Memory Strategy Training Can Enhance Psychoeducation Outcomes for Dementia Family Caregivers
This study investigated caregiver outcomes when a psychoeducation program for older people with dementia and caregivers is modified to extend practice in memory strategies. Moderation effects of increased memory strategy use were also explored. Fifty-six care dyads participated in the multicenter, randomized controlled trial comparing psychoeducation (active control) with psychoeducation and memory strategy practice (intervention). Primary outcom…
Predictors of Long-Term Improvement in Subjective Everyday Memory Following a Memory Group Program for Older Adults
Objective: The present study aimed to examine predictors of improvement in subjective everyday memory ability 5 years following participation in a group cognitive-behavioral memory intervention for community-living older adults, the La Trobe and Caulfield Hospital (LaTCH) Memory Group program. Method: Participants were 61 healthy older adults and data were analyzed using one-way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA), hierarchical regress…
Identifying the sources of stress and rewards in a group of Australian apprentice jockeys
Previous stress-in-sport research has generally focused on elite athletes while overlooking the experiences of professional, paid athletes. Similarly, despite their susceptibility to chronic stress, professional athletes have rarely been examined by occupational stress researchers, and little is known about the adverse health effects of the stressors they experience. Despite the unique demands faced by jockeys, there is a paucity of research exam…
Relationship Between Control Beliefs, Strategy Use, and Memory Performance in Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment and Healthy Aging
Despite the weak relationship between control beliefs and strategy use, and control beliefs and memory performance for the aMCI group, the strong relationship between strategy use and memory performance provides impetus for further research into factors that can be used as a means of enhancing strategy use in interventions for aMCI

Assessment of decision-making capacity
Demands on neuropsychologists to assess decision-making capacity have increased over the years. Debate exists about appropriate methodology, and there is a prevailing attitude that neuropsychologists would benefit from a more consistent approach across the profession. This paper presents findings from a sample of Australian neuropsychologists (n = 52) who responded to an email questionnaire assessing how neuropsychologists approach assessments of…
Hopkins Verbal Learning Test
Normative data from 203 community-dwelling older Australian adults are presented in relation to performance on the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test. Age and years of education were identified as significantly impacting on performance. Therefore, data are presented for three separate age groups (60 – 69 years; 70 – 79 years; 80 – 89 years) and two different lengths of education groups. Comparison between the performance of the Australian sample and an…
Cognitive and psychosocial outcome after head injury in children
Neuropsychological and psychosocial assessment of 58 Victorian and South Australian school-aged children who sustained a closed head injury was carried out immediately postinjury and at 6 months follow-up. For those children whose head injury was defined as mild (length of coma less than 1 hour) outcome on all variables was good at both time points. Children with moderate to severe injury (length of coma greater than 1 hour) had lower WISC-R IQ s…
Performance on the Austin Maze
The Austin Maze is a complex visuo-spatial learning task commonly used in neuropsychological assessment. To some extent its use has been hampered by a lack of available normative data. In this study 109 normal young adults were assessed on the maze and 95 subjects were reassessed one month later to provide information on the number of trials required to reach criterion and the savings in learning at reassessment. Results of the study are provided
