This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychologists have long been interested in the problems of children, but in the last 20 years this interest has increased dramatically. The in tensified focus on clinical child psychology reflects an increased belief that many adult problems have their origin in childhood and that early treatment is often more effective than treatment at later ages, but it also seems to reflect an increased feeling that children are inherently important in their own right. As a result of this shift in emphasis, the number of publications on this topic has multiplied to the extent that even full-time specialists have not been able to keep abreast of all new developments. Researchers in the more basic fields of child psychol ogy have a variety of annual publications and journals to integrate research in their areas, but there is a marked need for such an integra tive publication in the applied segment of child and developmental psychology. Advances in Clinical Child Psychology is a serial publication designed to bring together original summaries of the most important developments each year in the field. Each chapter is written by a key figure in an innovative area of research or practice or by an individual who is particularly well qualified to comment on a topic of major contemporary importance. Each author has followed the stan dard format in which his or her area of research was reviewed and the clinical implications of the studies were made explicit.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This study assessed the efficacy of a 5-week, intensive working memory training program for 52 children and adolescents (ages 7-17) who were identified as having ADHD and other co-morbid diagnoses. The study provided a replication of effects, since participants were assigned to the experimental group or waiting-list control group, with the waiting list control group completing training after the experimental group had finished. Parents and teachers completed paper and pencil measures of working memory, executive functioning, and ADHD symptoms at baseline, post-treatment, and four month follow-up. Parent ratings indicated that participants improved on inattention, overall number of ADHD symptoms, initiation, planning/organization, and working memory. These effects were maintained at a four month follow-up period. Teacher ratings did not indicate any significant results. The majority of participants did not show clinically significant or reliable changes. There is some evidence, provided by parent report, that WM may lead to improvements in ADHD symptoms, working memory, and other types of executive functioning; however, more research is needed to determine the validity of these treatment effects, whether treatment effects are maintained over longer follow-up periods, and whether the improvements that are found are clinically significant and reliable.

Download or read book The Efficacy of Working Memory Training for Children and Adolescents with Attention deficit hyperactivity Disorder Combined Type Compared to Children and Adolescents with Attention deficit hyperactivity Disorder Primarily Inattentive Type written by Synthia Sandoval Puffenberger and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This study investigated the efficacy of a computer based working memory training program for 51 children and adolescence between the ages of 7 and 17. All participants involved in the study were classified as having ADHD, with either the primarily inattentive or combined type. Parents and teachers provided ratings of executive function and ADHD symptoms of participants before treatment, one month and four months following treatment. Data in this study were analyzed by ADHD subtype to better determine if any differences could be found by subtype population. At post treatment parents rated the DSM Inattentive group as improving on measures of both executive function and ADHD symptoms. Parent reported changes appeared to persist at four month follow up for this group. Teachers also reported change from pre to post treatment for the DSM Inattentive group on the BRIEF Initiate scale. There were no reported significant changes for the DSM combined group by either parent or teacher report from pre to post treatment. Regression analysis using the Conners' scales of inattention, hyperactivity, and oppositional at pre treatment as predictors for change at post treatment and four month follow up found that by parent report for the DSM Combined group, ratings of hyperactivity and opposition at pre treatment were negatively related to change post treatment. However, according to teacher report, opposition, hyperactivity, and inattention were positively related to reported change post treatment for both the Inattentive and Combined subtypes of ADHD. This data suggest that this training may be beneficial as an adjunct treatment for children with ADHD to focus on executive functioning deficits. This training may be more beneficial for those diagnosed with the Inattentive type of ADHD, possibly due to the detrimental or interfering behaviors of hyperactive and impulsive symptoms found in the Combined type population. However, more research is necessary to determine the validity of the treatment effects found, as well as if these findings are enduring. It is also necessary to determine if these findings go beyond 3rd party report and if they can also be found through objective measures of the participants, (i.e. using the Automated Working Memory Assessment or the Tower of London).

Download or read book Effectiveness of Working Memory Training on Children and Adolescents Comorbid with ADHD and Other Externalizing Disorders written by Christine Happel and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Working memory is a process used to momentarily store and manipulate information (Engle, 2004). Complex behaviors, such as behavioral inhibition, planning, reasoning, comprehension, and emotional regulation, are thought to be contingent on working memory ability (Barkley, 1997). Decreased working memory functioning, and therefore decreased ability in the aforementioned complex behaviors, has been found to be prevalent in individuals diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (Barkley, 1997; Castellanos and Tannock, 2002; Rapport et al. 2000). Past studies, Klingberg et al (2005) and Beck et al. (2009), have found working memory training to lead to improvements in several areas of working memory functioning and to a decrease in severity of ADHD symptoms among individuals who underwent the training. However, neither study assessed the effects of working memory training on children and adolescents comorbidly diagnosed with ADHD and an externalizing disorder, such as oppositional defiant disorder or conduct disorder. This study assessed the effects of Cogmed working memory training on populations comorbidly diagnosed with ADHD and one other externalizing disorder. Participants, who were between 7 and 17 years old, were organized into one group of individuals diagnosed with ADHD and another group of individuals comorbidly diagnosed with ADHD and one other externalizing disorder. Groups were compared using measures of ADHD and executive functioning, which were completed both before and after receiving working memory training. When compared, groups did not display any significant difference between their increments on the majority of measures. This study is thought to broaden the efficacy of working memory training to include children and adolescents comorbidly diagnosed with ADHD and either oppositional defiant disorder or conduct disorder.

Download or read book A Randomized controlled Trial of Working Memory Training in Youth with ADHD written by Christine Adelaide Hanson and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The present study investigated whether working memory training (WMT) would improve working memory (WM), planning/organization, executive functioning, attention, hyperactivity/impulsivity, and reading comprehension in individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Twenty-eight children and adolescents with ADHD completed WMT, which consisted of 25 sessions lasting 30-45 minutes completed over about 6 weeks. Participants were randomly assigned to either a difficult adaptive WMT program or a control program, which maintained a low-level of difficulty. We predicted that the experimental group would show greater improvements than the control group. The experimental group showed a trend towards improving more than the control group on nonverbal short-term memory (STM), one measure of verbal WM, parent-rated inattention, After WMT participants in both groups improved on verbal STM, nonverbal STM, nonverbal WM, one measure of verbal WM, parent-reported WM, a WM composite, parent-rated inattention, reading comprehension, one participant-administered measure of planning/organization, parent-rated planning/organization, and parent-rated executive functioning. Participants did not improve on one measure of verbal WM, parent-rated hyperactivity/impulsivity, and a participant-administered measure of attention, one participant-administered measure of planning/organization, and a participant-administered measure of executive functioning. There was not enough teacher-report data to come to any meaningful conclusions. This lends some support that WMT can lead to improvements in broad cognitive functions. It is unclear whether the training needs to be difficult and adaptive in order to lead to improvements. Future studies need to investigate the necessary components of WMT and whether the improvements following WMT are clinically significant, stable over time, and not just due to practice effects, rater expectancy effects, or regression to the mean. Additional replication studies are needed showing improvements in cognitive and academic functions following WMT. Future studies should investigate whether certain WMT programs lead to improvements in certain cognitive and academic functions.

Download or read book Therapeutic Effect of Infra Low Frequency Neurofeedback Training on Children and Adolescents with ADHD written by Horst Schneider and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this observational study the outcomes of an EEG-based infra-low-frequency (ILF) neurofeedback intervention on patients with attention deficit (hyperactivity) disorder (ADHD) are presented. The question is addressed whether this computer-aided treatment, which uses a brain-computer-interface to alleviate the clinical symptoms of mental disorders, is an effective non-pharmaceutical therapy for ADHD in childhood and adolescence. In a period of about 15 weeks 196 ADHD patients were treated with about 30 sessions of ILF neurofeedback in an ambulant setting. Besides regular evaluation of the severity of clinical symptoms, a continuous performance test (CPT) for parameters of attention and impulse control was conducted before and after the neurofeedback treatment. During and after the therapy, the patients did not only experience a substantial reduction in the severity of their ADHD-typical clinical symptoms, but also their performance in a continuous test procedure was significantly improved for all examined parameters of attention and impulse control, like response time, variability of reaction time, omission errors and commission errors. In a post neurofeedback intervention assessment 97% of patients reported improvement in symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity or impulsivity. Only 3% of the patients claimed no noticeable alleviation of ADHD-related symptoms. These results suggest that ILF neurofeedback is a clinically effective method that can be considered as a treatment option for ADHD and might help reducing or even avoiding psychotropic medication.

Download or read book Moderating Effects of Hyperactivity impulsivity and Oppositional Behavior on Working Memory Training for Children and Adolescents with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder written by Synthia Sandoval Puffenberger and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this study was to investigate hyperactivity/impulsivity and oppositional behaviors as potential moderators on multiple outcome measures of a computer based working memory training for children and adolescents with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) between the ages of 7 and 17. All participants involved in the study were classified as having ADHD, with either the Primarily Inattentive or Combined type. Measures of executive functioning were completed by participants and their parent's pre and post-treatment. Parents also rated participants on measures of ADHD. This study is building on previous analysis from a larger study in which it was found that participants improved on multiple measures of executive functioning regardless of the treatment arm they were randomly assigned to (Table 1). Sixty participants initiated participation in the current study, twenty-eight completed training and post-training outcomes measures. Using linear regression analysis one significant interaction for the moderator of hyperactivity/impulsivity on the relationship between treatment and the outcome measure of parent rated BRIEF Plan/Organize scale was found. No other significant interactions were found for the proposed moderators of hyperactivity/impulsivity and oppositional behavior. Due to high dropout rates, this study was underpowered, making significant interactions difficult to detect. Additional studies are needed with larger sample sizes in order to draw more conclusions related to the moderating effects of hyperactivity/impulsivity on working memory training.

Download or read book Cognitive and Working Memory Training written by Jared M. Novick and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-11-04 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cognitive and Working Memory Training assembles an interdisciplinary group of distinguished authors--all experts in the field--who have been testing the efficacy of cognitive and working memory training using a combination of behavioral, neuroimaging, meta-analytic, and computational modelling methods. This edited volume is a defining resource on the practicality and utility of the field of cognitive training research in general, and working memory training in particular. Importantly, one focus of the book is on the notion of transfer--namely, the extent to which cognitive training--be it through music, video-game play, or working memory demanding interventions at school--generalizes to learning and performance measures that were decidedly not part of the training regimen. As most cognitive scientists (and perhaps many casual observers) recognize, the notions of cognitive training and transfer have been widely controversial for many reasons, including disagreement over the reliability of outcomes and consensus on methodological "best practices," and even the ecological validity of laboratory-based tests. This collection does not resolve these debates of course; but its contribution is to address them directly by creating an exchange in a single compendium among scientists who, in separate research publications, do not always reach the same conclusions. The book is organized around comprehensive overview chapters from different disciplinary perspectives--Cognitive Psychology (by Hicks and Engle), Neuroscience (by Kuchinsky and Haarmann), and Development (by Ling and Diamond)--that define major issues, terms, and themes in the field, with a pointed set of challenge questions to which other scientists respond in subsequent chapters. The goal of this volume is to educate. It is designed for students and researchers, and perhaps the armchair psychologist. Crucially, the contributors recognize that it is good for science to persistently confront our understanding of an area: Debate and alternative viewpoints, backed by theory, data, and inferences drawn from the evidence, is what advances scientific knowledge. This book probes established paradigms in cognitive training research, and the long-form of these chapters (not found in scientific journals) allows detailed exploration of the current state of the science. Such breadth intends to invite novel ways of thinking about the nature of cognitive and perceptual plasticity, which may enlighten either new efforts at training, new inferences about prior results, or both.

Download or read book Neurofeedback in ADHD written by Hartmut Heinrich and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EEG-based neurofeedback is used as a treatment approach in attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a clinically and pathophysiologically heterogeneous child psychiatric disorder. There is increasing evidence for specific effects of neurofeedback when applying 'standard' protocols (slow cortical potentials, theta/beta, sensorimotor rhythm). Knowledge about underlying mechanisms and moderating variables is increasing. Nevertheless, further well-controlled and conducted trials are needed to answer open questions concerning optimisation and individualisation of neurofeedback. Further improvements may develop with new methods and technical developments (e.g., tomographic neurofeedback) and new concepts (integrated ADHD treatment). This Frontiers Research Topic comprising 14 articles intends to answer the following questions concerning neurofeedback in ADHD: • How efficacious is neurofeedback? • What is the rationale of applying a certain neurofeedback protocol in ADHD? • What are central mechanisms and which moderating variables may affect training and treatment outcome? • How to optimise treatment? What are new developments and which benefits may be expected? Aspects of learning theory are also stressed dissociating 'neurofeedback as a treatment' and 'neurofeedback as entertainment'. In the Editorial, this crucial aspect is compared to the way you read (and study) a scientific book versus reading a thriller for leisure. In this respect: Enjoy this Research Topic, study and apply it in practice, unless you read it for entertainment purposes!
