Johannes G. Ramaekers,Gerhold Kauert,Peter van Ruitenbeek,Eef L. Theunissen,Erhard Schneider,Manfred R. Moeller +5 more
TLDR
The data suggest that high potency marijuana consistently impairs executive function and motor control and use of higher doses of THC in controlled studies may offer a reliable indication of THC induced impairment as compared to lower doses that have traditionally been used in performance studies.About:

Inhibition and impulsivity: Behavioral and neural basis of response control
Andrea Bari,Trevor W. Robbins +1 more
TL;DR: This review will review the current models of behavioral inhibition along with their expression via underlying brain regions, including those involved in the activation of the brain's emergency 'brake' operation, those engaged in more controlled and sustained inhibitory processes and other ancillary executive functions.

Impulsivity as a vulnerability marker for substance-use disorders: Review of findings from high-risk research, problem gamblers and genetic association studies
TL;DR: The evidence that impulsivity is associated with addiction vulnerability is reviewed by considering three lines of evidence: studies of groups at high-risk for development of SUDs; studies of pathological gamblers, where the harmful consequences of the addiction on brain structure are minimised, and genetic association studies linking impulsivity to genetic risk factors for addiction.

An Evidence Based Review of Acute and Long-Term Effects of Cannabis Use on Executive Cognitive Functions
TL;DR: The research on the acute, residual, and long-term effects of cannabis use on executive functions is reviewed and the implications for treatment are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cannabis Effects on Driving Skills
TL;DR: Evidence suggests recent smoking and/or blood THC concentrations 2-5 ng/mL are associated with substantial driving impairment, particularly in occasional smokers, and future cannabis-and-driving research should emphasize challenging tasks, such as divided attention, and include occasional and chronic daily cannabis smokers.

Acute and Chronic Effects of Cannabinoids on Human Cognition—A Systematic Review
TL;DR: This systematic review of empirical research published in the past decade on acute and chronic effects of cannabis and cannabinoids and on persistence or recovery after abstinence concludes that verbal memory, attention, and some executive functions may persist after prolonged abstinence, but persistence or Recovery across all cognitive domains remains underresearched.

Specific impairments of planning
TL;DR: An information-processing model is outlined that predicts that performance on non-routine tasks can be impaired independently of performance on routine tasks, related to views on frontal lobe functions, particularly those of Luria.

Emotion, Decision Making and the Orbitofrontal Cortex
TL;DR: The somatic marker hypothesis provides a systems-level neuroanatomical and cognitive framework for decisionMaking and the influence on it by emotion and the relationship between emotion, decision making and other cognitive functions of the frontal lobe, namely working memory is reviewed.

On the Ability to Inhibit Thought and Action: A Theory of an Act of Control
Gordon D. Logan,William B. Cowan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a theory of the inhibition of thought and action to account for people's performance in situations with explicit stop signals, and apply it to several sets of data.

On the ability to inhibit simple and choice reaction time responses: a model and a method
TL;DR: Four experiments on the ability to inhibit responses in simple and choice reaction time (RT) tasks were reported, and different methods of selecting stop-signal delays were compared to equate the probability of inhibition in the two tasks.
