Cognitive impairment occurs at higher rates in individuals clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis relative to healthy peers, and it contributes unique variance multivariate prediction models of transition psychosis. Such is considered a core biomarker schizophrenia. Thus, cognition key domain measured the Accelerating Medicines Partnership® program Schizophrenia (AMP SCZ initiative). The aim this paper describe rationale, processes, considerations, final harmonization cognitive battery used...
Alexithymia is associated with adverse mental and physical health outcomes. Determining neuropsychological factors alexithymia may aid in elucidating its underlying mechanisms identifying treatment targets. Accumulating evidence indicates that executive dysfunction co-occur younger adults (YA). However, research on this link older (OA), who be at greater risk for alexithymia, scant. This study determined associations between function (EF) healthy OA. was predicted to poorer EF both...
Self-guided mental health interventions that are disseminated via the Web have potential to circumvent barriers treatment and improve public health. However, self-guided often fail attract consumers suffer from user nonadherence. Uptake of novel could be improved by consulting beginning development process in order assess their interest preferences. Interventions can then tailored using this feedback optimize appeal.The aim our study was determine level a new intervention incorporates...
Theoretical models of adult development suggest changes in emotion systems with age. This study determined how younger and older adults judged classified 70 terms that varied valence arousal, have been used previous studies aging emotion. The were from the Positive Negative Affect Schedule - Expanded (PANAS-X) (KS) affect scales.Older (n = 32) 111) engaged a card sort task which (i.e. grouped) relation to one another. Activation ratings collected.There 17 age group differences item for...
Objectives: Older adults report greater emotional well-being than younger persons, yet negative stereotypes about aging are pervasive. Little is known age group perceptions of emotion in adulthood, particularly for familiar persons. Thus, this project determined general affect and older adults.Method: In two studies, participants (Study 1, adult n = 123, 43; Study 2, 34, midlife 41, 16) provided self-report data their general, as well reported on the a person (aged 18--34) 65 or older)....
Background/Study Context: Older adults may devote more cognitive resources to the processing and regulation of emotion stimuli than younger adults, but no studies have determined associations between episodic memory performance naturalistic recovery in a mixed-age sample. The current study ascertained if scores were associated with midlife/older these moderated by age.Methods: Participants watched montage film clips about interpersonal loss. Self-reported negative positive emotions assessed...
Corrective experiences (CEs), which suggest transformative experience(s) for the psychotherapy patient, have a rich theoretical history; yet there is little empirical information on patients' own perceptions of what gets "corrected" from therapy, and "corrective" (i.e., mechanisms driving CE). To address this gap, we investigated 14 posttreatment accounts both CE elements in context naturalistically delivered individual psychotherapy, using consensual qualitative research methodology....
Background: Research on Alzheimer disease and related dementias is increasingly focused preventative strategies to target modifiable risk factors (eg, exercise, diet, cognitive stimulation) reduce of decline, though it remains difficult for adults adopt maintain these behaviors their own. Methods/Participants: In this survey study, we examined knowledge about dementia, engagement in healthy lifestyle behaviors, associated barriers/facilitators an prevention registry at-risk, cognitively...
While cognitive remediation (CR) programs for individuals with dementing pathology have been shown to be efficacious, as a stand-alone treatment, they can difficult this population, serve constant reminder of deficits, potentially leading low self-esteem and sense hopelessness. Because these limitations standard CR programs, add-on therapies directly targeting dysfunctional defeatist beliefs may enhance the efficacy CR. 36 outpatients diagnosed mild moderate Alzheimer's disease were randomly...
Objectives: Theoretical models of aging suggest changes across the adult lifespan in capacity to differentiate emotions. Greater emotion differentiation is associated with advantages terms regulation and resiliency. This study utilized a novel method that directly measures judgments affect does not confound affective experience knowledge about terms. predictions older adults would distinguish more between than younger persons were tested.Method: Older (n = 27; aged 60–92) 56; 18–32) rated...
Abstract Aim Patients' prognostic psychotherapy outcome expectations are robustly associated with post‐treatment outcomes. However, little is known about the determinants of such expectancies, especially in college students whose beliefs have yet to be influenced by prior therapy experiences. Understanding factors that relate truly ‘baseline’ predictive can implications for addressing undergraduate students' willingness begin a course of, engage in, and benefit from mental health treatment,...
