Poorer event-based compared to time-based prospective memory in a computerized household chores task
Remembering to carry out deferred tasks in the future is referred to as Prospective Memory (PM). In everyday life, PM can often require switching attention between environmental stimuli, but traditional laboratory PM tasks do not necessarily capture this task element. The aim of the current study was to compare event- and time-based PM in a House PM task, designed to capture this component of PM by requiring individuals to remember to complete mu…
Dizziness and imbalance and their association with general and mental health in a community-based cross-sectional study of middle-aged individuals
Dizziness or imbalance are common symptoms among individuals aged 45 to 70 years and are associated with older age, being female, and poorer general and mental health. Given that approximately half of those affected reported occasional effects on daily life, with a few reporting frequent or constant effects, the outcomes of the study could help to raise awareness among healthcare providers about the prevalence, symptoms, and associated conditions
Cognitive Dysfunction in Insomnia Phenotypes
Study Objectives: To determine cognitive profiles in individuals with short sleep duration insomnia (SSDI) and normal sleep duration insomnia (NSDI; also, paradoxical insomnia), compared to healthy sleepers. Method: Polysomnographic (PSG) and neuropsychological data were analysed from 902 community-based Raine Study participants aged 22 ± 0.6 years of whom 124 met criteria for insomnia (53 with NSDI and 71 with or SSDI) and 246 were classified as…
Investigating Potential Dose–Response Relationships between Vitamin D Status and Cognitive Performance
Low vitamin D status has been linked to adverse cognitive outcomes in older adults. However, relationships at higher levels remain uncertain. We aimed to clarify patterns of association between vitamin D status and cognitive performance, using flexible regression methods, in 4872 middle- to older-aged adults (2678 females) from the Busselton Healthy Ageing Study. Cross-sectional associations of serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) and perf…
Prevalence and patterns of multimorbidity in Australian baby boomers
Multimorbidity is common among middle-aged adults from a general population. Some conditions associated with ageing such as arthritis, bowel disease and depression-anxiety co-occur in clinically distinct patterns and at higher prevalence than expected by chance. These findings may inform further studies into shared biological and environmental causes of co-occurring conditions of ageing. Recognition of distinct patterns of multimorbidity may aid …
Correlates of physical activity and sedentary time in young adults
Less desirable correlates were associated with positive levels of activity in young Australian adult women and men. Interventions to increase MVPA and decrease sedentary activity in young adults need to specifically consider the life stage of young adults
Expectancy bias in anxious samples
Although it is well documented that anxious individuals have negative expectations about the future, it is unclear what cognitive processes give rise to this expectancy bias. Two studies are reported that use the Expectancy Task, which is designed to assess expectancy bias and illuminate its basis. This task presents individuals with valenced scenarios (Positive Valence, Negative Valence, or Conflicting Valence), and then evaluates their tendency…
Rationale, design and methods for a community-based study of clustering and cumulative effects of chronic disease processes and their effects on ageing
This study will enable a thorough characterization of multiple disease processes and their risk factors within a community-based sample of individuals to determine their singular, interactive and cumulative effects on ageing. The project will provide novel cross-sectional data and establish a cohort that will be used for longitudinal analyses of the genetic, lifestyle and environmental factors that determine whether an individual ages well or wit…
Emotion regulation and aggression
Interpretation of Emotionally Ambiguous Faces in Older Adults
Research suggests that there is an age-related decline in the processing of negative emotional information, which may contribute to the reported decline in emotional problems in older people. We used a signal detection approach to investigate the effect of normal aging on the interpretation of ambiguous emotional facial expressions. High-functioning older and younger adults indicated which emotion they perceived when presented with morphed faces …
