increased
brain results due to depression: (3)
- executive functioning/ higher order cognitive impairments
- attenuated reward response to non drug related stimuli
- attentional bias to drug related cues
during incongruent condition during troop test takes ____ when its an addiction related word
longer
differences were shown in cognitive conflict condition connected to areas of brain associated with:
dorsal anterior cingulate, cognitive control
disease model debate:
frames disease as a condition that involved deviating from some normative standard of well being and social adjustment
what does the diseases model debate do for people?
may relieve people addicted to substances of debilitating feelings of guilt for their condition

doesn’t allow humans to take responsibility, won’t be held responsible for criminal behavior, may reduce sentence length, doesn’t account for remission or recovery, who does the debate apply to? all races?
main object of debate for disease model debate:
free will
risk factors:
biological, psychological, family, community, and SE factors that are associated with increased likelihood of negative outcomes
fixed or individual level factors:
they don’t change over time
variable factors:
can change over time
variable factor example:
peer group
example of fixed factor:
drinking while pregnant
levels of prevention:
primary, secondary, tertiary
primary:
keeps problem from occurring. aka education, healthy relationships, exposure reduction
secondary:
