Programmatic investigation of neurocognitive functioning in alcohol use disorder (AUD) has revealed widespread and sustained impairments. Despite conceptual relevance to treatment efficacy, few AUD interventions have been directed to the remediation of these impairments. This project is responsive to this gap. It will answer critical questions regarding the potential of cognitive training (CT), applied as an adjunct to inpatient treatment, to improve cognitive recovery and post-discharge functional outcomes in AUD. The current project will investigate the efficacy of two experimental cognitive training interventions in a sample of inpatients in treatment for AUD. While the effectiveness of CT to enhance function is supported by diverse literatures, it remains largely unexamined in AUD. The current project will interrogate the degree to which cognitive training interventions can "transfer" cognitive gains to untrained tasks/domains, and improve overall executive functioning. It will apply conceptual models from the CT and alcohol literatures to identify factors associated with CT efficacy. The impact of cognitive training on functional outcomes, including post-discharge drinking, will be investigated. Finally, relationships between cognitive recovery during treatment and post-discharge adaptation will be examined. Thus, the current work will be of substantial import to public health, alcohol science, and will inform future intervention efforts.
