White participants had a brief interaction with either a White or a Black confederate, and then completed an ostensibly unrelated Stroop color-naming test. Prior to the interaction, participants' racial attitudes regarding Whites and Blacks were measured via the Impli...

Growing evidence supports the use of physical training interventions to improve both physical and cognitive performances in healthy older adults. Few studies have examined the impact of aerobic exercise on Stroop task performance, a measure of executive functions. In the current 3-month aerobic training study, 50 older adults (mean age = 67.96 ± 6.25 years) were randomly assigned to either a th...

Background: As the population ages, cognitive impairment and dementia have become one of greatest health threats in older adults. Prior studies suggest that exergaming could improve function To date, few long-term exergames intervention on adults during COVID-19 epidemic exist.

Three components of cognitive inhibition were compared in patients with schizophrenia and healthy controls. Nineteen patients with schizophrenia were compared to 30 healthy controls, matched for age, sex, and educational level. Cognitive inhibition was examined by (i) access to relevant information (Reading with distraction task), (ii) suppression of no longer relevant information (Trail Making...

Abstract Objective: Combining multiple embedded performance validity tests (PVTs) can produce similar classification accuracy to freestanding PVTs. However, there is a lack of research on the incremental predictive power various combinations Thus, we compared eight PVTs assess those that best predict Dot Counting Test (DCT). Method: Sample included 225 patients (mean age=45.96; mean education=1...
