- Abstract
Objective: To explore the correlations between behavior activation and inhibition systems (BAS/BIS) and executive functions in ex-combatants of the Colombian armed conflict. Methodology: Observational, exploratory study, with a sample of 39 ex-combatants belonging to the "High Counseling of the Presidency for Reintegration" program, residents in Antioquia-Colombia, with an average of 35±7.6 year of age, 87.2% were males, with school grades of10±2.8; who were compared with a control group of 14 non-combatants, with ages between 33±6.1 years-old, 71.4% were males, and with school grades 10±2.7. The BAS/BIS questionnaire was administered in order to score the Reward Sensitivity (RS) and Punishment Sensitivity (PS). The EF was evaluated with INECO-Frontal Screening (IFS). Results: There were specific alterations of EF in the execution of conflicting instructions (CI), verbal working memory (MTV) and verbal inhibitory control (CIV). Direct correlations, moderate to high coefficients between SAC (SR) and CA abstraction capacity, CMI inhibitory motor control, MTV, spatial working memory (MTE), and global executive functioning (IFSTOT). Conclusions: Colombian ex-combatants have lower performance in verbal working memory and verbal inhibitory control, which would affect anticipation, goal setting, plan design, initiation of voluntary behaviors and inhibitory control, which generates generation of wrong decisions.
