o What is the psychological term for the symptoms James experiences after abstaining from consuming alcohol? How do changes in the functioning of neurotransmitter systems produce these symptoms?
o With reference to associative learning principles/models/theories, why does James consume alcohol to alleviate these symptoms? What motivates his drinking behaviour given that he no longer enjoys this activity (most of the time)?
o How do these factors prevent James from quitting his drinking, and lead to a cycle of relapse when he attempts to do so? Why are these processes important for our understanding of addiction and substance use disorders?
The response must include a reference list. Using one-inch margins, double-space, Times New Roman 12 pnt font and APA style of writing and citations.
