Comparison of the Effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression among Older Versus Younger Veterans: Results of a National Evaluation
CBT-D resulted in significant improvements in depression and quality of life among older patients. Outcomes and rate of attrition were equivalent to younger patients. Findings indicate that CBT-D is an effective and acceptable treatment for older veterans in real-world settings with often high levels of depression
Intraindividual Variability in Basic Reaction Time Predicts Middle-Aged and Older Pilots' Flight Simulator Performance
IIV plays an important role in real-world tasks and is another aspect of cognition that underlies age-related differences in cognitive performance
Initial Cognitive Performance Predicts Longitudinal Aviator Performance
These data suggest that longitudinal performance on an important real-world activity can be predicted by initial assessment of relevant cognitive abilities
Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitor in Combination With Cognitive Training in Older Adults
To determine if donepezil, an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor, improved the assimilation of cognitive training by older adults with memory complaints, we gave 168 nondemented, community-dwelling volunteers with memory complaints either 5 mg of donepezil (Aricept) or placebo daily for 6 weeks in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The dosage rose to 10 mg daily for another 6 weeks before a 2-week course of cognitive trainin…
Should One Use Medications in Combination With Cognitive Training? If So, Which Ones
In this article, we review current research regarding diagnosis of cognitive impairment in nondemented adults and discuss why medications and cognitive training together may be more beneficial than either alone. We also review potential cognitive enhancers and future research challenges. There are major reasons for such research: (a) Large numbers of older adults without dementia but with cognitive problems are not treatable with current cognitiv…
Cognitive interventions to improve faceame recall: The role of personality trait differences
Cognitive interventions to improve face-name recall: The role of personality trait differences
To explore the relationship of personality trait differences to the ability of older adults to benefit from an intervention to improve face-name recall, 3 previously validated methods of intervention were used in conjunction with the NEO Personality Inventory (Costa & McCrae, 1985b). Subjects were 156 community-dwelling elderly. The three treatment conditions all included a standard imagery mnemonic for remembering names and faces but differed in…
Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS): Recent Evidence and Development of a Shorter Version

Concurrent Validity of the Overcontrolled Hostility Scale for Psychotics
MMPI Overcontrolled Hostility scores of 31 male psychotic inpatients correlated negligibly with scores on measures of expressed hostility and assaultiveness. The scale does not appear useful as an index of potential for violence by acute inpatients
Mathematical and empirical development of a test of memory for clinical and research use

Screening Tests for Geriatric Depression
Contends that the diagnosis of depression in aged patients is the responsibility of both psychologists, and non-psychologists, for it is the latter that is most likely to make initial contact with an elder in need of help. Describes problems in the use of psychometric tests to identify geriatric depression. Reviews the advantages and disadvantages and limitations of scales currently employed. Introduces a new Geriatric Depression Scale and demons…
Development and validation of a geriatric depression screening scale: A preliminary report
Analysis of Responses to the Personal Opinion Survey by a Sample of Inpatients
The utility of employing the Personal Opinion Survey as a measure of experienced control with psychiatric inpatients was examined for a sample of 71 patients in a psychiatric acute-care setting. Retest correlations suggested that 5 of the 7 scales were relatively stable over a 1- to 2-wk. interval. Correlations between scores on the survey and ratings of patients on the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale were presented and discussed, as were relation…
