The visual scanning of 19 recently abstinent crack cocaine-dependent men
was assessed while they viewed a picture of a cocaine cue and a picture of
a neutral cue. Cocaine craving scores were inversely correlated with the
number of preattentive fixations and saccades and were positively
correlated with the number of attentive fixations.
