Contribution of cocaine-related cues to concurrent monetary choice in humans.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale

Theoretical accounts highlight the importance of drug-related cues for the development and persistence of drug-taking behavior. Few studies have evaluated the ability of spatially contiguous drug cues to bias decisions between two concurrently presented non-drug reinforcers.

Objective

Evaluate the contribution of spatially contiguous cocaine cues to choice between two concurrently presented monetary reinforcers METHODS: Participants with cocaine use disorder completed a cued concurrent choice task. Two cues (one cocaine and one control image) were presented side-by-side followed by concurrent monetary offers below each image. Concurrent choice was measured for cocaine-side advantageous, equal, and disadvantageous concurrent monetary offers. The primary dependent me
