Methods: We performed a modified Eriksen flanker task in 17 adults with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder and 17 healthy controls. As behavioral measures of cognitive control and error processing, we included reaction times and error rates to calculate congruency effects, c...
Thus, the ultimate results of this trial may find HIIT has a better effect on the cognitive functions and drug craving level of individuals with MA dependence than traditional interventions. The results may provide new evidences for the use of HIIT amongst illicit drug abusers. This study has ...
Most treatment centers’ clinical practices rely heavily on the use of antidepressants and/or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). All regular interventions are allowed in TAU, except for systemic family therapy of more than 4 sessions in the first 5 months of...
It is worth noting that both positive and negative symptoms map onto a continuum from low to high severity in the general population (van Os et al.,2009). Moreover, attenuated positive and negative symptoms are an important risk marker for psychotic disorders, particularly in young adults (Howe...
Furthermore, the majority of work has been conducted on normative samples, which typically demonstrate parasympathetic withdrawal to increase arousal needed to complete cognitive tasks. Little is known about how autonomic regulation supports cognitive function in populations exposed to high levels of stress...
Therapeutic interventions have not yet been shown to demonstrate restorative effects for declining long-term memory (LTM) that affects many healthy older adults. We developed a virtual reality (VR) spatial wayfinding game (Labyrinth-VR) as a cognitive in
Nearly three-quarters of homeless adults with mental illness in Canada show evidence of cognitive deficits, such as difficulties with problem solving, learning and memory, new research has found. The study-believed to be the largest of its kind -assessed neurocognitive functioning indicators such as...
adults. The short physical performance battery (SPPB) includes five physical tests that assess lower extremity function: three timed static standing tasks with feet in different positions and two timed mobility tasks: an eight-foot timed walk and a five-repetition sit-to-stand task [6]. Though ...
in which HMMs overall showed average or above average performance in the applied cognitive tasks. According to others (e.g., van der Schuur et al.2015) HMMs are assumed not to have any general deficits in executive control but maybe more specific ones. For example, it was suggested that HM...
While these responses could reflect extreme negative and positive time preference, they may also arise from low cognitive effort or a lack of understanding.4 Consequently, we also find low levels of present-biased preferences in our sample, with only 22 % of women and men demonstrating present-...
