Fig. 4. Gist-level associative memory for alcohol predicts real-world drinking behavior.

a Baseline drinking behavior (1 week prior to start of the study). b Subsequent drinking behavior (4 weeks following memory assessment during treatment). Distribution of average reported drinking behavior at each time point shown at the left for reference. Relationships between drinking behavior and normalized item memory (middle) and associative memory (right) are shown, separately for alcoholic beverages (red) and neutral objects (gray). In each plot, participants are represented by two dots: one for alcohol-related and one for neutral object-related memories. Error bars = standard error of model coefficients.
