The gap between need and resources is urgent in emerging adulthood—This is an opportunity
Kazdin's (2024) article details the urgent need for adjuvant treatment approaches focused on how individuals live in daily life. This is an essential pathway to reduce suffering given the global prevalence of psychological distress. We strongly agree and add that a targeted focus on the period of emerging adulthood is of vital importance. Evidence is consistent and compelling that need is high in this stressful developmental period, with the firs…
Investigating Effects of Cold Water Hand Immersion on Selective Attention in Normobaric Hypoxia
This study investigated the effect of cold-water hand immersion on selective attention as measured by the Stroop Color Word Test in nomorbaric normoxia and hypoxia. Ten healthy men rested for 60 min, after which they immersed their non-dominant hand into 5 °C water for 15 min. The interference score of the Stroop Color Word Test and thermal sensation were measured at baseline in the final 5 min of resting and in the final 5 min of cold water hand…
The Association Between Reduced Inflammation and Cognitive Gains After Bariatric Surgery
OBJECTIVE: Bariatric surgery is associated with improved cognitive function, although the mechanisms are unclear. Elevated inflammation is common in obesity and associated with impaired cognition. Inflammation decreases after bariatric surgery, implicating it as a possible mechanism for cognitive improvement. The objective of this study was to examine whether reduced inflammation is a possible mechanism for postoperative cognitive improvement in …
Surgical and Nonsurgical Interventions for Obesity in Service of Preserving Cognitive Function
OBJECTIVES: The purposes of this article are to highlight what is currently known about the mechanisms of obesity-related cognitive impairment and weight loss-related cognitive improvement, and to discuss the benefits and drawbacks of available treatments. METHODS: The article is based on a live debate, presenting the main advantages and disadvantages of exercise interventions and bariatric surgery as related to cognitive functioning. The live de…
Inhibitory Control in Pediatric Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling Disorder)
The Interactive Effects of Cerebral Perfusion and Depression on Cognitive Function in Older Adults With Heart Failure
OBJECTIVE: Depression is common among persons with heart failure (HF) and has been linked to cognitive impairment in this population. The mechanisms of this relationship are unclear, and the current study examined whether cerebral perfusion moderates the association between depressive symptoms and cognitive impairment in patients with HF. METHODS: Persons with HF (n = 89; mean [standard deviation] age = 67.61 [11.78] years) completed neuropsychol…
Depressive Symptomatology, Exercise Adherence, and Fitness Are Associated With Reduced Cognitive Performance in Heart Failure
This study suggests depression in HF may adversely impact cognitive function through reduced cardiovascular fitness. Prospective studies are needed to determine whether treatment of depression can lead to better lifestyle behaviors and ultimately improve neurocognitive outcomes in HF
Cognitive Function and Treatment Adherence in Older Adults With Heart Failure
OBJECTIVE: Treatment recommendation and guidelines for patients with heart failure (HF) can be complex, and past work has shown that patients with HF demonstrate low rates of adherence to recommended health behaviors. Although previous work has identified several medical, demographic, and psychosocial predictors of the capacity to adhere to treatment recommendations of persons with HF, little is known about the contribution of cognitive impairmen…
Self-control predicts later symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder
Self-control, the ability to control one’s thoughts and actions, is perhaps one of the most important constructs in human psychology. Tangney, Baumeister, & Boone, (2004) found that greater levels of self-control were related to higher grade point averages, better relationships and interpersonal skills, secure attachment styles, greater optimal emotional responses to stressful situations, fewer reports of psychopathology, less binge eating and al…
