Este artículo describe el papel de cuatro tipos de variables relacionadas con errores cognitivos en el ámbito del abuso de drogas: errores cognitivos-informativos, limitaciones en los procesos cognitivos que ocurren durante periodos de experimentación con consumo de drogas, mantenimiento de la congruencia creencia-conducta y distorsión situacional/contextual. Diversas estrategias de prevención actuales tienen como objetivo neutralizar estas variables relacionadas con errores cognitivos. El abordaje de dichas variables permitiría el desarrollo de nuevas estrategias preventivas del abuso de drogas.

Abstract
This paper describes the role of four types of cognitive misperceptionrelated variables in the arena of drug misuse: cognitive-information errors, limitations in cognitive processes occurring during a period of experimentation with drug use, belief-behavior congruence maintenance, and situational/contextual distortion. Several current prevention strategies are provided aimed to counteract these misperception-related variables. By addressing each of these variables, novel drug misuse preventive strategies might be uncovered.
