Project B09 aims to develop and empirically test a comprehensive computational model of addictive behavior. Our Bayesian Contextual Control Modell implemented in the 1st FP conceptualizes goal-directed and habitual control as context-dependent. We propose to (1) extend the current model by Pavlovian control (i.e. biased context inference and action selection), and (2) test predictions with PIT data collected during the 1st FP by B03 and a refined task. Using novel tasks developed by B09 in the 1st FP, we will (3) assess associations with SUD (alcohol and tobacco), and (4) identify neural correlates of hypothesized computational/cognitive processes using model-based fMRI.
