Background: Mobile apps for mental health have the potential to overcome access barriers care, but there is little information on whether patients use interventions as intended and impact they outcomes. Objective: The objective of our study was document compare patterns clinical outcomes across United States between 3 different self-guided mobile depression. Methods: Participants were recruited through Web-based advertisements social media randomly assigned 1 mood apps. Treatment assessment...
Abstract Previous studies of motor learning have described the importance cognitive processes during early stages learning; however, precise nature these and their neural correlates remains unclear. The present study investigated whether spatial working memory (SWM) contributes to visuomotor adaptation depending on stage learning. We tested hypothesis that SWM would contribute in process by measuring (i) correlation between tasks rate adaptation, (ii) overlap substrates a mental rotation...
Advances in mobile technology have resulted federal and industry-level initiatives to facilitate large-scale clinical research using smart devices. Although the benefits of expand data collection are obvious, assumptions about reach methods (access), participant willingness engage protocols (engagement), cost this (cost) remain untested.To assess feasibility a fully randomised controlled trial assessments treatments delivered entirely through devices depressed individuals.Using web-based...
Although sensorimotor adaptation is typically thought of as an implicit form learning, it has been shown that participants who gain explicit awareness the nature perturbation during exhibit more learning than those do not. With rare exceptions, however, polled at end study. Here, we provided with either spatial strategy or no instructions before learning. Early in greatly reduced movement errors but also resulted increased trial-to-trial variability and longer reaction times. Late...
Abstract It is well documented that both cognitive and motor learning abilities decline with normative aging. Given processes such as working memory are engaged during the early stages of [Anguera, J., Reuter-Lorenz, P., Willingham, D., & Seidler, R. Contributions spatial to visuomotor learning. Journal Cognitive Neuroscience, 22(9), 1917–1930, 2010], age-related declines in may be due part reductions ability. The present study examined whether (SWM) contribute deficits adaptation. Young...
Most people with mental health disorders fail to receive timely access adequate care. US Hispanic/Latino individuals are particularly underrepresented in care and historically a very difficult population recruit into clinical trials; however, they have increasing mobile technology, over 75% owning smartphone. This technology has the potential overcome known barriers accessing utilizing traditional assessment treatment approaches.This study aimed compare recruitment engagement fully remote...
Background Smartphones provide a low-cost and efficient means to collect population level data. Several small studies have shown promise in predicting mood variability from smartphone-based sensor usage data, but not been generalized nationally recruited samples. This study used passive smartphone demographic characteristics, baseline depressive symptoms predict prospective daily mood. Method Daily phone data were collected passively 271 Android users participating fully remote randomized...
Background Existing treatments for depression are known to have only modest effects, insufficiently targeted, and inconsistently utilized, particularly in older adults. Indeed, adults with impaired cognitive control networks tend demonstrate poor response a majority of existing interventions. Cognitive interventions delivered using entertainment software the potential not target underlying cerebral dysfunction associated depression, but do so manner that is engaging engenders adherence...
Abstract Sustained attention is a critical cognitive ability that improves over the course of development and predicts important real-world outcomes, such as academic achievement. However, majority work demonstrating links between sustained skills has been conducted in lab-based settings lack ecological validity more naturalistic environment, like school. Further, most studies focus on targeted measures specific sub-skills have not fully examined whether this relationship generalizes to...
Error detection and correction are essential components of motor skill learning. These processes have been well characterized in cognitive psychology using electroencephalography (EEG) to record an event-related potential (ERP) called error-related negativity (ERN). However, it is unclear whether this ERP component sensitive the magnitude error made a sensorimotor adaptation task. In present study, we tested function activity visuomotor To examine size reflected ERP, two groups participants...
Some evidence suggests that experiencing a given scenario using virtual reality (VR) may engage greater attentional resources than the same on 2D computer monitor. However, underlying neural processes associated with these VR-related effects, especially those pertaining to current consumer-friendly head-mounted displays of (HMD-VR), remain unclear. Here, two experiments were conducted compare task performance and EEG-based metrics captured during perceptual discrimination presented different...
Abstract Musical instrument training has been linked to improved academic and cognitive abilities in children, but it remains unclear why this occurs. Moreover, access is not always feasible, thereby leaving less fortunate children without opportunity benefit from such training. Although music‐based video games may be more accessible a broader population, research lacking regarding their benefits on performance. To address gap, we assessed custom‐designed, digital rhythm game as proxy for...
Children with Sensory Processing Dysfunction (SPD) experience incoming information in atypical, distracting ways. Qualitative challenges attention have been reported these children, but such difficulties not quantified using either behavioral or functional neuroimaging methods. Furthermore, the efficacy of evidence-based cognitive control interventions aimed at enhancing this group has tested. Here we present work characterizing and attentional abilities for children SPD. A sample 38 SPD 25...
Despite decades of research and development, depression has risen from the fifth to leading cause disability in United States. Barriers progress field are (1) poor access high-quality care; (2) limited mental health workforce; (3) few providers trained delivery evidence-based treatments (EBTs). Although mobile platforms being developed give consumers greater care, too often these tools do not have empirical support for their effectiveness. In this study, we evaluated PRIME-D, a app...
