Abstract

This study investigated impairments in frontal lobe's executive function in internet addiction like pathologic gambling in impulse-control disorder. 40 undergraduate students(20 Internet addictive tendency group and 20 control group) participated in four executive function task: Gambling Task(measuring decision-making), Continuous Performance Task(measuring impulsivity), Stroop Test(measuring response inhibition), Word Fluency Test(measuring cognitive flexibility). The results indicate that there was no significant difference in decision-making and response inhibition ability between internet addictive tendency group and control group. But, internet addictive tendency group was more impulsive and poor cognitive flexibility than control group. In conclusion, these findings support some executive dysfunction in internet addiction group. The limitations of this study and suggested directions for future research were discussed.
