Background: As suicide rates have continued to rise, suicide prevention efforts turned toward identifying factors through which initial onset of suicidal ideation (SI) transitions to attempted suicide. Evidence suggests that when...
Background: Suicide is a major public health concern. To facilitate treatment and prevention efforts, prior research has focused on the identification of a small set of factors that might differentiate between ideators and attempters....
Rumination has been identified as a transdiagnostic risk factor associated with the development and maintenance of multiple psychological symptoms in children and adolescents. Additionally, a growing body of literature has linked...
Children with ADHD show impairments in set shifting task performance. However, directly training shifting has not improved task performance in this population. We hypothesized that this incongruence may be because the impairments...
Abstract Superior decision-making in chess is thought to rely on a combination of knowledge and search. Research has focused primarily on the chess knowledge base reflected by the importance to chess research of the short-term memory...
Research has consistently demonstrated a link between spatial and math skills as well as a link between spatial and math anxieties and their respective cognitive skill (i.e., links between math anxiety and math performance). However, ...
Theories of suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) have long guided treatment and prevention efforts. Meta-analytic investigation into general risk factors, psychopathology, and STB related clinical instruments indicated chance level...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the shared and unique contributions of three metalinguistic skills to the word reading and reading comprehension abilities of Adult Basic Education (ABE) students. Across studies, the...
A Monte Carlo simulation was conducted to examine the conditions under which the simple difference and residualized change scores were more or less powerful than each other, and if the two estimators produced a biased estimate of the...
BACKGROUND: Exposure to weight stigma increases food consumption in individuals who are—or perceive themselves to be—overweight, and such exposure predicts greater odds of binge eating. To date, however, no study has experimentally...
Distress intolerance (DI) is a transdiagnostic individual difference variable reflective of the capacity to withstand aversive psychological states. DI is typically measured with self-report questionnaires or behaviorally via quit...
This study examined the generality of rumination and its associations with multiple indices of trait level affect and socio-emotional functioning using both variable-centered and person-centered approaches to data analysis. Participants...
As the rate of stroke increases, the rate of aphasia, an acquired impairment of language and communication, also increases. Aphasia can result in many impairments, including alexia, or acquired reading difficulties. Yet, research in this...
Historically, identification of learning disabilities (LD) has been considered specific to a particular academic domain (e.g., reading disability & math disability), however, behavioral genetic research has shown substantial genetic...
Throughout the literature, there is a well-documented discrepancy between rating of children's behaviors across different informants, typically parents and teachers. Many different theories have been investigated to address the root of...
Do people grant moral exemplars the benefit of the doubt for bad behavior, or hold them to a higher standard than morally average targets? Across 5 studies, we compared evaluations of moral character between exemplars and 'average Joes'...
The goal of the present study is to examine the construct validity of the Spanish translation of the Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire (INQ) - a self-report questionnaire assessing suicide relevant constructs. Translation occurred...
There is a large body of research on the numerical abilities underlying math achievement, but less is known about mathematical reasoning and its relationship to other math abilities. The present study is the first step of a project with...
The 'simple view of reading' is an influential model of reading comprehension which asserts that children's reading comprehension performance can be explained entirely by their decoding and language comprehension skills. Children with...
Reading is a critical skill that is influenced by socioeconomic factors. It is well-established that reading is influenced by genetic and environmental factors, and recent studies have suggested that genetic effects on reading may be...
Conceptual knowledge about suicide represents a potential necessary cause for experiencing suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Although some indirect evidence for this view exists, this hypothesis has not yet been directly tested. The...
Recently, we reported that bilateral gustatory cortex (GC) lesions significantly impair taste sensitivity to salts in rats. Here we sought to extend the range of tastants tested to include sucrose and quinine in rats with ibotenic acid...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether Spanish-speaking language minority children develop conceptual knowledge (Cummins, 1981) that is common to their two languages alongside development of proficiency in their first (L1) and...
ADHD is a behavioral cognitive correlate of achievement associated with lower reading performance. The externalizing and internalizing symptoms that characterize ADHD behaviors negatively impact the engagement of students experiencing...
Vocabulary knowledge is a critical aspect to an individual's ability to read, communicate, and acquire new knowledge. Deficits in vocabulary knowledge, which may appear as early as one year of age, are long-lasting and are associated...
Religiosity has repeatedly been shown to be associated with reduced suicidal behavior. Proposed explanations for this effect have alluded to constructs related to the interpersonal theory of suicide (i.e., Perceived Burdensomeness, ...
Comprehension is a foundational skill that is essential to learning. One often overlooked aspect of teaching and assessing comprehension is the role of the properties of the text itself. The current study investigated various indices of...
Several cognitive components are thought to explain the relation of rapid serial naming and reading ability including the constructs of phonological access, attention, automaticity, articulation, global processing speed, and visual...
Within the framework of the interpersonal-psychological theory of suicide, the acquired capability for suicide is viewed as the factor that differentiates individuals who die by suicide versus those who have the desire to die, but are...
Research examining associations between eating pathology and interpersonal functioning has largely been cross-sectional and focused on female adolescents, with existing longitudinal investigations focused on a model in which...
Whereas it is generally accepted that theory of mind and language are related constructs, the nature of the relation remains unclear. Past research has suggested that two related, but distinct, components of theory of mind are...
The Relationship between Completed High School and College Courses and Gains in Standardized Test Performance from the Perspective of the Expert Performance Approach
There are several parallels between the acquisition of expert performance and the learning by students in high school and college courses. High school and college course experience includes prolonged, intensive practice on learning...
Research has firmly established that children of divorce tend to divorce at a higher rate than the general population. The mechanism driving the intergenerational transmission of divorce, however, has not been firmly established. The two...
The present study utilized a latent variable modeling approach to examine the Simple View of Reading in a sample of students from 3rd, 7th, and 10th grades (N = 215, 188, and 180 respectively). A series of nested latent interaction...
Math achievement is an important predictor of progression to later science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education and careers. However, attitudinal factors also play a role, and interventions attempting to improve math...
This study examined the relationships between reading comprehension and breadth, depth, and fluency of word knowledge in third- and seventh-grade students. The Expressive One-Word Picture Vocabulary Test-Third Edition (EOWPVT) and the...
Two hundred and three third-grade students took part in a study that examined the relationships between three dimensions of word knowledge and reading comprehension. Each participant was administered six measures of word knowledge. The...
