Notes: Descriptive statistics (means, variances, and ranges) for behavioral tasks of sustained attention (CPT) and cognitive inference (Stroop), reported across the sample and broken down by group. Groups compared using a two-tailed Welch two-sample t-test. One HCV subject did not complete the Stroop within the alcohol cued environment. *statistics, descriptives, and number of subjects included reflect the removal of 5 outliers who had <60% accuracy on the CPT or average response time >700 ms. Abbreviations as follows: RT- response time; CPT- continuous performance task; AUD- individuals with alcohol use disorder group; HCV- healthy control volunteer group; sd- standard deviation; F()- test statistic (degrees of freedom); pancova - p-value for the group differences test
