Assessing Cognitive Abilities Using the WAIS-IV: An Item Response Theory Approach
This study investigates item and scale properties of the Egyptian WAIS-IV using item response theory (IRT) models.
Neuropsychological Learning Deficits as Predictors of Treatment Outcome in Patients with Eating Disorders
This study used the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) to investigate learning differences related to treatment outcome in EDs, comparing between patients with a good and bad treatment outcome and healthy controls. Likewise, the predictive role of impaired learning performance on therapy outcome was explored.
The Role of Premorbid IQ and Age of Onset as Useful Predictors of Clinical, Functional Outcomes, and Recovery of Individuals with a First Episode of Psychosis
Premorbid IQ (pIQ) and age of onset are predictors of clinical severity and long-term functioning after a first episode of psychosis. However, the additive influence of these variables on clinical, functional, and recovery rates outcomes is largely unknown
Moderators of cognitive insight outcome in metacognitive training for first-episode psychosis
The aim of this study was to examine potential moderators of cognitive insight in individuals with first-episode psychosis (FEP) who received either MCT or psychoeducation. The present study was based on data from a randomized control trial comparing MCT to psychoeducation.
Cognitive functioning after six months of follow-up in a sample of alcohol use disorder outpatients
The main objective of the present study was to compare neuropsychological performance and its relation to alcohol use in patients with AUD and healthy controls, and to determine the evolution of cognitive impairment and alcohol use over time.
Neurocognitive Functioning in Individuals at Clinical High Risk for Psychosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
To provide an updated synthesis of evidence on the consistency and magnitude of neurocognitive functioning in individuals at CHR-P.
Associations Between Mobile Health Technology use and Self-rated Quality of Life: A Cross-sectional Study on Older Adults with Cognitive Impairment
To investigate factors affecting mHealth technology use in relation to self-rated QoL among older adults with cognitive impairment.
Neuropsychiatric Disorders, Emotional Disturbances, and Their Associations with HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorder
The current chapter provides a critical and narrative review of recent research on the neuropsychiatric disorders, emotional disturbances, and their associations with neurocognitive functioning in people living with HIV infection. We review a range of neuropsychiatric disorders including depression and anxiety disorders, but also emotional disturbances, which can be partly distinguished from depression and anxiety (apathy, alexithymia, and emotional processing impairment)
Early life multiple exposures and child cognitive function: A multi-centric birth cohort study in six European countries
This study aims to systematically assess associations between a wide range of prenatal and childhood environmental exposures and cognition.
Neural signatures of predictive language processing in Parkinson’s disease with and without mild cognitive impairment
Cognitive deficits are common in Parkinson’s disease (PD), with some PD patients meeting criteria for mild cognitive impairment (MCI). An unaddressed question is whether linguistic prediction is preserved in PD. This ability is nowadays deemed crucial for achieving fast and efficient comprehension, and it may be negatively impacted by cognitive deterioration in PD. To fill this gap of knowledge, we used event-related potentials (ERPs) to evaluate mechanisms of linguistic prediction in a sample of PD patients (on dopamine compensation) with and without MCI.
