et al., 2001). Individuals with AUD have difficulty with abstract thinking, cognitive flexibility, set-shifting, concept identification, working memory, problem solving, and ability to use feedback information assessed with measures such as the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (Chanraud et al., 2007; Fama et al., 2004; Oscar-Berman et al., 2009; Ratti et al., 2002; Sullivan et al., 1993) and the Modified Card Sorting Test (Le Berre et al., 2012). Deficits in other component executive processes have also been associated with AUD, such as difficulties in organization and self-generation of strategies using verbal fluency tasks and the Ruff Figural Fluency task (Dao-Castellana et al., 1998; Fernandez-Serrano et al., 2010; Oscar-Berman et al., 2009; Pitel et al., 2007a), updating abilities using an N-back task (Noel et al., 2012a; Noel et al., 2001; Pitel et al., 2007a), and working memory using the Letter-Number Sequencing test (Chanraud et al., 2007).
