A therapist survey of evidence-based practices in publicly funded youth mental health
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
sizes in controlled clinical trials for evidence-based treatments (EBTs) for youth MH problems (Weisz, Jensen-Doss & Hawley, 2006). One potential reason for this discrepancy may be that therapists within TAU contexts are not implementing EBTs. To date...
Longitudinal, naturalistic study of training and support for implementation of evidence-based youth mental health practices among community providers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
support in evidence-based practices (EBPs). To address this need, the current study describes the reach and impact of a county-wide youth MH initiative aimed at increasing youths' and families' access to effective youth MH services by providing free EBP...
Implementation of a low-cost, web-based, multi-component training for trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
knowledge, use, and fidelity in TF-CBT. A multiple regression showed that previous TF-BT training, clinician attitudes towards evidence-based practices, and clinician age predicted training completion. Implications for web-based trainings and implementation...
Predictors of polypharmacy and off-label prescribing of psychotropic medications : a national survey of child psychiatrists
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
In the current study we used a national survey of child psychiatrists to examine typical prescribing practices for children with anxiety, depression, and disruptive behavior disorders from a social judgment theory perspective. We examined the extent...
Cognitive load and time based forgetting
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
the case against absolute time-based forgetting is strong, we believe this view to be incomplete. In 2 experiments, we show that substantial forgetting occurs due to the passage of time in at least one situation. On each trial, an array of novel characters...
Toward effective and efficient treatment adherence monitoring : development of the cognitive behavioral therapy adherence measure
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Despite the large body of research demonstrating the efficacy of evidence-based practices (EBPs) for the most common youth mental health problems, EBPs are rarely used in usual care (UC). When EBPs are implemented in UC settings, there is a drop...
The comprehensive arrogance scale
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
difficulty of the activity, and this pattern was in part mediated by feelings of superiority. I did not find support for the hypotheses that individuals high in CAS would practice less, nor did I find evidence for any of the hypothesized moderations...
Forgetting in short term memory : the effect of time
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
that the memory trace for a set of stimuli to be remembered weakens in proportion to the amount of time that passes whereas interference posits one stimulus interacting with another as the cause of forgetting. Recent evidence has suggested that decay should...
Disentangling alcohol-specific alcohol use disorder criteria from externalizing psychopathology using an empirically driven approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
analytic procedure, combinatorial optimization. First, we identified AUD symptom sets based on standard and alcohol-specific consumption measures. The symptom sets were then compared to existing diagnostic measures and AUD correlates to determine whether...
Young children's use of working memory for producing unfamiliar sentence structures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
holding an unrelated memory load but were more likely to use the active voice when not under load. In the two new studies presented here (Studies 2 and 3), I extend these findings to explore how working memory loads impact not only children's recall...
Assessing the role of pair familiarity in the associative deficit of older adults
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
unit. In Experiments 3 and 4, participants were repeatedly presented with pairings prior to a study list so that the pairs were already familiar during the study phase. Remember/know judgments were collected in order to determine if any advantages...
The precision of retrieving temporal information : behavioral and electrophysiological studies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
The knowledge of when an event took place provides benefits to episodic memory, such as distinguishing among multiple traces and learning event sequences. As a tool for understanding memory, time is appealing given its ...
Differential effects of negative and positive affect on context processing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
to the first study, the second and third studies found evidence that briefly elicited negative affect increased errors on context processing tasks. Conversely, positive affect did not have a significant effect on context processing performance. Overall...
Psychophysiological assessment of motivational processing during habit learning in Parkinson's disease
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)
Mesencephalic dopamine pathways have been shown to play an important role in procedural learning and motivation. Individuals with disrupted dopamine transmission due to Parkinson's disease show selective deficits in non-motor ...
Electrophysiological studies of identifying and modulating the preparatory strategic processes involved in episodic memory retrieval
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
established evidence of a preparatory form of retrieval orienting and examined the potential fluctuation versus stability of such processing. Experiment 2 attempted to directly modulate the engagement of orienting processes by parametrically manipulating...
A transdiagnostic investigation of amygdala-vmPFC resting state functional connectivity and emotional distress in daily lives
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
, replicating the results of previous research (Burghy et al., 2012). Results also found that another emotion circuit, the dACC-amygdala, was associated with negative affect and affective instability. The current research found evidence for neural mechanisms...
Multisensory working memory in adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
. Evidence was demonstrated that this difference may normalize later in adolescence. Elevated sensory symptomology (i.e., hyperreactivity and sensation avoidance) was negatively correlated with multisensory, but not unisensory, working memory. Future research...
Ambulatory assessment of physical pain, emotional distress, and alcohol use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
alcohol, namely that alcohol: 1) has analgesic effects similar to prescription opioids', 2) is negatively reinforcing, and 3) is expected to relieve pain. Secondarily, we examined the relationship of pain and negative affect, and to what degree a baseline...
Maintaining cross-domain objects and features in working memory : implications for storage in models of working memory
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
A great deal of evidence, both from behavioral studies of cross-domain interference and from neuroimaging, suggests the need for a domain-general store in models of working memory. Baddeley included such a store in an updated version...
High intensity drinking : prevalence and correlates in a community-based sample of Australian adults
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Many adult drinkers consume far beyond the established binge threshold (i.e., 4/5+ drinks for women and men, respectively). High intensity drinking (HID), defined in two levels at two (high intensity low [HIL]) and three ...
