Cell phone and mobile technology use, rising among U.S. teenagers in the decades since its introduction, is now pervasive among high school students (http://www.pewinternet.org/Reports/2013/Teens-and-Tech.aspx). With the observed...
Neurcognitive Function and Dementia in Early versus Late-Onset Depression: Relation to the Glucocorticoid Cascade and Prodrome Hypotheses of Depression and Dementia
Depression is associated with subsequent dementia in older adults, and two distinct, but not mutually exclusive, hypotheses have been suggested to account for this relationship. The "glucocorticoid cascade hypothesis" posits depression...
This study assessed the extent to which multiple administrations of an intensity scale; in this case, the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ), influences participant responding on subsequent administrations of the same scale. The...
In research on skilled performance, emphasis has traditionally been placed on the movement from actively controlled performance to automatic performance as experience increases. Expert performance theory proposes that superior...
Depression and Alzheimer's disease (AD) occur frequently in geriatric patients, but it is difficult to identify which depressed patients are in the preclinical AD phase due to the overlapping cognitive impairment in depression and AD....

The present investigation sought to examine and replicate previously observed patterns of both normal progressive and regressive saccades, as well as to further understand regression behavior by using a new experimental paradigm for...
The externalizing dimension is viewed as a broad dispositional factor underlying risk for numerous disinhibitory (impulse control) disorders. Prior work has documented deficits in event-related brain potential (ERP) responses in...
