Sources that contribute to variation in mathematical achievement include both numerical knowledge and general underlying cognitive processing abilities. The current study tested the benefits of tablet-based training games targeted each these areas for improving kindergarten-age children. We hypothesized playing a number-based game targeting magnitude would improve children's broader skills. also working memory (WM) transfer given its important role mathematics achievement.

People with serious mental illnesses (SMIs) are at high risk for suicidal ideation and behavior, yet few suicide prevention interventions have been customized this group. We describe the outcomes of a pilot trial Mobile SafeTy And Recovery Therapy (mSTART), four-session suicide-focused cognitive behavioral intervention SMI, designed transition from acute to outpatient care augmented ecological momentary reinforce content.The primary objective was evaluate feasibility, acceptability,...
Smartphone-based ecological mobile cognitive tests (EMCTs) can measure abilities in the real world, complementing traditional neuropsychological assessments. We evaluated validity of an EMCT recognition memory designed for use with people serious mental illness, as well relevant contextual influences on performance. Participants schizophrenia (SZ), schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder (BD) completed in-lab assessments (Hopkins Verbal Learning Test, HVLT), other abilities,...

This paper provides initial validation a smartphone task facial emotion recognition in serious mental illness. Methods A total 86 participants with psychotic disorders (non-affective affective psychosis), aged 19–65, were administered in-lab ‘gold standard’ affect recognition, neurocognition, symptom...
Abstract Objective There is a need to identify determinants of neurocognitive impairment among older persons living with HIV (PLHIV). Utilizing smartphone-based Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) and mobile cognitive testing, we examined the relationships between daily life activities real-world performance PLHIV HIV-uninfected adults. Method Ninety-one participants (58 PLHIV; Mage = 59.4, SD 6.4), 70.3% male, 65.9% non-Hispanic white, completed four EMA surveys one color-word...
Abstract Objective Current measurements of cognitive functioning are time-consuming and costly, often done as point-in-time assessments. We examined the feasibility acceptability six newly developed smartphone-based mobile tests (MCTs), completed in real-world, among persons with bipolar disorder (BD) healthy controls (HC). Methods Thirteen community-dwelling participants (seven BD HC), aged 18-65, in-person neurobehavioral assessments at baseline our MCTs three times daily for following 14...
