Abstract

Aim: To assess objectively prospective memory (PM) performance of individuals with alcohol dependence and determine whether the use of an imagery technique at the point of encoding can enhance their performance. Design: An independent group design was used to compare individuals with alcohol dependence with social drinkers. Setting: One UK residential substance misuse service. Participants: Twenty‐four abstinent ‘individuals with alcohol dependence’ and 24 social drinkers matched on age, gender and years of education. Measurements: The virtual week (VW); story recall; a category fluency task; trail‐making test (TMT); a single digit cancellation task (SDCT); spot‐the‐word; S tate–T rait A nxiety I nventory (STAI); B eck D epression I nventory (BDI‐II); and the S everity of A lcohol D ependence Q uestionnaire (SAD‐Q) Findings: Event‐based PM task performance of individuals with alcohol dependence was associated strongly with indices of alcohol usage (P < 0.001), and was impaired significantly compared to that of social drinkers (P < 0.001). Imagining improved social drinkers' time‐based PM but not that of individuals with alcohol dependence. Conclusions: Individuals with alcohol dependence may experience prospective memory deficits which may be due to difficulties with effective strategy application.

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.

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.
