Abstract

Aims Neurocognitive functions in pathological gambling have relevance for the aetiology and treatment of this disorder, yet are poorly understood. This study therefore investigated neurocognitive impairments of executive functions in a group of carefully screened Diagnostic and Statistical Manual version IV (DSM‐IV‐TR) pathological gamblers. Performance was compared to a group of normal control participants. To study the specificity of these neurocognitive deficits, a substance dependence group (alcohol dependence) and an impulse control disorder group (Tourette syndrome) were included. Design Cross‐sectional study. Setting Addiction and general mental health treatment centres. Participants Forty‐nine pathological gamblers, 48 abstinent alcohol‐dependent patients, 46 participants with Tourette syndrome and 49 normal control participants. Measurements A comprehensive neuropsychological battery measuring executive functions as well as basic cognitive functions. Findings Both the pathological gambling and the alcohol dependent groups were characterized by diminished performance on inhibition, time estimation, cognitive flexibility and planning tasks. The Tourette syndrome group showed deficits only on inhibition tasks. Basic cognitive functions were intact in all clinical groups. Comorbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, antisocial personality disorder and nicotine dependence influenced the impaired functions of the clinical groups only minimally. Conclusions Carefully screened groups of pathological gamblers and alcohol dependents were characterized by diminished executive functioning, suggesting a dysfunction of frontal lobe circuitry in these disorders. The resemblance between the pathological gambling group and the alcohol dependence group suggests a common neurocognitive aetiology for these disorders. Psychosocial treatment of these disorders could benefit from assessing and targeting deficits in executive functions, as they probably influence the course of these disorders negatively.

  • The paper relies on this without support.

    Several DSM-IV-TR criteria for pathological gambling resemble those of substance dependence, including loss of control, tolerance, withdrawal and negative consequences.

    “Several DSM-IV-TR criteria for PG resemble those of substance dependence, such as loss of control, tolerance, withdrawal and the experience of negative consequences due to the gambling-related behaviour”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    Pathological gambling, substance dependence and impulse control disorders share behavioural deficits in self-regulation, manifested as an impaired ability to inhibit the urge for the desired behaviour or drug.

    “these disorders are all characterized by behavioural deficits in self-regulation, as manifested in an impaired ability to inhibit the urge for the desired behaviour or drug.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    Executive function deficits probably influence the course of pathological gambling and alcohol dependence negatively.

    “as they probably influence the course of these disorders negatively.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-07, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).

A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-07 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
