(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...
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...
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...
A transdiagnostic investigation of amygdala-vmPFC resting state functional connectivity and emotional distress in daily lives
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
distress are characterized by increased frequency and duration of intense negative affect, large abrupt shifts in affect (i.e., affective instability), and behavioral dysregulation (Selby, Anestis, Bender, & Joiner, 2009). Functional connectivity between...
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...
Alcohol consumption, executive function and risky decision making
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
were 96 male and female adults ages 21-35. Ps completed several self-report measures of risky behavior and executive function before being assigned to one of three beverage conditions: a no-alcohol control beverage, an active placebo beverage...
Assessing the role of pair familiarity in the associative deficit of older adults
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
in associative tests were related to reliance on familiarity or recollection. Evidence shows that both unitization and repetition increase associative memory in both younger and older adults. While recollection seems to mediate this effect in unitization...
The influence of positive mood and extraversion on different aspects of cognitive control
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] There is some evidence that positive mood might influence cognitive control and that extraverts might perform better than introverts when experiencing a positive mood...
Effects of deep brain stimulation on implicit learning in patients with Parkinson's disease
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
insufficient time for integration. Mean level analysis of accuracy and reaction time (RT) data collected from elderly controls (N=18) and patients (N=12), indicated that STN stimulation speeded responses at a cost of decreased accuracy. Trial based analysis...
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...
Boundary conditions for a visual working memory capacity model
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Cowan's K (Cowan, 2001) is an effective measure of visual working memory capacity and has been widely accepted by working memory researchers in recent years. However, one fundamental assumption of this measure, so called ...
An assessment of inhibition in the Simon task
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
. In experiment 2, increased perceptual difficulty of stimuli resulted in an increasing congruency effect in time course, which is beyond prediction based on any available explanations of the Simon task. In sum, no support for Ridderinkhof's theory was found....
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...
The effects of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) treatement on nonverbal working memory-related brain activations and connectivity in individuals with phenylketonuria
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Previous research suggests that phenylketonuria (PKU) is associated with disruptions in structural and functional connectivity that may contribute to ...
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...
