Impulsivity and risk-taking in clinical and non-clinical populations
… responses of control groups with those of three populations that were believed to exhibit problems with impulse regulation: those with eating disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and recreational drug users. Impulsivity was regarded as a multi-dimensional construct, tests …

Sensory Processing Sensitivity: exploring associations with cognition and clinical populations
… growing calls to utilise the trait in clinical practice. Empirical Study 1 Abstract: Cognitive ageing is an ongoing global public health concern. There is continued efforts to identify modifiable factors to minimise the risk of cognitive impairment, and hence functional limits in our …

BRAIN STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION ASSOCIATED WITH EMOTION DYSREGULATION IN TYPICAL DEVELOPMENT AND NEURODEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS
… developing children and adolescents (TD) and the clinical populations such as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) remained unclear. In two studies, neuroimaging techniques were employed to explore the association of ED with grey matter volume (GMV) …

Factor Structure of the Newest Vital Sign In People With HIV and Its Association With Health-Related Self-Management
… Low health literacy is prevalent in healthy and clinical populations, and plays a role in health behaviors and outcomes. The Newest Vital Sign is as a brief, performance-based test that shows evidence of reliability and validity when used to measure health literacy in English speaking healthy …

Design of tool for analysis of speech development disorders using landmarks and other acoustic cues
… modification in specific contexts for specific clinical populations. These findings set the foundation for understanding how phonetic variation in speech arises in both typical and clinical populations, and for using this knowledge to develop tools to aid in more accurate and insightful …

Positive psychology within the clinical context
… well-being and reducing psychopathology amongst clinical populations, pointing to the utility of implementing strengths-based approaches when working with individuals with mental and physical health difficulties. However, less is understood about whether or not, and how, these approaches are used …

An Analysis and Comparison of WMS-III and WMS-IV Verbal Paired Associates: Practical Implications for Neuropsychologists
The current study examined the performance of clinical outpatients on the Verbal Paired Associates (VPA) subtest from current and prior versions of the Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS). It was predicted that VPA from the WMS-III (VPA3) would be similar in agreement to the WMS-IV (VPA4) and that VPA4 …

The development and preliminary evaluation of a self-administered screening instrument for first rank symptoms and basic symptoms in psychotic and non psychotic disorders
… assessment of psychopathology is fundamental to clinical psychiatry. Schneider's (1959) First Rank Symptoms (FRS) are an integral part of numerous diagnostic criteria and Huber's Basic Symptoms (BS) are thought to form the basis of the FRS (Huber & Gross, 1989). The aim of the current study was …

The effects of proprioceptive training and dyad practice to improve sensorimotor function
… in proprioceptive and motor function and which populations may be receptive to such interventions.There is now also convincing empirical evidence that observational practice of motor learning can positively affect proprioceptive performance. Dyad practice is a form of sensorimotor learning in …

Analysis of Electrophysiological Markers and Correlated Components of Neural Responses to Discourse Coherence
… social interaction, and communication. In clinical populations with developmental disorders of speech comprehension, the severity of disruption can persist and vary from limiting occupational opportunities to lower performance outcomes. Previous research has reported an event-related …

Attention and Memory Dysfunction in Pain Patients While Controlling for Effort on the California Verbal Learning Test-11
… and memory performance was examined in two clinical populations (pain and mild traumatic brain injury) while controlling for effort using the Word Memory Test. Controlling for effort led to different explanations of poor performance on attention variables. While mild deficits were expected, …

Patterns of Change in Semantic Clustering in Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders: What Can it Tell Us about the Nature of Clustering Deficits
… a measure of learning strategies in a number of clinical populations and has been found to be deficient in individuals with Schizophrenia, but less attention has been paid to the dynamic use of this strategy over the course of fixed-order learning trials. In the current study, we examined this …

Temporal and spatial muscle synergy features and its neural origins during sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit tasks
… Reduced number of synergies have been found in populations with neurological disorders and the differences in the number of muscle synergies reflect descending neural pathway disruptions and present a correlation with motor deficits. Therefore, this review aims to understand the importance of …
