This study showed impaired inhibition with a higher cognitive load on the Go/No-Go task in compulsive buyers. Secondly, there was evidence for impulsivity indicated by negative correlations between compulsive buying scores and reaction times on the in the No-Go commission condition on the Go/No-Go task and on the Dot-Probe task. Finally, in a simulation of real-life shopping, compulsive buyers were faster to choose items, and they paid more for them. This evidence suggests that the effects of compulsive buying on cognitive function are often subtle and a real-life simulation that uniquely demonstrates this impairment
