Inhibitory control:
1. Go/No-Go Task.
2. Stop Signal Task (SST)
Secondary outcome
Evaluation of pictures in video game training.
Background summary
In this experimental study the effects of a game-based inhibition training will be tested in a Dutch sample of young adults smokers. Smokers who are motivated to quit are randomly assigned to one of two conditions. The intervention condition (inhibition video game) will consist of 5 play sessions of 6-10 minutes at home. The control condition (treatment-as-usual) will receive a self-help brochure by The Trimbos Institute containing information about strategies for initiation and maintenance of cessation. Measurements of primary and secondary outcomes will be conducted in both conditions at baseline, and immediately following the intervention in laboratory visits.
Study objective
The effects of a game-based inhibition training will be tested in a Dutch sample of young adult smokers. It is expected that the young adults who receive the inhibition video game will show higher levels of inhibitory control at post-test, compared to the control group.
Study design
1. Screening
2. Pre-treatment: all primary and secondary outcomes (one week before first session);
3. Post-treatment: all primary and secondary outcomes (one week after last session);
Intervention
Young adult smokers who are motivated to quit are randomly assigned to one of two conditions. The intervention condition will receive an inhibition video game, which is a Go-NoGo training transformed into a video game format. There will be 5 weekly play sessions of 6-10 minutes at home. The control condition (treatment-as-usual) will receive a self-help brochure by the Trimbos Institute to take home. This brochure, containing information about strategies for initiation and maintenance of cessation, can be considered standard treatment in the Netherlands.
