Summary: The study revealed that individuals with high avoidance attachment demonstrated reduced Error Related Negativity (ERN) during a task, even in the absence of social or emotional cues. This suggests that individuals with more avoidant attachment exhibit less self-monitoring through perceptual error detection during tasks that induce error-commission, even in situations without social content.

Summary: This study examined the impact of baseline and daily self-efficacy on setting daily abstinence plans in pre-quit smokers. The results indicate that self-efficacy plays an important role in helping pre-quit smokers to make and stick to their quitting plans. The study also suggests that smoking behavior and previous abstinence plan setting on the previous day can influence the success of participants' smoking cessation plans.

Summary: Strict eating routines and frequent rigid behavior patterns are commonly observed in patients with anorexia nervosa. This study found that habits were more likely to develop in anorexia nervosa patients compared to healthy controls, both in food intake and hygiene habits, and a lower body mass index was associated with increased habit frequency in anorexia nervosa. This research is important for further development of the habit theory of anorexia nervosa and the development of innovative therapeutic interventions.

Summary: Ambulatory monitoring is increasingly used in mental and somatic health care to capture individuals' wellbeing or treatment course. The use of experience sampling method and digital devices allows for collection of subjective and objective time-series data. Combining these data types can revolutionize health care, but existing guidelines lack direction on how to effectively integrate them. The study emphasizes the importance of approaching experience sampling and parallel data as a holistic time series from the study design stage, with a focus on understanding variable fluctuations and ensuring compatibility. Recommendations are provided for device selection, data management, and analysis.

Summary: Advancements in mobile technology provide new possibilities for studying changes in suicidal ideation in everyday life. This study examined the temporal changes in suicidal thoughts among high-risk adolescents during inpatient hospitalization and after discharge and found distinct longitudinal profiles related to hopelessness and self-efficacy. The findings highlight the importance of closely monitoring suicidal ideation to identify persistent patterns and suggest that addressing hopelessness and improving self-efficacy may help reduce persistent ideation.

Summary: This study examined the electrocortical measures of error monitoring in early adolescents with and without OCD, using a data-driven, cluster-based approach. The results showed that participants with OCD exhibited increased error-related negativity and error-related theta, as well as reduced error-related beta power compared to those without OCD. The findings suggest that pediatric OCD may be characterized by enhanced error monitoring and post-error inhibition.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that impulsivity fluctuates over time, but state impulsivity does not appear to be significantly associated with clinical characteristics among psychiatric inpatients with depression. However, the daily variability of passive suicidal ideation is prospectively related to state impulsivity.

Summary: This study investigated whether the late positive potential (LPP), a neural marker of attention and stimulus processing, could predict the response to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The results showed that higher LPP responses to negative stimuli were predictive of lower self-reported OCD symptoms after completion of CBT. The findings suggest that patients with increased emotional reactivity may benefit more from CBT, possibly through reduced avoidance of anxiety-provoking stimuli. The LPP shows promise as a prognostic marker for CBT response in OCD, but further research is needed.

Summary: This study aims to examine whether personality traits can predict the course of addictive behaviors, and found that higher neuroticism, lower conscientiousness, lower agreeableness, higher extraversion, lower openness, higher reward sensitivity, and lower punishment sensitivity are moderately to highly associated with increased addictive behaviors over time, with stronger predictive associations observed for non-substance related addictive behaviors.

Summary: Human behavior often consists of repeated action sequences that become automatic or habitual through extensive repetition. However, we are also required to react flexibly and in a goal-directed manner in response to events in our environment. In this study, we developed a novel behavioral paradigm to investigate how implicitly learned action sequences interfere with goal-directed control.

Summary: The study found that hypoactivation in the right inferior frontal gyrus during inhibition is specifically related to substance-related problems in individuals with SUDs. Interestingly, increased activity in the same region may serve as a resilience factor in substance use without SUDs. Future research should differentiate between processes linked to the degree of substance use and substance-related problems to better understand why some substance users develop SUDs while others do not.

Summary: Self-control refers to the ability to resist current desires and behave consistently with long-term goals. However, a conceptual paradox arises when a person strongly desires to perform a behavior (e.g., eat chocolate) and at the same time desires to exert self-control to prevent it. A detailed analysis reveals that three common assumptions about self-control cannot be true simultaneously. A taxonomy of self-control processes is proposed to organize current theories based on the assumptions they abandon.

Summary: Craving, induced by substance-related cues, plays a crucial role in continued substance use and relapse. Regulation of craving (ROC) is essential for successful treatment, and engaging with the risks of drug use (reappraisal) may be more beneficial than avoiding craving triggers (distraction). However, these effects do not seem to be mediated by lasting changes in cue-related motivated attention (LPP).

Summary: This article provides an overview of the mechanisms underlying goal-directed and habitual behavior in individuals with substance use disorders and summarizes the current state of research on this topic. The evidence regarding alterations in addiction and substance use is mixed and requires further investigation. Increased habitual responding is observed in more severely affected groups, while reduced model-based behavior is mainly observed in alcohol use disorder.

Summary: This article discusses how neuroimaging research can reveal the neural predictors of relapse in substance use disorders and how interventions can modify these markers. The study found that brain activity related to drug value and automatized use behaviors can predict relapse. Established and emerging interventions can help treat substance use disorders by modifying brain activity associated with drug value. However, executive deficits in addiction may affect the effectiveness of interventions targeting control-related brain areas.
