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...
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...
Inhibitory control in male and female adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
for the ASD group, with the older children showing smaller flanker effects (i.e., better inhibitory ability) as compared to the younger children (t(25) = 3.24, p = .003, pr2 = 0.30). Consistent with previous research (e.g., Christ et al., 2011...
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...
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...
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 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...
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...
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...
The influence of race on behavior and the neural correlates of expectancy during an economic decision game
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
races while EEG was recorded. I predicted that negative stereotype-based expectancies of Black players would cause participants to be more trusting of White than Black players, and also that these expectancies would be evident in the event...
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...
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...
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 ...
Secondary benefits of family member participation in treatments for childhood disorders : a multilevel meta-analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Family-based treatments for children with mental health, physical health, and developmental disorders often convey secondary benefits to caregivers and siblings who...
Validity of the hangover symptoms scale : evidence from two diary studies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
to assess the frequency of 13 hangover-like symptoms experienced after drinking in the past year (Slutske et al., 2003). Cross-sectional analyses in a sample of college drinkers (Slutske et al., 2003) showed preliminary evidence for the validity of the HSS...
Two brief treatments based on dialectical behavior therapy for binge eating across diagnoses and thresholds : results from a preliminary randomized dismantling study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
the efficacy of two brief treatments based on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for binge eating, be it in the context of full- or sub-threshold BN or full or sub-threshold BED. Participants were randomly assigned to either group DBT with coaching calls (DBT...
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...
Maintenance of relational bindings: working memory or long-term memory?
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
, rather than between items. In Experiment 3, the study procedure was again similar, but participants were tested on item recognition and on item-position binding using an order reconstruction test. While the experiments demonstrated either no effect...
