Abstract
Previous research has shown that top-down cognitive control is increased in the presence of conflicting stimuli (sequential modulation effect, SME). One explanation for the SME implicates the Anterior Cingulate Cortex in top-down cognitive control (Botvinick, Braver, Barch, Carter & Cohen, 2001). The SME has also been shown to be modulated by negative emotional cues (Padmala, Bauer & Pessoa, 2011 et al). Here we report on a study to see whether alcohol cues can modulate the SME using a face-word Stroop task in a group of social drinkers (problem and non-problem drinkers). Our results demonstrate that in a group of problem drinkers alcohol cues reduce the SME indicating a reduction in top-down cognitive control.
