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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Young children's use of working memory for producing unfamiliar sentence structures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
but also their construction of original passive voice structures. In the first new study, I used a similar method to Adams and Cowan (2021) but gave 4- and 5-year-old participants (n = 38) more instruction and practice recalling the passive. Responses were...
The effects of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) treatement on nonverbal working memory-related brain activations and connectivity in individuals with phenylketonuria
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
memory. In many patients with PKU, tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) treatment has been shown to reduce blood phe levels and, in some instances, to improve behavioral and cognitive symptoms associated with PKU. The present study sought to further examine...
Assessing single- and dual-process accounts of recognition memory using hierarchical Bayesian models
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
it is based on explicit recollection. Whereas this two-process theory has been embraced by many researchers, others claim that only one process is necessary to explain recognition memory. Here, I argue that all previous evidence for both the one and the two...
The psychology of the Negro
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
races meet, the problem of racial differences is an important one for our educational theory and practice, as well as our social philosophy. This is especially true in our Southern States, where there are vast numbers of white and colored children...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
Inhibitory control in male and female adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
), there was no evidence of ASD-related impairment in prepotent response inhibition as measured by the go/no-go task. Also consistent with past findings (e.g., Boland et al., 2019), age-related differences in RIVD ability were evident for the ASD group. Notably, we found...
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...
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 ...
