چکیده

Several studies have provided empirical support for S. T. Tiffany's (1990) hypothesis that drug urges interfere with cognitive performance. The authors examined the persistence of this effect. Results from an experiment involving 48 smokers and 46 nonsmokers, using a paradigm developed by R. A. Zwaan and T. P. Truitt (1998), suggest that the effect of smoking urges in cognitive performance dissipates over time. The implications of this finding for cognitive theories of drug urges and for future research on the effects of smoking urges are discussed.

When addicted individuals are exposed to drug-related stimuli, dopamine release is thought to mediate incentive salience attribution, increasing attentional bias, craving and drug seeking.

Here, we administered the dopamine D2/D3 ago...
