Non-medical opioid (NMO) use in Canadian adolescents
Validity evidence for the use of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory, the Revised Children’s Anxiety and Depression Scale-25, and the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale in measurement-based ca…
There is evidence to support the use of these PROMs for MBC in child and adolescent mental health. However, further investigation is needed into response processes, internal structure, and to establish clinically meaningful thresholds to improve interpretability, and ensure the validity of their use

Altered Error Monitoring and Decreased Flanker Task Accuracy in Pediatric Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder
School and learning contexts during the Covid-19 pandemic
Despite significant disruption to school during the COVID-19 pandemic, research on the impact on children is sparse. This study examines in-person and virtual learning contexts and the impact of school format on mental health (MH). Children and adolescents were recruited from community and clinical settings. Parents and children completed prospective online surveys about school experiences (November 2020) and MH symptoms (February/March 2021), in…

Obsessive‐compulsive disorder in children and youth
BACKGROUND: Neurocognitive impairments are common in OCD, although not well studied in children and youth with the disorder. METHOD: Using the stop-signal task (SST), we measured response inhibition (stop-signal reaction time-SSRT), sustained attention (reaction time variability-RTV), reaction time (RT), and performance monitoring (post-error slowing-PES) in OCD cases and controls from two samples of children and youth. A Clinic OCD group (n = 17…
Hyperfocus or flow? Attentional strengths in autism spectrum disorder
The comorbidity of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnoses is well established. An ASD diagnosis is associated with elevated ADHD traits and symptoms, as well as strengths in attention. In the ASD literature, attentional strengths have been described as maladaptive (e.g., hyperfocus), in contrast with positive portrayals in the typically developing population (e.g., flow). The objective of this…
Visuomotor Activation of Inhibition-Processing in Pediatric Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Background: Response inhibition engages the cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical (CSTC) circuit, which has been implicated in children, and youth with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). This study explored whether CSTC engagement during response inhibition, measured using magnetoencephalography (MEG), differed in a sample of medication-naïve youth with OCD, compared to typically developing controls (TDC). Methods: Data was analyzed in 17 medication…
Screening for Pediatric Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder Using the Obsessive–Compulsive Inventory-Child Version
A Diagnostic Biomarker for Pediatric Generalized Anxiety Disorder Using the Error-Related Negativity
Prediction and Understanding of Resilience in Albertan Families
Exposure to a natural disaster in childhood can have serious, long-lasting consequences, impacting physical and mental health, development, and learning. Although many children experience negative effects after a disaster, the majority do not, and what differentiates these groups is not well understood. Some of the factors that influence disaster-related outcomes in the midst of adversity include parents' mental health, the home environment, and …

Changes in Female Student Sexual Behaviour during the Transition to University
This study examines how female university students' sexual behaviour changes in the transitional stage of leaving home for university. Participants (n=273) were asked to rate how much change they had experienced in their sexual behaviour since arriving on campus, and to describe this change. A Likert scale was used to measure change. The most prevalent response indicated that 41 per cent of participants experienced ‘no change’. This was supported…
Oral conversations between hearing-impaired children and their normally hearing peers and teachers
Twelve hearing-impaired children (mean age 8;8 years) were videotaped as they each constructed Lego models with two partners: a normally hearing peer and a teacher. A comparison was made between their utterances and spoken turns with peers and teachers. The frequency of these did not differ between the two, although they took more total turns (verbal and nonverbal) with teachers than peers. With peers their turns contained more utterances and the…
Opinions Towards Sexual Partners with a Large Age Difference
Attitudes towards heterosexual sexual relationships, where there is a large age difference between the partners, were investigated. The media assumption that public opinion objects to large age-different relationships and that this objection is more pronounced for relationships where the female is considerably older was examined. One hundred and twenty-two participants completed a questionnaire comprising one scenario of an age-different relation…
Bisensory augmentation
Reisberg, McLean, and Goldfield (1987) have shown that vision plays a part in the perception of speech even when the auditory signal is clearly audible and intact. Using an alternative method the present study replicated their finding. Clearly audible spoken messages were presented in audio-only and audio-visual conditions, and the adult participants' resulting comprehension was measured. Stories were presented in French (Expt 1), in a Glaswegian…
Memory for Faces and Objects by Deaf and Hearing Signers and Hearing Nonsigners
The Structure and Optimization of Speechreading
Erber (1988) has claimed that one of the reasons for the ascendancy of hearing aids has been the loss of confidence in speechreading. Speechreading can be of value to those suffering from presbyacusis and other hearing disorders, in augmenting hearing aids and cochlear implants, for large numbers of people in developing countries who are unable to afford electronic aids, and for those in advanced countries who are reluctant to wear an aid. I disc…
Counting processes in deaf children's arithmetic
Ten profoundly deaf children and 10 hearing controls matched for arithmetical achievement were given integer additions to classify as right or wrong. Hearing children perform this task by using covert counting strategies which have been assumed to be subvocal. In view of deaf children's poor spoken language abilities it was expected that the deaf group would make little or no use of such covert counting strategies and would rely more on alternati…
Concreteness, Imagery and Meaningfulness Values for 50 Spatial and Temporal Words
21 females and 14 males helped to scale 50 spatial and temporal words for abstract-concreteness, imagery, and meaningfulness. The procedure followed that of Paivio, Yuille and Madigan (1968)
The Artaud Experiment
With the intransigence of an innovator who feels himself inspired, Antonin Artaud, by an imperious gesture of the pen, by an imperious gesture of the mind, wrote off about two thousand three hundred years of theatre. Of Western theatre. We are in the early thirties. This was the period when Louis Jouvet successfully produced the masterpieces of Jean Giraudoux: the period of Electra and her half-god, half-prophet Beggar, just before the Trojan War…
