There is clear agreement about the importance of promoting emotional intelligence in school through programs integrated in the academic curriculum. The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of the EDI program on the emotional intelligence trait and on general academic performance, as well as mathematics and language performance. The participants were 5th grade elementary school students between 10 and 11 years old. A quasi-experimental repeated-measures design was used, with a comparison group and four assessment points. The results showed, on the one hand, the effectiveness of a two-year intervention in improving emotional intelligence and, on the other hand, its positive influence on academic performance in general, and specifically on mathematics and language performance. In the non-intervention group, general academic performance and language performance declined. The results are discussed, and recommendations are made for future interventions.

Background: Empathy is a complex behavior enabling individuals to recognize and sense the emotional situation of others. Empathy requires cognitive, emotional, and learning abilities to understand and react to the suffering of others. The current study evaluates the effect of Amyloid-Beta (Aβ), an aggregated peptide involved in Alzheimer's disease on empathy-like behavior.

Background: Motivational disturbances are a major harbinger for dementia, being associated with a two- to seven-fold higher conversion rate from mild cognitive impairment. However, there are currently no objective assessment methods for identifying motivational disturbances in older adults (OA). Here, we present preliminary findings from a larger study which aims to validate an objective behavioral measure of effort in OAs by investigating the effects of age, risk, and reward (gain vs.

Background: Social cognition is crucial to optimal social functioning outcomes in older adults, with implications for overall health and wellbeing. Moreover, poor social cognition is a diagnostic criterion for neurocognitive disorders (NCDs). Prior work has studied the social cognitive subdomains (theory of mind (ToM), affective empathy, emotion recognition, and social behaviour) and found mild cognitive impairment and dementia to be associated with poorer performance in specific tasks and informant-reported changes respectively.
