    Longitudinal profiling of mild congitive impairment subtypes

    No full text
    Recently it was suggested that longitudinal cognitive assessments, although not essential for an MCI classification, are preferable to tracking the trajectory of MCI individuals (Albert et al., 2011). This aligns with previous findings that report instability among MCI cohorts, particularly in cross-sectional studies (Saunders and Summers, 2011; de Jager and Budge, 2005). The sensitivity and specificity of MCI classification is known to be enhanced by assessing multiple cognitive domains. The aim of the present study was to examine the neuropsychological profile of MCI subtypes 12 months after a classification assessment

    In the version of this Article originally published, the name of the author ‘Mathew Robert Brown’ was incorrectly written as ‘Mathew Brown’ in the main author list and as ‘Matthew Brown’ in the Global Water Microbiome Consortium list. In addition, in the Global Water Microbiome Consortium list, the names of the authors ‘Kevin F. Boehnke’, ‘Janeth Sanabria’ and ‘Adalberto Noyola’ were incorrectly written as ‘Kevin Boehnke’, ‘Janeth Sanabria Gómez’ and ‘Adalberto Noyola Robles’, respectively. The names have now been corrected and the author initials in the author contributions section updated accordingly

    Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21: Factor Structure and Test-Retest Invariance, and Temporal Stability and Uniqueness of Latent Factors in Older Adults

    This study examined the factor structure and test-retest invariance, and temporal stability and uniqueness of the latent factors (depression, anxiety, and stress) of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21; Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995) in group a of 269 older adults (age ranging from 60 to 85 years) from the general community. Participants completed the DASS-21 twice, 3 months apart. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of their ratings at Time 1 indicated support for the original 3-factor oblique model (factors for depression, anxiety, and stress). Additional analyses showed support for test-retest invariance for both the measurement (configural, metric and thresholds) and structural (variances and covariances) components of this model. Results also indicated temporal stability and uniqueness of the latent factors. The practical, theoretical, research and clinical implications of the findings are discussed

    Distinguishing the cognitive processes of mindfulness: Developing a standardised mindfulness technique for use in longitudinal randomised control trials

    No full text
    A capacity model of mindfulness is adopted to differentiate the cognitive faculty of mindfulness from the metacognitive processes required to cultivate this faculty in mindfulness training. The model provides an explanatory framework incorporating both the developmental progression from focussed attention to open monitoring styles of mindfulness practice, along with the development of equanimity and insight. A standardised technique for activating these processes without the addition of secondary components is then introduced. Mindfulness-based interventions currently available for use in randomised control trials introduce components ancillary to the cognitive processes of mindfulness, limiting their ability to draw clear causative inferences. The standardised technique presented here does not introduce such ancillary factors, rendering it a valuable tool with which to investigate the processes activated in mindfulness practice

    Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21: Measurement and Structural Invariance Across Ratings of Men and Women

    The current study examined the measurement and structural invariance of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21) across ratings provided by men (N = 227) and women (N = 460). Multiple-group confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported full metric invariance and intercepts invariance for 20 of the 21 items. Invariance for all item intercepts was supported by multiple indicators multiple causes (MIMIC) procedure that controlled for the effects of age. Multiplegroup CFA supported invariance for all factor variances and covariances. This procedure and the MIMIC analyses found equivalency for all latent mean scores. These findings indicate good support for measurement and structural invariance of the DASS-21 rating across men and women. The psychometric and practical implications of the findings are discussed

    Comprehensive neuropsychological assessment can differentiate between adults with MCI who develop Alzheimer's dementia from those who recover

    No full text
    Previous studies indicate that while mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is associated with elevated rates of conversion to dementia at the group level, heterogeneity of outcome is common at the individual level. There is a need to identify the characteristics of patients with MCI that predict stability of deficits, reversion to normal cognitive functioning and progression to AD, or another form of dementia. The aim of this study was to determine whether baseline neuropsychological measures predict outcome for older adults with MCI
