Executive functions (EFs)-the higher level cognitive abilities that enable us to control our own thoughts and actions-continue develop into early adulthood, yet no longitudinal study has examined their stability during the important life transition from late adolescence young adulthood. In this twin (total N = 840 individuals 424 families), we of individual differences in 3 EF components across a 6-year period, approximately age 17 years (Wave 1) 23 2). Specifically, address following...
Although performance on laboratory-based implicit bias tasks often is interpreted strictly in terms of the strength automatic associations, recent evidence suggests that such are influenced by higher-order cognitive control processes, so-called executive functions (EFs). However, extant work this area has been limited failure to account for unity and diversity EFs, focus only a single measure and/or EF, relatively small sample sizes. The current study sought comprehensively model relation...
Although previous research suggests that depressive ruminators tend to become stuck in a particular mind-set, this mental inflexibility may not always be disadvantageous; some cases, it facilitate active maintenance of single task goal the face distraction. To evaluate hypothesis, we tested 98 college students, who differed ruminative tendencies and dysphoria levels, on two executive-control tasks. One emphasized fast-paced shifting between goals (letter naming), one (modified Stroop)....
Considerable research has investigated the acute effects of alcohol on response inhibition, but a number issues remain unresolved. Given that most studies use only single laboratory task to assess it is often difficult determine whether alcohol's are specific or generalize across measures same construct. Moreover, relatively few have directly compared under ascending and descending blood concentrations (BACs), those failed disentangle BAC limb from repeated testing. This study was intended...
The current study investigated whether trait anxiety was systematically related to task-set shifting performance, using a task-switching paradigm in which 1 task more attentionally demanding than the other. Specifically, taking advantage of well-established phenomenon known as asymmetric switch costs, we tested hypothesis that association between and is most clearly observed when individuals must away from for it necessary effortfully establish an appropriate set. Ninety-one young adults...
Background: Naltrexone (NTX) is an opioid antagonist indicated for the treatment of alcoholism, which not universally effective. Thus, identifying individual predictors NTX's behavioral effects critical to optimizing its therapeutic use. Moreover, given high rate relapse during understanding when combined with moderate ethanol intake important. Our previous study abstinent alcoholics and control subjects showed that a more internal Locus Control score predicted increased impulsive choice on...
To compare the acute effects of alcohol on set-shifting task performance (relative to sober baseline performance) during ascending and descending limb breath concentration (BrAC), as well possible moderation these by individual differences.
Objective: This study examined the performance of health plans on two HEDIS measures: metabolic monitoring children and adolescents prescribed an antipsychotic use first-line psychosocial care for a nonindicated use. Plan characteristics other contextual factors that may be associated with plan were to identify potential strategies improving care. Methods: The population included 279 commercial 169 Medicaid voluntarily submitted data provided in 2016. Bivariate associations between measures...
