Neuropsychological Profiles of Three Subtypes of Impulsivity in the General Population: A Young Adults Study

The impulsivity construct has been investigated in the psychological literature as both a personality factor and a manifestation of the cognitive functioning of individuals. In addition, an increasing number of studies have shown that impulsivity is not a unitary concept and that it must be conceiv...
