Lack of educational impact of video game addiction in children and adolescents diagnosed with ADHD: A cross-sectional study.

Introduction: The use of video games has become widespread worldwide. Excessive use of video games is increasingly becoming a matter of concern, particularly in patients diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Currently, internet gaming disorder (IGD) is not included within the DSM-5-chapter .

Effectiveness of a Personalized, Chess-Based Training Serious Video Game in the Treatment of Adolescents and Young Adults With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Compared with traditional approaches, gaming strategies are promising interventions for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We developed a serious game, The Secret Trail of Moon (TSTM), for ADHD treatment.

Objective: The main objective of this clinical trial was to demonstrate the effectiveness of an add-on, either TSTM or Therapeutic Chess (TC), in previously optimally drug-titrated, clinically stable patients with ADHD.

A Virtual Reality Serious Videogame Versus Online Chess Augmentation in Patients with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Serious videogames and virtual reality (VR) have gained increasing interest for treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). "The Secret Trail of Moon" (TSTM) study is a clinical trial devoted to testing the efficacy of TSTM, a VR serious videogame developed to train in five major cognitive skills usually compromised in patients with ADHD. This study is a three-arm nonequality trial comparing TSTM to online chess training and a control group (CG).

Psychometric properties of the reading comprehension test ECOMPLEC.Sec.

Background: ECOMPLEC.Sec is a reading comprehension test for secondary students, conceived from a multidimensional perspective in line with large-scale educational surveys such as PISA or PIRLS. The objective of this study was to validate the theoretical model of ECOMPLEC.

Prevalence of disability in a composite ≥75 year-old population in Spain: a screening survey based on the International Classification of Functioning.

Background: The prevalence and predictors of functional status and disability of elderly people have been studied in several European countries including Spain. However, there has been no population-based study incorporating the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework as the basis for assessing disability. The present study reports prevalence rates for mild, moderate, and severe/extreme disability by the domains of activities and participation of the ICF.

Instrumental activities of daily living in the screening of dementia in population studies: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Despite the fact that the current definitions of dementia in the DSM-IV and ICD-10 require functional deterioration for the diagnosis of dementia, it is not necessary a formal evaluation of functional capacity.

Objectives: To examine the efficiency of functional assessment as a method of screening dementia in population studies.

Methods: This systematic review was based on information from MEDLINE, EMBASE, Index Médico Español (IME), and related articles.

Validation of the seven-minute screen neurocognitive battery for the diagnosis of dementia in a Spanish population-based sample.

Objective: To validate the Seven-Minute Screen Neurocognitive Battery (7MS) in an elderly population-based sample to identify dementia using a new scoring method.

Methods: Five hundred and twenty-seven home-dwelling elderly were assessed with a neurological and neuropsychological exam. The total score of the 7MS was the sum of z scores of its subtests.

[Cognitive assessment in the elderly. Normative data of a Spanish population sample older than 70 years].

Background And Objective: To define the parameters of normal cognitive performance in an easy to administer neuropsychological battery of a Spanish population sample of elderly over 70 years.

Subjects And Method: We examined 527 home dwelling elderly from the longitudinal study Envejecer en Leganés, 71 to 99 years old (mean age [SD] 79 [6.2] years, 51.

Validation of a short cognitive tool for the screening of dementia in elderly people with low educational level.

Aim: To validate the 'Prueba Cognitiva de Leganés' (PCL) as a screening tool for cognitive impairment in elderly people with little formal education.

Methods: The PCL is a simple cognitive test with 32 items that includes two scores of orientation and memory and a global score of 0-32 points. It was applied to a population sample of 527 elderly people over 70 with low educational level, who were independently diagnosed by consensus between two neurologists as having normal cognitive function, age associated cognitive decline (AACD, IPA-OMS criteria) or dementia (DSM-IV criteria).
