Educated adults solve simple addition problems primarily by direct memory retrieval, as opposed to counting or other procedural strategies, but they report using retrieval substantially less often with in written-word format (four + eight) compared digit (4 8). It was hypothesized that efficiency is relatively low word operands digits and this promotes a shift backup strategies. Consistent hypothesis, Experiment 1 demonstrated greater word-format costs on usage for than subtraction, which...

Depression and anxiety are prevalent yet undertreated conditions. Therapist-assisted Internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) is efficacious for these conditions can serve to overcome barriers accessing mental health care (e.g., distance, time). In therapist-assisted ICBT, patients review behavioural treatment materials over the Internet. addition, providers offer support direction most commonly through weekly emails or phone calls.

There is limited understanding of associations between a combination health behaviors (physical activity, sedentary/screen-time, diet) and cardiometabolic risk factors, physical performance, emotional among young (<18) childhood cancer survivors (CCS). The aims this research were to address gap by 1) deriving behavior adherence profiles CCS, 2) examining demographic, diagnosis and/or treatment exposures, cardiometabolic, functioning with profile membership.
AbstractThe cognitive-behavioral and interpersonal models of health anxiety propose that parental illness could be a contributory factor to the development but through different mechanisms. The model suggests exposure may lead beliefs increase anxiety. In contrast, proposes contribute an insecure attachment pattern consequently To assess additive value models, 116 emerging adults (i.e. aged 18–25) who had parent diagnosed with serious medical (e.g. cancer, multiple sclerosis) completed...

Individuals with monogenic disorders can experience variable phenotypes that are influenced by genetic variation. To investigate this in sickle cell disease (SCD), we performed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of 722 individuals hemoglobin HbSS or HbSβ0-thalassemia from Baylor College Medicine and the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Sickle Cell Clinical Intervention Program (SCCRIP) longitudinal cohort study. We developed pipelines to identify variants modulate polymerization red blood...
