Hernández Finch, Maria E.; Trammell, Beth; Hulse, Asia R.; Finch, William H.; Wildrick, Aimee; Floyd, Elizabeth F.; Pittenger, Jenna; McIntosh, David E. – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
Understanding the relationship between executive functioning and its connection to working memory and adaptive functioning can inform planning and employment efforts. This study explored the relationship between memory and adaptive functioning with a sample of Autistic youths/young adults. Participant mean age was 21.3 (SD = 3.0). Of the 22…

Decision-Making in People with Mild Intellectual Disability: Relations with Intelligence and a Measure of Executive Functioning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Fusinska-Korpik, Agnieszka; Gacek, Michal – Journal of Intellectual & Developmental Disability, 2022
Background: In this study we aimed to explore how intelligence and executive functioning are related to decision-making regarding social situations in persons with mild ID. Method: We studied 80 vocational school students with mild ID; the controls were 80 students of a similar age. We assessed decision-making ability with the Important Life…

The Neural Bases of Multimodal Sensory Integration in Older Adults
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Diaz, Michele T.; Yalcinbas, Ege – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2021
Although hearing often declines with age, prior research has shown that older adults may benefit from multisensory input to a greater extent when compared to younger adults, a concept known as inverse effectiveness. While there is behavioral evidence in support of this phenomenon, less is known about its neural basis. The present functional MRI…

Both Individual and Group-Based Neuropsychological Interventions of Dyslexia Improve Processing Speed in Young Adults: A Randomized Controlled Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Nukari, Johanna M.; Poutiainen, Erja T.; Arkkila, Eva P.; Haapanen, Marja-Leena; Lipsanen, Jari O.; Laasonen, Marja R. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2020
Effectiveness of individual and group-based neuropsychological interventions on cognitive aspects of dyslexia in young adults was evaluated. Dyslexic adults were randomly assigned into individual intervention (n = 40), group intervention (n = 40), or wait-list control group (n = 40). The interventions focused on cognitive strategy learning,…

Del Tufo, Stephanie N.; Earle, F. Sayako – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2020
Developmental language disorder (DLD) and developmental dyslexia (DD) are two prevalent subtypes of Specific Learning Disabilities (SLDs; "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" [5th ed.; DSM-5]). Yet, little information is available regarding the distinct challenges faced by adults with DLD and/or DD in college. The…

Declines in Representational Quality and Strategic Retrieval Processes Contribute to Age-Related Increases in False Recognition
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Trelle, Alexandra N.; Henson, Richard N.; Green, Deborah A. E.; Simons, Jon S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
In a Yes/No object recognition memory test with similar lures, older adults typically exhibit elevated rates of false recognition. However, the contributions of impaired retrieval, relative to reduced availability of target details, are difficult to disentangle using such a test. The present investigation sought to decouple these factors by…
