Patients with schizophrenia and alcohol use disorder show different decision-making profiles, with each group performing worse on executive functioning tasks.
Participants with alcohol use disorder exhibited riskier decision-making in the Game of Dice Task, while only they preferred the disadvantageous deck in the Iowa Gambling Task.
The study utilized an n-back task to assess executive functioning, revealing that deficits in reflective and impulsive decision-making systems vary by group.
Findings suggest that both schizophrenia and alcohol use disorder may benefit from cognitive flexibility training, but further well-matched studies are necessary.
