Comment on Cory, 2021: Unpacking the invisible knapsack, a necessary step toward an antiracist cultural neuropsychology.

ABSTRSCT Cagigas' commentary on Cory, 2021 lays bare the ongoing propagation of neuropsychological racism that is stifling the scientific integrity and clinical utility of a discipline in danger of losing its relevance. As such, confronting neuropsychological racism and its structural roots requires acknowledgment of those who have systematically profited at the expense of future generations of neuropsychologists, who now bear the consequences of a false meritocracy and hegemonic universalism that has unwittingly rendered a White neuropsychology. An argument is made for why simply unpacking white privilege is but a single step toward a much needed antiracist cultural neuropsychology.

Patient and caregiver goals for dementia care.

Purpose: Most health outcome measures for chronic diseases do not incorporate specific health goals of patients and caregivers. To elicit patient-centered goals for dementia care, we conducted a qualitative study using focus groups of people with early-stage dementia and dementia caregivers.

Methods: We conducted 5 focus groups with 43 participants (7 with early-stage dementia and 36 caregivers); 15 participants were Spanish-speaking.

Flanker compatibility effects in patients with Parkinson's disease: impact of target onset delay and trial-by-trial stimulus variation.

Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and healthy controls were administered a flanker task that consisted of the presentation of colored targets and distractors. Participants were required to attend to the center target and identify its color. The stimulus displays were either congruent (i.

Lack of impairment in patients with Parkinson's disease on an object-based negative priming task.

12 nondemented patients with Parkinson's disease (M age = 67.3) and 12 normal control participants were administered an object-based attention task that enabled examination of both negative and positive priming. Unlike previous studies in which spatial-based attention tasks were used, results of the present study indicated that the patients displayed negative and positive priming not different from those shown by controls.

Cortical and subcortical brain regions involved in rule-based category learning.

The brain regions contributing to rule-based category learning were examined using fMRI. Participants categorized single lines that varied in length and orientation into one of two categories. Category membership was based on the length of the line.
