Attentional bias in addictive behaviors: a review of its development, causes, and consequences
A wealth of research from the past two decades shows that addictive behaviors are
characterized by attentional biases for substance-related stimuli. We review the relevant …

Effects of a low dose of alcohol on cognitive biases and craving in heavy drinkers
Rationale Heavy alcohol drinking increases the incentive salience of alcohol-related cues.
This leads to increased appetitive motivation to drink alcohol as measured by subjective …
