The effects of cognitive reappraisal following retrieval-procedures designed to destabilize alcohol memories in high-risk drinkers

Conclusions This study provides partial preliminary support for the idea that a common psychotherapeutic strategy used in the context of putative memory retrieval-destabilization can alter accessibility of alcohol semantic networks. Further research delineating the necessary and sufficient requirements for producing alterations in alcohol memory performance based on memory destabilization is still required.
