Abstract: " Substance addicts show significant impulsivity, which manifests as substance abuse and difficulty in withdrawing. In addition to the problems of inhibition and executive control, driving force from multiple psychological dimensions is also an important reason for impulsive substance use. This drive stems from a variety of sources, including reward effect, S-R related cue response through conditioning and sensation-seeking personality trait. Low levels of inhibition are insufficient to resist the effects of the drive. Consequently, this unbalanced state will lead to a habitual tendency in behaviour or compulsion to use substances under addicts’ craving. These two types of behavior are the manifestation of addictive impulsivity. "
