The Choice Behavior under Cued Conditions (CBUCC) task uses three indices of tobacco use (consumption, money spent to access a cigarette and latency to reach for a cigarette) to assess motivation to smoke under laboratory conditions. Initial research with this procedure has shown that it can evince cue-specific craving and differential responding for smoking versus a neutral cue. This study aimed to replicate these findings and assess the interaction of cue-specific craving and behavior with abstinence prior to testing.
A mixed repeated-measures between-groups factorial design was used. Participants attended a morning laboratory session in which they were randomized to remain abstinent or smoke as usual (between-groups factor) and returned in the afternoon to complete CBUCC. In this, participants were exposed to 40 experimental trials. In each trial they were exposed to a cigarette or water cue behind a movable glass door (repeated-measures factor).

Participants were 106 daily non-treatment-seeking cigarette smokers, data from 102 were used.
On each of 40 trials, participants rated cigarette craving, and behavioral measures from the CBUCC (money spent, latency to access the cue, puff duration) were recorded.
Craving and CBUCC behavioral measures showed high internal reliability across trials (Cronbach alphas ranged from 0.88 to 0.98). Craving and money spent were higher in trials with the cigarette cue than the water cue (F = 45.49, P < 0.001 and F = 116.26, P < 0.001). Other CBUCC measures did not show a significant effect of cue type. The difference in spending between cigarette and water cues was larger for abstinent participants than non-abstinent participants (F = 5.0, P = 0.03). Other CBUCC measures did not show a significant interaction between abstinence and cue type. Craving on smoking trials was significantly correlated with cigarette spending (r = 0.54, P < 0.001) in the non-abstinence condition but not in the abstinence condition.
Craving and 'money spent' in the Choice Behavior under Cued Conditions task (CBUCC) appears to be responsive to cigarette versus water cues, and money spent appears to show greater difference in responsiveness to cigarette than water cues after abstinence.
条件线索下的选择行为（CBUCC）任务使用三个吸烟指标（消费、购买香烟的花费和吸烟的潜伏期）来评估实验室条件下的吸烟动机。该程序的初步研究表明，它可以表现出对吸烟的线索特异性渴望和对吸烟与中性线索的不同反应。本研究旨在复制这些发现，并评估测试前线索特异性渴望和行为与禁欲之间的相互作用。
使用混合重复测量组间因子设计。参与者参加了一个上午的实验室会议，在会议中，他们被随机分配保持禁欲或照常吸烟（组间因子），并在下午返回完成 CBUCC。在这期间，参与者要经历 40 次实验试验。在每次试验中，他们都要在一扇可移动的玻璃门后面暴露于香烟或水的线索（重复测量因子）。
美国纽约州布法罗大学。
参与者是 106 名日常非治疗性吸烟的吸烟者，其中 102 名参与者的数据被使用。
在 40 次试验中的每一次，参与者都要对香烟的渴望进行评级，并且记录 CBUCC 的行为测量（花费的金钱、接近线索的潜伏期、吸烟持续时间）。
渴望和 CBUCC 行为测量在整个试验中具有很高的内部可靠性（Cronbach 阿尔法系数范围从 0.88 到 0.98）。与水线索相比，香烟线索的渴望和金钱花费更高（F=45.49，P<0.001 和 F=116.26，P<0.001）。其他 CBUCC 措施没有显示出线索类型的显著影响。与非禁欲参与者相比，禁欲参与者在香烟和水线索之间的花费差异更大（F=5.0，P=0.03）。其他 CBUCC 措施没有显示出禁欲和线索类型之间的显著交互作用。在非禁欲条件下，吸烟试验中的渴望与吸烟支出显著相关（r=0.54，P<0.001），但在禁欲条件下则不相关。
在条件线索下的选择行为（CBUCC）任务中，渴望和“花钱”似乎对香烟与水的线索有反应，并且在禁欲后，花钱对香烟线索的反应差异似乎大于对水线索的反应差异。
