Abstract

Cognitive control deficits are a primary candidate mechanism underlying urgency, a type of impulsivity. This poster presents data from individuals treated at a short-term partial hospitalization program, and shows that higher post-treatment cognitive control is strongly linked to lower urgency. Results support the development of cognitive interventions for impulsivity.
