Abstract

Comments on the original articles "Rapid-response impulsivity: Definitions, measurement issues, and clinical implications" (see record 2015-14753-004) and "Choice impulsivity: Definitions, measurement issues, and clinical implications" (see record 2015-14753-005) by Hamilton, Mitchell, et al. and Hamilton, Littlefield, et al., respectively. The present authors note that research has made important steps toward understanding impulsivity. Rapid-Response Impulsivity and Choice Impulsivity appear to be dissociable in terms of underlying neural circuitry and associated neurochemical modulation. Although various cognitive paradigms have been developed that tap these two functions, as Hamilton and colleagues correctly argue, there is a need for standardized measurements to be validated and agreed on, and for academics and clinicians to work together in order to tackle several pressing and related questions.
