许多证据表明，患有情绪和药物使用障碍的人对与他们的障碍相关的刺激表现出偏见的注意力。在成功治疗后，这种偏倚似乎会减少。两项研究检查了与非吸烟者相比，目前吸烟者是否对吸烟相关图像表现出偏见（研究1和2），以及这种偏见是否在前吸烟者中不那么明显（研究2）。使用点探测任务的注意偏向对与照片有关的。成对的图像（一张与吸烟有关）在电脑屏幕上并排出现500英寸，然后用一个探头（星号）代替其中一张照片。受试者尽可能快地敲击一个键来指示探针的位置。注意偏差被定义为当探针取代吸烟相关图像时反应时间更快。在这两项研究中，当前吸烟者对香烟刺激的注意力偏差明显大于非吸烟者。研究2中的前吸烟者显示出中等水平的偏倚，但偏倚评分与其他组无显著差异。这些结果支持进一步使用点探测任务作为非戒烟吸烟者和正在接受戒烟治疗的个人的注意力偏差的措施。(C)2002爱思唯尔科学爱尔兰有限公司保留所有权利。
Much evidence documents that individuals with emotional and drug-use disorders demonstrate biased attention toward stimuli associated with their disorder. This bias appears to diminish following successful treatment. Two studies examined whether current cigarette smokers show biased attention toward smoking-related images compared with non-smokers (Studies 1 and 2) and whether this bias is less pronounced in former smokers (Study 2). Attentional bias toward cigarette-related photographs was examined using the dot-probe task. Pairs of images (one smoking-related) appeared side by side for 500 ins on a computer screen prior to the presentation of a probe (an asterisk) replacing one of the photographs. Subjects struck a key as quickly as possible to indicate the probe location. Attentional bias was defined as faster reaction times when the probe replaced the smoking-related image. In both studies, current smokers displayed significantly greater attentional bias toward cigarette stimuli than did non-smokers. Former smokers in Study 2 displayed an intermediate level of bias, but did not differ significantly in bias score from either of the other groups. These results support further use of the dot-probe task as a measure of attentional bias in non-abstinent smokers and in individuals undergoing smoking cessation treatment.
