Increasing cognitive demand in assessments of visuo-spatial neglect: Testing the concepts of static and dynamic tests. J. Clin. Exp. Neuropsychol. (IF 1.958) Pub Date : 2020-08-13 Lauriane A Spreij,Antonia F Ten Brink,Johanna M A Visser-Meily,Tanja C W Nijboer
Introduction Numerous tests of visuo-spatial neglect (VSN) have been developed. In this study, we propose a clustering of VSN tests by making a distinction between static tests with low levels of cognitive demand (i.e. tests without movement or time-restrictions, such as paper-and-pencil tests) and dynamic tests with high levels of cognitive demand (i.e. tests incorporating movement and time-restrictions

Alzheimer's disease disrupts domain-specific and domain-general processes in numerosity estimation. J. Clin. Exp. Neuropsychol. (IF 1.958) Pub Date : 2020-08-05 Angélique Roquet,Bernard François Michel,Patrick Lemaire
Introduction This study investigated how Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) affects numerosity estimation abilities (e.g., finding the approximate number of items in a collection). Method Across two experiments, performance from HOA (i.e., Healthy Older Adults; N = 48) and AD patients (N = 50) was compared on dot comparison tasks. Participants were presented with two dot arrays and had to select the more numerous

Referential adjustment during discourse production in Alzheimer's disease. J. Clin. Exp. Neuropsychol. (IF 1.958) Pub Date : 2020-08-11 Mélanie Sandoz,Katia Iglesias,Amélie M Achim,Jean-François Démonet,Marion Fossard
Several studies have shown that people with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) tend to use more pronouns than healthy aged adults when referring to entities during discourse. This referential behavior has been associated with the decrease of cognitive abilities, such as lexical retrieval difficulties or reduced abilities in working memory. However, the influence of certain important discourse factors on the

The independent living scale in amnestic mild cognitive impairment: Relationships to demographic variables and cognitive performance. J. Clin. Exp. Neuropsychol. (IF 1.958) Pub Date : 2020-08-03 Kevin Duff,Sariah Porter,Ava Dixon,Kayla Suhrie,Dustin Hammers
Introduction The Independent Living Scales (ILS) is an objective measure of day-to-day functioning, which can be used to aid in diagnosing dementia in older adults with cognitive impairments. However, no studies have examined this measure in individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), a prodromal phase of dementia. Method Therefore, we sought to examine three subscales of the ILS (Managing Money

Errors in identifying emotion in body postures and facial expressions among pediatric patients with bipolar disorder. J. Clin. Exp. Neuropsychol. (IF 1.958) Pub Date : 2020-08-12 Lindsay S Schenkel,Terra L Towne
Introduction Facial emotion processing impairments have been consistently demonstrated among patients with pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD). However, less is known about other domains of nonverbal emotion recognition in this group. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to investigate emotion identification for body postures in addition to facial expressions among PBD patients and matched healthy

Emotion dysregulation in adult ADHD: Introducing the Comprehensive Emotion Regulation Inventory (CERI). J. Clin. Exp. Neuropsychol. (IF 1.958) Pub Date : 2020-08-12 Lisa B Thorell,Hanna Tilling,Douglas Sjöwall
Introduction Previous research has shown that Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is linked to emotion dysregulation, but we still do not know enough about the specific nature of this deficit. The aim of the present study was therefore to study emotion dysregulation in adult ADHD using a new self-rating instrument, the Comprehensive Emotion Regulation Inventory (CERI). Methods The study

Is the Brixton Spatial Anticipation Test sensitive to frontal dysfunction? Evidence from patients with frontal and posterior lesions. J. Clin. Exp. Neuropsychol. (IF 1.958) Pub Date : 2020-07-03 Joseph Mole,Eleonora Foddai,Edgar Chan,Tianbo Xu,Lisa Cipolotti
Introduction: The Brixton Spatial Anticipation Test is a widely used neuropsychological test, thought to assess executive functions and to be sensitive to frontal lobe lesions. Our aim was to investigate Brixton performance in patients with focal frontal or posterior lesions and healthy controls. Method: We compared performance on the Brixton in a sample of 24 frontal patients, 18 posterior patients

Response inhibition in Veterans with a history of mild traumatic brain injury: The role of self-reported complaints in objective performance. J. Clin. Exp. Neuropsychol. (IF 1.958) Pub Date : 2020-07-12 Kelsey A Holiday,Alexandra L Clark,Victoria C Merritt,Marina Z Nakhla,Scott Sorg,Lisa Delano-Wood,Dawn M Schiehser
Introduction Although objective deficits in response inhibition (RI) have been detected in civilians with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), it remains unclear whether objective RI is worse in military Veterans with mTBI despite the prevalence of self-reported disinhibition. Assessing RI in Veterans is critical due to their unique characteristics, including combat and blast exposure, in addition to
