Individuals with addictions often encounter environmental cues that may trigger repeated engagement in addictive behaviors despite adverse consequences. In substance addictions, Pavlovian influence instrumental (Pavlovian-to-instrumental transfer or PIT), and dominant habitual control is insensitive to outcome value serve as foundational mechanisms addiction development perpetuation. Nevertheless, the extent of PIT effect, control, connections behavior internet gaming disorder (IGD) remains largely uninvestigated. The present study seeks examine specific effects monetary cues, general gaming-related presence behaviors, probing their interrelations associations behaviors. Forty-five adults IGD 42 recreational game use (RGU) at baseline performed a task devaluation procedure. Participants reported severity four-month follow-up. Results demonstrated (1) greater effect group compared RGU group; (2) positive correlations between both groups; (3) Go positively correlating control; (4) No-Go negatively (5) relating prospectively participants' phenotypes These findings offer early evidence linking suggest potential targets for prevention intervention strategies.
