This study explores the conditional dependencies among items in Raven’s Colored Progressive Matrices (CPM), a non-verbal measure of cognitive ability and fluid intelligence, within sample school-aged children. To this aim, we applied Bayesian networks (BNs), to data obtained from 255 participants, aged 4 11 years. We evaluated variety models, starting complete independence model progressing sequential, data-informed structures. The results highlighted that inter-item were particularly...
Assessing executive functions in individuals with disorders or clinical conditions can be challenging, as they may lack the abilities needed for conventional test formats. The use of more personalized versions, such adaptive assessments, might helpful evaluating specific needs. This paper introduces PsycAssist, a web-based artificial intelligence system designed neuropsychological assessment and training. PsycAssist is highly flexible scalable based on procedural knowledge space theory used...
Abstract The Italian healthcare system is public and freely available to the population. With a few exceptions, there are no distinctions between services practices (e.g., primary care) designed for general population those individuals with intellectual developmental disabilities (IDD).

Recent legislation provides specific supports severe autism...
Sociocultural level (SCL) comprises Socioeconomic Status (SES), Cultural Capital (CC), and Social (SC). The relationships between all SCL dimensions have never been investigated. This study aimed to develop a structural equation model representing how age affects the educational level, occupational prestige (as measure of SES), CC, SC for men women.SES, CC were measured with valid scales 654 adults (63% female) aged 19 74 years ( M[SD] = 42.86 [13.32]), that had or used an occupation...
