Abstract
We reviewed full arguments which highlight that addiction is mediated by cognitive mechanisms which are related on the one hand to clinical symptoms and, on the other hand, to neurobiological alterations. According to the literature, memory and time mechanisms seem to be central to the initiation and maintenance of addictive behaviours. More research is needed to improve our knowledge of the cognitive mechanisms of addiction and to develop new tools for treating patients.
