However, evidence in cocaine dependence is limited and mixed. This study examined the time course and component processes of attentional biases for cocaine-related cues in a sample of 47 outpatients (38 men) with cocaine use disorder (CUD) with varying durations of current abstinence. Reaction times in a visual dot-probe task with two picture exposure durations \u2014500\u2009ms, to assess initial stages of attention, and 2,000\u2009ms, to assess maintained attention\u2014 were recorded. We found faster responses to probes replacing cocaine-related vs. matched control pictures in the 500\u2009ms but not in the 2,000\u2009ms condition, indicative of early but not late attentional biases for cocaine cues in abstinent patients with CUD. Further comparisons with a neutral baseline revealed that it was not due to rapid orienting but to delayed disengagement from cocaine-related pictures, being this effect greater the longer the period of current abstinence. Consistent with the incentive-sensitization theory, these data suggest that cocaine-related stimuli maintain the capacity to hold spatial attention in abstinent patients with CUD, even after months of abstinence, highlighting the relevance of carrying out stimulus control to avoid relapses.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2024.1290890","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,31]],"date-time":"2024-01-31T04:35:22Z","timestamp":1706675722000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Attentional biases in abstinent patients with cocaine use disorder: rapid orienting or delayed disengagement?"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Victoria","family":"Branchadell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rosario","family":"Poy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pilar","family":"Segarra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pablo","family":"Ribes-Guardiola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Javier","family":"Molt\u00f3","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","volume-title":"Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders","year":"2013"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"113","DOI":"10.1016\/j.comppsych.2013.08.011","article-title":"An investigation of the relationship between borderline personality disorder and cocaine-related attentional bias following trauma cue exposure: the moderating role of gender","volume":"55","author":"Bardeen","year":"2014","journal-title":"Compr.
