  • Description: Recent studies have investigated the implicit cognitive mechanisms that influence the decision to use drugs and drug use behavior, such as attentional bias and reactivity to cues. Those responses are automatically elicited and can increase vulnerability to addiction and relapse. This review aimed to present theoretical perspective of dual-process models of addictive behaviors and to discuss the influence of automatic processes in drug intake, how they can be assessed, and techniques to directly modify them. The results suggest that implicit measures can assess the automatic mechanisms more accurately than explicit measures. Therefore, it is suggested that interventions aimed at the transformation of implicit cognitions can be effective alternatives for the treatment of addictive behaviors. Keywords: implicit cognition, addiction, attentional bias Pesquisas recentes tem investigado mecanismos cognitivos implicitos que influenciam a decisao e o comportamento de uso da droga, como vies atencional e reatividade a pistas. Tais respostas sao eliciadas automaticamente, potencializando a vulnerabilidade a dependencia e recaida ao uso da droga. Este estudo teve como objetivo apresentar a perspectiva teorica dos modelos de duplo-processamento dos comportamentos aditivos assim como discutir a influencia dos processos automaticos no uso de drogas, suas formas de avaliacao e tecnicas que objetivam modificar diretamente tais processos. Os resultados sugerem que medidas implicitas possam avaliar os mecanismos automaticos mais acuradamente do que medidas explicitas. Diante disso, sugere-se que intervencoes voltadas para a transformacao das cognicoes implicitas sejam alternativas eficazes para o tratamento da dependencia quimica.
