Flor H, Vollstädt-Klein S. DFG - Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft : CRC TRR 265: Project C01: Modification of the imbalance between goal-directed and habitual behavior in human addiction. 07/2019-06/2023.
In this study, we aim to assess the imbalance between goal-directed and habitual behavior, its neural basis and how it can be modified in treatment-seeking smokers, using two training interventions. The first intervention (cognitive remediation treatment focusing on improving inhibitory control and executive functions) is hypothesized to affect top-down processing, whereas the second intervention (a learning approach through implicit priming and contextual modulation) is suggested to modify bottom-up processes.
