It is critical to remember details about meetings with healthcare providers. Forgetting could result in inadequate knowledge about ones' health, non-adherence with treatments, and poorer health outcomes. Hearing the health care provider plays a crucial role in consolidating information for recall.

Relatively effortless listening promotes understanding and recall of medical instructions in older adults.

Communication success under adverse conditions requires efficient and effective recruitment of both bottom-up (sensori-perceptual) and top-down (cognitive-linguistic) resources to decode the intended auditory-verbal message. Employing these limited capacity resources has been shown to vary across the lifespan, with evidence indicating that younger adults out-perform older adults for both comprehension and memory of the message. This study examined how sources of interference arising from the speaker (message spoken with conversational vs.

[Assessment of simulation and dissimulation in the MMPI-2 test profiles].

Unlabelled: The aim of this study is to identify the criteria which would allow a differentiation between the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) profiles, obtained from patients who present with problems of minimization of attitude (dissembling) who have shown a minimization of their problems; from patients who answered in a spontaneous and genuine fashion.

Methods: Six hundred and fifty five MMPI profiles of outpatients of the Clinical Psychology Unit, University Hospital, Sapienza University of Rome. Patients were subdivided into two groups, based on the reason for attending: those who submitted voluntarily to a psychodiagnostic assessment and those who were assessed by request of an outside authority, e.
