Stronger implicit alcohol-arousal associations linked to blunted HR response in heavy drinkers; challenges incentive sensitization hypothesis yet remains hypothesis-generating.
Is the strength of implicit alcohol associations correlated with alcohol-induced heart rate acceleration in heavy drinking men?
Implicit alcohol-arousal associations are negatively correlated with alcohol-induced heart rate acceleration in heavy drinking men, contrary to the incentive sensitization hypothesis.
Wildenberg et al. (2006) studied this question.
