Project description

Attention biases seem to play a role in addictive behaviour. Our goal is to examine these attentional biases using the Attentional Blink pradigm. We will focus on psychometric properties of the paradigm, the predictive value the task has for the clinical practice, and different components of attention that van be examined with this task.
