A Global Perspective on Psychologists' and Their Organizations' Response to a World Crisis
Around the world, individual psychologists have stepped up to deliver essential services to address the social and emotional sequelae of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many psychological organizations have also responded to this public health crisis, though their efforts may be less widely recognized. Psychological organizations engaged in preventive and mitigation efforts targeted, among others, the general public, local communities, and high-risk group…
Performance and symptom validity testing in neuropsychological assessments in Australia
Objective: Validity test failures within neuropsychological assessments are common. This study aimed to assess current practise. Method: Australian psychologists completed an online survey evaluating their approach to validity issues. Results: There were 102 participants (75% female, mean age 41.68 (11.72), 88% clinical neuropsychologists or registrars, 35% conducting 10+ assessments in medico-legal settings, 88% conducting 10+ assessments in cli…
Psychological science and Covid-19
This report summarizes what is known about the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and proposes ways for psychology organizations to engage in addressing pandemic-related challenges. A stress and coping framework is used to describe key factors that account for mental health difficulties resulting from the stress of pandemics including the pandemic course, political leadership and public response, cumulative stressors, risk and protecti…
Excellence in research in Australia
ObjectiveThe Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) data collections completed in 2010, 2012, 2015, and 2018 were developed by the Australian Research Council (ARC) to measure the quality of the research produced by the broad range of Australian tertiary education institutions.MethodThis analysis compared the ratings of the 41 Australian universities across the years 2010, 2012, 2015, and 2018 for the psychology codes (i.e., 17, 1701, 1702, a…
Are Tests of Premorbid Functioning Subject to the Flynn Effect
ObjectiveWhile there is a wealth of research into the Flynn effect, as yet no research exists examining the effect on tests of premorbid functioning. This study investigated the ability of the National Adult Reading Test (NART), the Wechsler Test of Adult Reading (WTAR), and the Test of Premorbid Functioning (TOPF) to predict premorbid IQ. It was hypothesised that the tests of premorbid functioning would produce differing premorbid IQ estimates, …

In each evaluation, the quality of research produced by the institutions was rated on a 5‐point scale ranging from “well above world standard” to “well below world standard” within e…
Investigating Discrepancies between Predicted and Observed Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale‐Version IV Full‐Scale Intelligence Quotient Scores in a Non‐Clinical Sample
ObjectiveIn neuropsychological assessment estimates of how a client was performing prior to an injury is achieved by using instruments that have been developed to predict premorbid abilities, such as the National Adult Reading Test (NART), the re‐standardised NART (NART‐2), the Wechsler Test of Adult Reading (WTAR), and the Test of Premorbid Functioning (TOPF), and comparing these to scores from tests of current ability, such as the Wechsler Adul…

ObjectiveThe Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) assessment exercises undertaken in 2010 and 2012 were developed by the Australian Research Council (ARC) with the aim of identifying and promoting excellence in research across the full spectrum of research activity in Australia's higher education institutions.MethodThree fields of research are relevant to psychology and are denoted by the following codes: 1701 (psychology), 1702 (cognitive …
Assessing the Neurocognitive Disorders of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Fifth Edition)
The changes to the category of neurocognitive disorders (NCDs) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Fifth Edition) (DSM‐5) include the fact that the diagnoses of both dementia and amnestic disorders are now subsumed under the new category of major NCD. While the term dementia is not precluded from use in the manual, its presence and effect has been significantly reduced. The DSM‐5 also now recognises a less severe form of…
The Relationship Between Neuropsychological Functioning and Mental Health Outcomes of Chronic Alcohol Users Involved in Counselling
This study examined the neuropsychological profile, mental health outcomes, and coping strategies of chronic alcohol users involved in drug and alcohol counselling and investigated whether these factors could predict treatment outcome. The findings indicated that as compared with controls, chronic alcohol users demonstrated significant deficits in visuospatial, memory and executive functioning, and a higher level of emotional distress. At a 3‐mon…
Reduced Verbal Memory Retention is Unrelated to Sleep Disturbance During Pregnancy
This study investigated episodic and procedural memory retention in early and late pregnancy and whether memory retention was related to sleep disruption. Twenty‐six women in the third trimester of pregnancy, 20 women in the first trimester of pregnancy, and 24 non‐pregnant controls were administered a battery of verbal and visual episodic memory tasks and two procedural memory tasks before undergoing an overnight sleep study. Memory retention wa…
The Simple Copy Task
The Simple Copy Task (SCT) is a figure copying test with inherent appeal due to its short administration time, graded task difficulty, varied stimuli, and potential to eliminate floor effects. Despite this, there is a lack of data regarding its construct validity and diagnostic utility. The present study compared SCT performance of schizophrenia (n = 29), dementia (n = 64), and movement disorder (n = 12) groups with that of unmatched healthy cont…
An Analogue Study of the Psychological and Psychosocial Processes Associated With Post‐concussion Symptoms
This study used an analogue design to investigate post‐concussion syndrome and the psychological and psychosocial processes associated with post‐concussion symptom (PCSx) reporting. The study examined the role of expectation in reporting of PCSx, the nature of associated psychological and psychosocial difficulties, and the “good‐old‐days” phenomenon. Forty‐five healthy participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: (1) a control group …
Relationship between worry, anxiety and thought suppression and the components of working memory in a non-clinical sample
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between worry and working memory performance. Sixty-one healthy adults (31 men and 30 women) ranging in age from 18 to 63 years were given three questionnaires (the Worry Domains Questionnaire, the State – Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the White Bear Suppression Inventory) and six working memory tasks (the Digit Span task [forward and reversed], the Spatial Span task [forward and reversed], the…
The effect of heightened levels of physiological arousal on neuropsychological measures of attention in a nonclinical sample
Anonclinical sample of 41 participants were subjected to heightened levels of physiological arousal and measured on a number of neuropsychological measures of attention. The participants completed the measures under both 75dB and 95dB white noise. Examination of the performance on the Corsi Block Tapping Task, the Trail Making Test Part B, and the Digit Symbol Substitution Test showed significant decrements in performance on these tasks as a resu…
Cognitive determinants of performance on the digit symbol-coding test, and the symbol search test of the wais-iii, and the symbol digit modalities test
Whilst many investigators contend that the Digit Symbol-coding test (DSCT) is the test most sensitive to brain impairment within the Wechsler scales, little agreement has been achieved with regard to what the test actually does measure. One hundred and two participants were administered a battery of 14 neuropsychological tests, which were grouped into domains of cognitive functioning. These were premorbid factors, reaction time, motor execution, …
A neuropsychological study of the chronic fatigue syndrome
Well-controlled studies of the cognitive status of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) participants are rare. This study aimed to examine the deficit in cognitive functioning in CFS after the effects of depression had been controlled. Twenty-six CFS sufferers and twenty-six matched control participants were compared on the Chronic Fatigue Symptom Checklist, the Illness Behaviour Questionnaire, the Beck Depression Inventory, Performance IQ from the WAI…
The differential contribution of mental tracking, cognitive flexibility, visual search, and motor speed to performance on parts A and B of the trail making test
Ninety-eight undergraduate students were subjected to the TMT as well as a series of derived measures from the TMT with a view to ascertaining the nature of the contribution of each to the performance. Performance on the TMT(A) was uniquely contributed to by visual search and motor speed measures, whereas the performance on TMT(B) was uniquely contributed to by the visual search and cognitive alternation measures. After controlling for the effect…
The neurocognitive basis of word-finding difficulty in alzheimer's, disease
Past research has indicated that deficits in the areas of visual perception, semantic memory, and word availability may each underlie the word-finding difficulty observed in dementia of the Alzheimer type. This study attempted to evaluate the independent contribution of deficits in each of these cognitive domains to naming ability in a single sample of patients. In comparison to a group of age-and sex-matched normal controls, performance by the m…
The performance of schizophrenic and depressed subjects on tests of fluency
Fifty-seven subjects (21 schizophrenia, 13 depressed, and 23 normal) matched for NART Verbal IQ were compared on two fluency tests (the Verbal Fluency Test and the Design Fluency Test) and on the modified Wisconsin Card Sorting Test. Both the clinical groups performed significantly below the normals on measures of production on the fluency tests, but not on measures of error. This finding is consistent with the notion proposed by Crowe (1992) tha…
