KS patients performed the PM task less accurately than non-KS controls with alcohol use disorder, confirming PM impairment in this patient population. Controls with alcohol use disorder performed the PM task at ceiling level. Showing an instructional video demonstrating the PM intention improved PM performance and later recall of PM task instructions in KS patients. Episodic future thinking strategy improved PM performance in KS patients with relatively intact cognitive functioning.
