Note: NA-NN reflects change in response from NN (neutral-image/in vivo neutral cue) to NA (neutral-image/in vivo alcohol cue) trial. TA-TN reflects change in response from TN (traumaimage/in vivo neutral cue) to TA (trauma-image/in vivo alcohol cue) trial. Means sharing similar superscripts do not differ significantly based on Scheffé corrections. Small effect size (d) = 0.2, medium effect size = 0.5, large effect size = 0.8.
