  • Face-name association learning and brain structural substrates in alcoholism.

    Pitel AL, Chanraud S, Rohlfing T, Pfefferbaum A, Sullivan EV. Alcohol Clin Exp Res. 2012; 36 (7): 1171-9

    Associative learning is required for face-name association and is impaired in alcoholism, but the cognitive processes and brain structural components underlying this deficit remain unclear. It is also unknown whether prompting alcoholics to implement a deep level of processing during face-name encoding would enhance performance.
