The role of self-reported impulsivity and reward sensitivity <i>versus</i> neurocognitive measures of disinhibition and decision-making in the prediction of relapse in pathological gamblers

Duration of the disorder and neurocognitive measures of disinhibition and decision-making are powerful predictors of relapse in pathological gambling. The results suggest that endophenotypical neurocognitive characteristics are more promising in the prediction of relapse in pathological gambling than phenotypical personality characteristics. Neurocognitive predictors may be useful to guide treatment planning of follow-up contacts and booster sessions.
