Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the sociodemographic and MTBI-related variables associated with executive functioning (EF).
Methods: Based on the theoretical model of Hou and colleagues, data on predisposing (age, education, premorbid IQ), precipitating (post-traumatic amnesia, loss of consciousness, presence of frontal lesions, post-accident time to evaluation) and perpetuating (anxious and depressive affects and post-concussive symptoms) factors were retrospectively collected from the medical records of 172 patients with MTBI. EF data based on the 3 processes included in Miyake's prediction model (2000) () were collected using respectively the Digit span task of the Weschler - 4 edition, the Trails A and B as well as the initiation time on the Tower of London- Drexel University.
Results: was significantly associated with education, premorbid IQ, age, anxiety, and depressive affect. was associated with education and age. No variable was associated with .
Conclusions: Following a MTBI, clinicians should consider that level of education and pre-morbid IQ may "predispose" patients to higher EF performances. They should also measure level of anxiety and depressive affect knowing that these may "perpetuate" some EF impairments (specifically the process).

Understanding the pathways to text generation: A longitudinal study on executive functions, oral language, and transcription skills from kindergarten to first grade.
PLoS One
December 2024
Department of Developmental of Applied Psychology and Human Development, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canadá.
This longitudinal study explored the contribution of transcription skills, oral language abilities, and executive functions in kindergarten to written production in grade 1 among Spanish-speaking children (N = 191) through structural equation modeling (SEM). Three dimentions of written production were assessed, including productivity, quality, and syntactic complexity. Accordingly, three SEM models were tested to explore these relationships, and the estimated models for each endogenous variable demonstrated good fit.

The accurate diagnosis of aging-related neurocognitive disorders as early as possible, even in a phase that is characterized by the absence of clinical symptoms, is nowadays the holy grail of the neurosciences. R4Alz-R is a novel cognitive tool designed to objectively detect the subtle cognitive changes that emerge as the very first result of the aging processes and could be developed and broadened in a continuum from healthy aging to subjective cognitive impairment (SCI) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), before reaching some type of dementia. The goal of the present study was to examine whether the R4Alz-R battery has the potential to detect these subtle changes.

Purpose: Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability with life-long implications requiring assessment and treatment of several functional domains. This review identifies the results from research into music-based interventions (MBIs), including music therapy (MT), for executive functions (EFs) and emotional well-being (EWB) in adults with stroke and highlights opportunities for clinical practice and future research.
Methods: APA PsycInfo (EBSCOhost), and CINAHL (EBSCOhost) were searched, in addition to grey literature.
An Investigation of the Relationship Between Vascular Markers and Cognitive Functions in Early Hypertension.

: Controlling hypertension may reduce the risk of cognitive impairment. A marker for the identification of hypertensive patients who are more likely to suffer cognitive impairment would be of clinical benefit. In our research, 105 patients with newly diagnosed primary hypertension were assessed at the Department of Neurology, the University of Debrecen.

Background: Nowadays, cognitive impairment has been characterized as one of the most vital clinical symptoms in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).
Objectives: Based on a relatively large cohort, we aimed to show the cognitive deterioration in different PSP subtypes during 1-year follow-up and investigate potential contributors for disease prognosis.
Methods: One hundred seventeen patients from Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Neuroimage Initiative (PSPNI) cohort underwent neuropsychological tests and 1-year follow-up, with 73 diagnosed as PSP-Richardson syndrome (PSP-RS) and 44 as PSP-non-RS.
