et al., 2000; Nowakowska-Domagala et al., 2017; Yohman et al., 1985). Decision-making deficits may also endure in long-term abstinent alcoholics (Ando et al., 2012; Fein et al., 2004); these deficits have been hypothesized to play a significant role in relapse. Stavro and colleagues (2013) highlighted the absence of studies that track the persistence and resolution of impulsive decision-making impairment in alcoholic individuals abstinent for many years.
