EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. The primary purpose of this competing continuation application is to examine basic cognitive and decision- making processes related to smoking craving. There are two premises underlying the proposed studies. First, craving systematically alters cognitive processing, or decision-making about drug use, such that the likelihood that one will use a drug increases. Second, many decisions related to drug use require when in an affectively neutral, or 'cold' state a prediction of how one will feel or behave when in a craving,or 'hot' state. Individuals in a cold state often underestimate the impact of being in a hot state on their own future behavior. The proposed laboratory research will merge the research approaches and theoretical perspectives of experimental psychology and behavioral economics to examine the diverse effects of craving on cognition, impatience,and the degree of volitional control over decision making. Moreover, this project will test whether smokers can predict the intensity of their own future cravings and recall the intensity of past cravings. In order to manipulate craving, regular smokers and light smoking 'chippers' will be exposed to smoking or control cues, during nicotine-deprived or nondeprived states. Study 1(n=144) will test whether craving alters a number of etiologically significant cognitive responses, includingdrug-related decision-making and impatience. Study 2 (n=180) will use a two-session design to test how accurately smokers who are not craving can predict the motivational force of their own future cravings. Study 3 (n= 180) will use a multi-session design to test how accurately smokers recall past craving states, and will evaluate the effects of a cognitive coping strategy on craving intensity and on subsequent recall of craving. This model-driven experimental research will examine cognitive and decision-making mechanisms that may link craving to relapse. By tying craving to responses that are meaningfully linkedto smoking, the project aims to advance knowledge of cognitive processes in addiction. Regardless of the outcome, the studies will provide critical data regarding observable effects of craving on smokers, which will improve understanding of factors contributingto the etiology, maintenance, and treatment of nicotineaddiction.
