Addiction addicts' strong dependence on drugs has always been a social issue of great concern.Previous studies have believed that drug addiction is a brain disease,and the key to the problem of withdrawal lies in treatment,which should be explored from the perspective of physiology and pathology.However,in recent years,researches in the field of psychology have found that drug addicts' obsession with drugs is related to psychological dependence.In addition to physiologic forced drug rehabilitation and persuasion education for drug addicts,the implicit attitude of drug addicts should also be paid attention to.In the past,the cognitive characteristics of drug addicts were studied by selfassessment questionnaire and wired test.Although the questionnaire adopted has a good reliability and validity,it is difficult to show addicts' dependence on drug clues,and it is difficult to find effective ways to improve their inner dependence.Studies have shown that Stroop training can inhibit tobacco signal inhibition in tobacco addicts.Therefore,this study starts with the attention characteristics of female addicts to drugs,takes sensitivity and inhibition ability as the research basis,and explores whether Stroop training task can improve the cognitive inhibition ability of female addicts with the help of point detection and stop signal task.This study consists of two experiments.Experiment 1 was a mixed experiment design of 2(subjects type: female addicts and female control group)×3(picture type:drug temptation pictures,general temptation pictures and neutral pictures),aiming to explore the attention bias and inhibition ability of female addicts to drug pictures,and compare them with the control group.The results showed that the response signal response time and stop signal response time of female drug addicts were significantly higher than that of female control group.The correct inhibition rate of drug addicts was lower than that of the other two types of images.Experiment 2(grouping:experimental group and control group)×2(before and after training)×3(picture type:drug picture,general picture and neutral picture)mixed experiment design was designed to explore whether the Stroop inhibition training task could improve the inhibition ability of female addicts.The results showed that the correct inhibition rate of drug images was significantly increased after training,and there was no significant difference between the two groups.However,only the experimental groupsignificantly improved the correct inhibition rate of general pictures after training,while the control group did not significantly improve the correct inhibition rate of general pictures after training.To sum up,the inhibition of drug pictures and general pictures by drug addicts was significantly lower than that of non-drug addicts in the control group,and the difference of successful inhibition rate of drug pictures was more significant.This suggests that female addicts are generally less able to resist temptation than the average woman.After the Stroop training task,the female addicts' ability to suppress the general pictures was significantly improved,while the ability to suppress the drug pictures was not significantly improved.Therefore,female addicts have a weak inhibitory control ability,and drugs have a great impact on them.Their dependence on drugs is very strong.Short-term training can only improve their inhibitory ability to general pictures,but it is still difficult to resist drug pictures.
