Abstract

A dot probe task and Affective Misattribution Procedure (AMP) were used to assess 149 8- to 12-year-old children’s attentional bias towards alcohol-related cues. Children of escape drinkers exhibited an attentional toward the alcohol-related cues, while children of non-escape drinkers showed no attentional bias.
