The Effectiveness of Theory-Driven Computer Models of Drug Addiction in Humans

Jyotika Devi

Several people believe that neurocognitive dysfunctions are the cause of the maladaptive behaviour seen in drug addiction. Using computational tools to explore these dysfunctions in drug-dependent people has been more popular recently, in part because it offers a quantitative framework for inferring the psychological mechanisms that may have gone wrong in addiction. Thus, we set out to assess how well these theory-driven computational models have served this function in the field of addiction research.
