Go–no-go performance in pathological gamblers
Semion Kertzman,Katherine Lowengrub,Anat Aizer,Michael Vainder,Moshe Kotler,Pinhas N. Dannon +5 more
TL;DR: The results showed that PGs were significantly more impaired in both target detection and go/no-go task performance than controls, and they were slower and less consistent in their responses.

Stroop performance in pathological gamblers.
TL;DR: Previous findings are extended by showing that performance on the Stroop task is impaired in a sample of medication-free pathological gamblers, and a new finding was that for pathologicalgamblers, the average reaction time in the neutral condition was slower than the average reacted in the incongruent condition.

Why do young women smoke? III. Attention and impulsivity as neurocognitive predisposing factors.
Avi Yakir,Amihai Rigbi,Kyra Kanyas,Yehudah Pollak,Gazit Kahana,Osnat Karni,Renana Eitan,Semion Kertzman,Bernard Lerer +8 more
TL;DR: A neurocognitive profile characterized by impairments in sustained attention and control of impulsivity may be one of the factors that predispose young women who initiate cigarette smoking to maintain the habit.

Stroop performance in major depression: selective attention impairment or psychomotor slowness?
TL;DR: The study shows that the Stroop task performance is affected by both aging and MDD, and can be predicted by psychomotor slowness and by vigilance level in outpatients, but not by impairment of selective attention per se.

Risk-taking decisions in pathological gamblers is not a result of their impaired inhibition ability
TL;DR: Impaired IGT performance in PGs was not related to an inhibition ability measured by the Stroop (interference response time) and the Go/NoGo (number of commission errors) parameters, and further controlled studies with neuroimaging techniques may help to clarify the particular brain mechanisms underlying the impaired decision making process inPGs.
