effects of a v...
متن کاملThe Importance of Conditioned Stimuli in Cigarette and E-Cigarette Craving Reduction by E-Cigarettes
This study examined the impact of four variables pertaining to the use of e-cigarettes (e-cigs) on cravings for tobacco cigarettes and for e-cigs after an overnight abstinence period. The four variables were the nicotine level, the sensorimotor component, the visual aspect, and the aroma of the e-cig. In an experimental study, 81 participants without prior vaping experience first got acquainted...
