Test proiettivi e oggettivi in psicologia. Le difficoltà nel promuovere un assessment evidence based in Italia
No full textA case of umbilical endometriosis following cesarean section
No full textUmbilical endometriosis is a rare pathology whose etiopathogenesis is still
uncertain and the theories put forward are all controversial. Diagnosis is
therefore frequently difficult. The authors report a case of umbilical
endometriosis which occurred in a scar left by an earlier cesarean section.
Moreover, they discuss the aspects which might facilitate the diagnostic approach
and a correct therapeutic management
Predittori del Dropout nella Terapia Cognitivo- Comportamentale dei giocatori d’azzardo. Una revisione della letteratura
No full textAim: this review aims to identify the variables predicting dropout in the treatment of Pathological Gambling (GAP). Materials and Methods: the review identified and collected from the main international databases, 14 studies from 2007 to 2013 involving gamblers undergoing cognitive-behavioral treatment. Results: the mean rate of treatment dropout was found at 36.5%. Variables considered in the various studies as predicting dropout were: sociodemographic and psychological characteristics related to gambling and treatment. The most significant variables in predicting dropout were found to be the psychological variables (i.e. impulsivity, sensitivity to punishment, lack in executive functions). Conclusion: this review emphasizes the role of individual differences on therapeutic outcome and suggests to adopt a clear definition of predictors in order to improve therapeutic interventions aimed at reducing the risk of dropou

Spatial Mental Models: The Interaction of Presentation Format, Task Requirements and Availability of Working Memory Components
No full textTwo experiments investigate how people create spatial mental models (SMMs) as a function of presentation format. Spatial representations following a route within a virtual environment (visual) and an auditory description (verbal) were compared. Moreover, a dual-task procedure was adopted to depict the role of working memory (WM) components in such a task. Two testing formats were examined in both experiments: sentence verification (verbal) and sketch map (visual) tasks. This study shows that both presentations lead to adequate spatial representation. Nonetheless, SMMs are not presentation free. They are built by virtual presentation with a contribution of visuo-spatial WM. An involvement of verbal WM emerged while encoding spatial information from both verbal and virtual presentation. Congruency between presentation and testing formats slightly reduces the gap between verbal and virtual presentation. SMMs appear to be affected by the interaction of presentation and testing format as well as by the WM availability
