Abstract

Video game addiction (VGA) is associated with cognitive problems, particularly deficits in inhibitory control. The present study aimed to investigate behavioural responses and event-related potential associated with specific response inhibition using the cued Go/NoGo task to examine the effects of VGA on brain activity related to response inhibition. Twenty-five individuals addicted to video games (action video games) and 25 matched healthy controls participated in the study. The results showed that the VGA group had significantly more commission error in the NoGo trials and faster reaction time in the Go trials compared with the control group. The event-related potential analyses revealed significant reductions in amplitudes of N2 cue and N2 NoGo in the VGA group. While there was no significant difference between the N2 amplitudes of the Go and NoGo trials in the VGA group, the control group had a larger N2 amplitude in the NoGo trials. These results indicate that VGA subjects have difficulties in the early stages of response inhibition, as well as some level of impairment in proactive cognitive control.

电子游戏成瘾与早期抑制控制问题有关：使用诱导去/不去任务进行的事件相关电位研究

电子游戏成瘾（VGA）与认知问题有关，尤其是抑制控制方面的缺陷。本研究旨在通过 "去/不去 "任务（cued Go/NoGo task）调查与特定反应抑制相关的行为反应和事件相关电位，以研究电子游戏成瘾对与反应抑制相关的大脑活动的影响。25 名沉迷于视频游戏（动作视频游戏）的人和 25 名匹配的健康对照者参加了研究。结果显示，与对照组相比，VGA 组在 NoGo 试验中的委托错误明显更多，而在 Go 试验中的反应时间更快。事件相关电位分析显示，VGA 组 N2 提示和 N2 NoGo 的振幅明显降低。虽然 VGA 组在 Go 和 NoGo 试验中的 N2 振幅没有明显差异，但对照组在 NoGo 试验中的 N2 振幅更大。这些结果表明，VGA 受试者在反应抑制的早期阶段存在困难，在主动认知控制方面也存在一定程度的障碍。

期刊介绍： Addiction Biology is focused on neuroscience contributions and it aims to advance our understanding of the action of drugs of abuse and addictive processes. Papers are accepted in both animal experimentation or clinical research. The content is geared towards behavioral, molecular, genetic, biochemical, neuro-biological and pharmacology aspects of these fields. Addiction Biology includes peer-reviewed original research reports and reviews. Addiction Biology is published on behalf of the Society for the Study of Addiction to Alcohol and other Drugs (SSA). Members of the Society for the Study of Addiction receive the Journal as part of their annual membership subscription.
