MonCOG: Validating a neurocognitive framework and developing a purpose-built assessment tool for addictions

对药物、酒精或其他行为成瘾（如赌博）的人的临床评估传统上依赖于测量行为本身的频率和严重程度，而不是导致这些问题的潜在大脑过程。这项研究将测试成瘾的神经认知框架-来自该领域的世界领先专家小组-以建立对驱动成瘾的核心过程的统一，科学的理解。

The clinical assessment of people with drug, alcohol or other behavioural addictions (e.g. gambling) has traditionally relied on measuring the frequency and severity of the behaviour itself, and not the underlying brain-based processes that lead to these problems. This study will test a neurocognitive framework for addictions - derived from a panel of world leading experts in the field - to establish a unifying, scientifically-informed understanding of the core processes driving addictions.
