BACKGROUND Impulsivity is one crucial personality trait associated with various maladaptive behavior and many mental disorders. In the study reported here, we investigated the relationship between impulsivity and morphological connectivity (MC) between human brain regions, a newly proposed measure for brain coordination through the development and learning. METHOD Twenty-four participants' T1...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The present study tested whether the associations among motivational, cognitive, and personality correlates of problem gambling severity differed across university student gamblers (n = 123) and gamblers in the general adult community (n = 113). METHODS The participants completed a survey that included standardized measures of gambling motivation, gambling related cognitio...

Dual-process models from the cognitive literature have proposed a taxonomy of cognitive failures in everyday activities, and this novel approach was applied to understanding driver behaviour. This framework was used to examine whether categories of cognitive failure would explain driving errors, driving lapses, and driving violations in a sample of undergraduates at a large urban university. Tw...

• Cognitive functions under methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) were assessed. Delay discounting increases, but other forms of impulsivity are normal in patients. Impaired associative learning MMT patients is related to depression and anxiety symptoms. Increased delay craving correlated with impulsive personality scores. Cue-induced drug modulated by withdrawal Methadone effective decreasing ...

BACKGROUND Several studies have highlighted the implications of impulsivity and novelty seeking for both the maintenance and the process of recovery from bulimia nervosa (BN). Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the treatment of choice for BN, but for some cases, this treatment alone might not be sufficient for reducing the high levels of impulsivity. The paper presents a case report of a pat...

Impulsivity may lead to several unfortunate consequences and maladaptive behaviors for both clinical and nonclinical people. It has a key role in many forms of psychopathology. Although literature has discussed the negative impact of impulsivity, few have emphasized the relationship between cognitive impulsiveness and decision making. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of cogni...

One of the determinants food intake, impulsivity may contribute to development and maintenance obesity by triggering uncontrolled excessive eating. It is estimated that increased makes it harder resist foods high in sugar, salt fat. Evidence has been increasing recent years regarding roles different components some eating behaviors (especially uncontrolled, emotional restrictive eating). Unfort...

Separate cognitive processes govern the inhibitory control of manual and oculomotor movements. Despite this fundamental distinction, little is known about how these inhibitory control processes relate to more complex domains of behavioral functioning. This study sought to determine how these inhibitory control mechanisms relate to broadly defined domains of impulsive behavior. Thirty adults wit...
