Behavioural and Neural Reliability of a Pavlovian-to-Instrumental Transfer Task.

ABSTRACT: The use of Pavlovian-to-instrumental transfer (PIT) in addiction research is on the rise as a means of assessing an individual's susceptibility to interference between Pavlovian and instrumental control over behaviour. However, the reliability of PIT tasks has been rarely assessed.The present study provides an investigation of the reliability of PIT, both on a behavioural and neural level, examining split-half as well as test-retest reliability. We assessed two different samples: (1) a mixed detoxified alcohol-dependent sample (with controls) comprising 119 behavioural and 69 fMRI datasets assessed twice within 3-4 weeks and (2) a developmental sample with 117 behavioural and 91 fMRI datasets assessed twice after 3 years. We computed two behavioural parameters of PIT (interference and moti
