Alcohol cues were presented under masked and unmasked conditions in a dot\u2010probe task, and AB was measured via reaction times. Patients also reported alcohol craving and dependence levels. The study assessed whether AB patterns differed between clinical and healthy groups, whether cue awareness modulated attentional processing, and whether alcohol\u2010type preference within the clinical sample influenced AB. Finally, associations between craving, dependence, and AB were explored.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>As predicted, unmasked alcohol cues elicited significant AB in both inpatient and outpatient groups, but not in healthy controls. No significant AB emerged in masked trials for any subgroup, suggesting that alcohol\u2010related AB is not fully automatic but depends on conscious awareness. Patients reporting current craving showed greater AB than those without craving. However, AB magnitude did not correlate with craving intensity, AUD severity scores, or alcohol\u2010type preference.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
