the error paradigm (ERN) in a similar sample [212]. Bernat et al. [45] explained that this seemingly inconsistent finding is perhaps due to a functional differences between the components, such that the ERN reflects endogenous representations while the feedback related P3 reflects exogenous cues. While reward theta EROs and risk status may have bidirectional influence with each other, externalizing disorders, which are known to have impulsivity as a core factor, were more prevalent in the HR subjects relative to the LR group, suggesting that both trait impulsivity measured by the BIS and the clinical manifestations of impulsivity (in the form of externalizing disorders) may also be intricately linked to the risk status associated with AUD. Although these explanations might hold true for the results of the current study, future studies may further explore this issue.
