High levels of patient self advocacy may confound clinical research in understudied patient populations
To examine the levels of patient self-advocacy in a sample of participants with Chiari Malformation (CM) and to explore how they relate to clinical outcomes. As part of a larger clinical trial addressing chronic pain in patients with CM, 111 participants completed the Patient Self Advocacy Scale (PSAS), the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21), and the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). PSAS scores indicated a moderately high level of patient…
Limited effects of phone coaching in an RCT of online self-guided acceptance and commitment therapy for chronic pain
Over 80% of patients with Chiari Malformation (CM) struggle with moderate to severe disability due to neck pain and headaches. Self-guided online Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is efficacious in addressing chronic pain. However, it is unclear whether adjunctive weekly phone coaching (a cost- and labor-intensive component of the intervention) contributes to, or provides additional benefit to, ACT's success. This study randomized 112 parti…

Alexithymia in men
The present study extended existing research on alexithymia in men, investigating whether the deficit in processing emotions occurs early in the process, as a result of dissociation or repression, or later, as a result of suppression. We also examined the assumption in Levant’s (2011) normative male alexithymia hypothesis that men with alexithymia would show the greatest deficits in identifying words for emotions discouraged by masculine norms th…
Redundancy Gain and Coactivation in Bimodal Detection
Previous investigations of adult age differences in the redundant signals effect suggest that both older and younger adults benefit from the presentation of redundant information. However, age deficits in divided attention may cause older adults to process redundant information in a different manner. In the present experiment, we tested between two competing explanations for the redundant signals effect: separate activation and coactivation. To i…
Age Differences in Central (Semantic) and Peripheral Processing
In this project we examined the effect of adult age on visual word recognition by using combined reaction time (RT) and accuracy methods based on the Hick-Hyman law. This was necessary because separate Brinley analyses of RT and errors resulted in contradicting results. We report the results of a lexical decision task experiment (with 96 younger adults and 97 older adults). We transformed the error data into entropy and then predicted RT by using…
Differential Age Effects in Semantic and Episodic Memory
Results from 4 experimental tasks and 8 data sets (the 4 tasks involved either multiple sessions or different stimuli) as well as a vocabulary test conducted on the same 80 participants (40 younger and 40 older adults) are reported. The authors employed 2 semantic memory tasks (lexical decision and multiplication verification) using data from 2 sessions (for a total of 4 semantic data sets) and 2 episodic memory tasks (hybrid visual search and me…
Age Differences in Mental Multiplication
This study reports two mental multiplication experiments that were designed to measure age differences in central and peripheral processes. Experiment 1 varied task type (verification vs production), and Experiment 2 varied exposure duration (presentation until response, 600 ms, and 300 ms) on a production task. Neither experiment showed evidence of age differences in central processes (e.g., retrieval speed); however, there was some evidence of …
