Summary

Background:

Alcohol-dependence is a chronic disease with a high risk of relapse. The main therapeutic outcome relies on relapse prevention which seeks to identify high risk situations and individual's response to these situations especially the emotional response to social environment. Alcohol-dependence also induces cognitive impairments leading to social cognition impairments increasing the risk of relapse.

Familiarity is a key process in social interactions: it induces the feeling of prior knowledge of a stimulus without remembering consciously its identity. Followed by a second process based on the contribution of contextual information (recollection) familiarity allows face recognition.

Main aim:

Study of familiarity for faces in alcohol-dependence

Secondary objectives:

Highlighting correlations between familiarity impairments and clinical outcomes
