Self-regulation and cognitive processes in chronic tobacco consumption

The study was conducted on a sample of individuals with tobacco use experience for at least 5 years, using a number of neuropsychological tests (copying a complex three-dimensional shapes, the graphic test "fence", Annette questionnaire to identify dominant hand) and methods for the regulation of behavior and emotional ыtates (questionnaire of neuro-psychic adaptation, questionnaire by Varvara I. Morosanova SSP-98, semantic differential of time by Ludwig I. Wasserman). It is shown that in experimental group programming is "supported" by right hemisphere, and psychosomatic symptoms by left one. In the control group planning and assessment of results rely on the left hemisphere, "global" self-regulation and flexibility of behavior on the right.
