Abstract:

[Truncated abstract] Background: Dementia, largely due to Alzheimer's disease (AD), is a major public health problem. The early identification of disease is an important challenge for clinicians because treatment of AD is now available. A simple and accurate means of stratifying risk for AD and identifying early disease is needed so that risk factor modification and treatment can occur optimally. To date, despite many attempts, an accurate means of standardising an approach to the assessment of subtle cognitive symptoms has not been developed. A subjective complaint of poor memory has been ide

Abstract:

In recent years there has been a substantial increase in research examining the role of subjective memory complaints (SMC) in cognitive function and Alzheimer’s disease. These studies have related SMC to many different cognitive outcomes, such as retaining normal cognitive function, a fluctuating cognitive performance and the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Most of these studies have focused on older populations and have employed a limited assessment of cognitive function. This limits the available evidence regarding the clinical utility of SMC.

Abstract:

The purpose of this investigation was to examine the validity of the Woodcock Johnson Tests of Cognitive Ability-Revised (WJTCA-R) in discriminating between individuals with neurological or psychiatric impairments and those without known impairment. The primary question was whether WJTCA-R Standard Battery test scores significantly differentiated between individuals with brain-damage (n = 36), depression (n = 21), and without known impairments (n = 32). Archival data obtained for the development of a new neuropsychological assessment measure utilizing the WJTCA-R was analyzed. The results of a

Abstract:

One of the major goals of cognitive neuroscience is to better understand the psychological and neural bases of human executive-attention. Executive or supervisory attention refers to a collection of higher-order cognitive functions whose primary contribution to behavior is to support controlled information processing and action. The capacity to control attention is essential for our adaptive interaction with the environment because it allows flexibility in our responses to ever changing situational contexts and demands. Executive-attention processes therefore play a unique role in shaping the

Dementia is a growing social problem in Australia because as the population ages, the incidence of dementia increases.

It is expected that by the year 2030, the number of elderly people with dementia will increase by 200%. Dementia is easily recognized in its advanced stages but can be overlooked in the early phase.

Abstract:

<p> Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most challenging children’s public health concerns today. Children diagnosed with ADHD struggle more academically and are at a significant risk of lower academic achievement, increased grade-level retention, and additional diagnoses of learning disabilities. Symptoms of ADHD primarily arise from deficits in specific executive function (EF) domains, one of which is working memory (WM). Children diagnosed are impaired on tasks that specifically measure WM capacity and short-term visuo-spatial memory. In this study, four fift

Abstract:

Delayed sleep phase disorder (DSPD) is the most common circadian rhythm sleep disorder. Persons with DSPD have great difficulties falling asleep and waking up at conventional times. To diagnose DSPD this delayed sleep-wake rhythm should cause social impairment and distress for the individual. Evening melatonin and morning bright light are the recommended treatments. The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate at-home treatment with Light therapy (LT) and the feasibility of adding cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) to LT in DSPD, furthermore prevalence, diagnostic aspects and associated factor

INTRODUÇÃO: O envelhecimento da população é uma tendência social conhecida em países desenvolvidos e cada vez mais pronunciada em países em desenvolvimento. A demência é considerada um dos principais problemas de saúde devido ao rápido crescimento populacional de idosos, sendo os distúrbios de linguagem considerados importantes nesses quadros. O discurso tem ganhado destaque para a identificação dos distúrbios linguísticos nas demências assim como no seguimento desses pacientes. A caracterização das diferenças pode auxiliar no diagnóstico diferencial e contribuir para a criação de ferramentas

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was twofold: to determine the construct validities of comparable AD/HD instruments that were developed according to our current, DSM-IV classification system for AD/HD; and to identify potential +neurocognitive and socioemotional markers for AD/HD. The sample consisted of 145 children ages 8 to 11 years of age who were diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD), or Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD). Children were administered a battery of neurocognitive tests and completed a self-report measure of personality. Parents completed several,

Abstract:

This study has examined the effect of 3 doses of Methylphenidate (MPH) on the speed of motor and cognitive performance in children diagnosed with ADHD. Thirty children clinically diagnosed with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) aged 6-12 years were recruited through the ADHD Clinic and the Severe and Disruptive Behavior Disorders Program at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute. The three doses of MPH were administered according to a double blind randomized cross-over three day trial (0.3; 0.5 0.8 mg/kg/day in a bid schedule). An improvement across all three doses of MPH

Abstract:

Medication and psychotherapy have been used traditionally to treat the symptoms of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The purpose of this research was to evaluate the use of a cognitive behavioural self-control program, Orlick's (1998) Positive-Living Skills (PLS) program on three male children ages 8 to 9-years-old with ADHD. The PLS program teaches children skills including relaxation, focus and distraction control. A multiple case study method was administered to determine (a) whether the participants enjoyed the PLS programs; (b) the extent to which the skills were implement
