People with Parkinson's (PwP) experience debilitating motor symptoms, yet appear to have relatively intact MI capabilities, which may position MI as an effective therapeutic adjunct to existing interventions for PwP. However, individual differences in healthy individuals, such as cognitive factors and depression, as well as symptom severity in PwP, have been shown to influence MI, which may moderate its therapeutic impact. In the present study, data from 56 PwP were analysed using linear mixed-effect modelling to explore whether motor symptoms, cognitive function and depression were associated with MI vividness. Overall motor symptom severity was not associated with MI vividness, and specific symptoms (bradykinesia and tremor) did not show consistent relationships. This suggests that individual differences in symptom expression may make it difficult to identify a clear relationship between MI and motor symptoms. Action fluency (verb generation) was positively associated with right-lateralised MI vividness. However, working memory, general language fluency and depression were not associated with MI vividness. The relationship between generating verbs and MI vividness is consistent with theories of grounded and embodied cognition. Action fluency could thus potentially be used to predict the effectiveness of MI-based interventions in PwP.","PeriodicalId":197,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neuropsychology","volume":"20 2","pages":"410-425"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jnp.70040","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147508202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, some people show considerable adaptability in maintaining cognitive processes despite brain ageing or disease. The cognitive reserve model proposes that individual factors (e.g., higher education) may provide cognitive resilience. We measured whether the expected hippocampal-memory association differs according to educational attainment (a proxy of cognitive reserve). At baseline, 62 older adults (65–88 years old) at risk of Alzheimer's disease reported the amount of education completed and received anatomical 3D-T1-w structural MRIs to measure hippocampal volume. They completed a Face-Name Association episodic memory task at baseline, 2 years later, and 4 years later. Educational attainment significantly moderated the effect of hippocampal volume on episodic memory over time, β = −1.97 (SE = .93). Lower hippocampal volume caused greater memory decline at low (mean − 1 SD), but not at moderate (mean) or high (mean + 1 SD) education levels. A Johnson–Neyman analysis revealed that over 14 years of educational attainment is the threshold to eliminate a significant hippocampal-memory effect. The results did not differ by sex. Findings support the cognitive reserve model that individual factors, such as educational attainment, contribute to a cognitive reserve that enables better cognitive performance than would be expected given ageing or disease-related brain changes. Importantly, the findings specify the amount of educational attainment that is protective. Over 14 years of education mitigates hippocampal-related memory decline in people at the risk of Alzheimer's disease.","PeriodicalId":197,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neuropsychology","volume":"20 2","pages":"394-409"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jnp.70039","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147502701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This cross-sectional study aimed to explore social cognitive abilities in children and adolescents with FXS in comparison with an age-matched heterogeneous ASD group and typically developing (TD) peers. Key domains assessed included basic visual social attention towards faces, autonomic arousal in reaction to conflicting emotional information and Theory of Mind (ToM). Participants comprised 14 children with FXS, 24 with ASD and 19 TD controls, aged 6-18 years. Visual attention and implicit emotion recognition were measured using an emotional oddball paradigm using gaze behaviour and pupillometric analysis, and ToM was assessed with the NEPSY-II neuropsychological test battery ToM subtest. Results indicated that children and adolescents with FXS directed their gaze less towards relevant social-emotional information (i.e., faces and especially eyes), compared with both the ASD and TD groups. Regarding implicit emotion recognition, the attentional disparity between the FXS group and the TD group was reduced when conflicting multisensory emotional information was presented, rather than congruent cues. Next, a diminished pupillary response to conflicting emotional information was found in the FXS group, as compared with the ASD group. Additionally, the FXS group showed difficulties with ToM, compared with the ASD and TD groups. These findings suggest that both deviations in basic and higher-order social cognitive abilities may contribute to the social difficulties experienced by individuals with FXS and may partly account for the high incidence of ASD diagnoses in this population.","PeriodicalId":197,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neuropsychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147637435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We applied analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis to determine between-group differences and detection potential of the MBT. We found statistically large between-group differences with worse memory performance in paired cued recall conditions in AD-aMCI<PD-MCI; AD-aMCI<PD-NC; AD-aMCI<CN (p < .001 after Bonferroni correction), and to a lesser extent in PD-MCI<CN (p = .039). However, PD-NC did not differ from PD-MCI, and PD-NC did not differ from CN (p > .050). The detection potential of MBT paired cued recall for differentiating memory impairment in AD-aMCI from CN yielded an AUC of 90% (95% CI, 85–96) and an AUC of 91% (95% CI, 81–>99) between AD-aMCI and PD-MCI.

Distinguishing between these states is of paramount importance for the detection and appropriate care of patients. Functional Assessment Battery (FAB) is a screening tool for assessing executive function. In this study, 36 healthy individuals (HC), 31 single-domain amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) patients, and 29 Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients were assessed using FAB to determine its reliability, validity, and discriminative validity in a Spanish sample. Results indicated a good internal consistency of FAB in the AD sample (α = .71), but not in the aMCI group (α = .49). Significant differences between HC and both aMCI and AD groups were observed in the total scores of FAB.

This study aimed to examine the serial position curve in the Prose Memory test and to assess whether recall accuracy from the primacy portion of the story can predict progression from MCI to AD. Sixty-two patients diagnosed with MCI were included. After 3 years, 30 patients progressed to AD (cMCI), while 32 remained stable (sMCI). Immediate and delayed recall performance for the three segments of the story (Primacy, Middle and Recency) was analysed. In the immediate recall trial, both MCI groups and healthy controls showed enhanced recall accuracy only for the Primacy portion of the story. In the delayed trial, a reduced primacy effect significantly distinguished cMCI from sMCI patients. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis indicated acceptable diagnostic accuracy of delayed Primacy recall in differentiating converters from stable MCI patients. Delayed Primacy recall in the Prose Memory test predicted conversion from MCI to AD. These results suggest that delayed Primacy recall in prose memory may serve as a non-invasive marker for identifying individuals at risk for AD progression.","PeriodicalId":197,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neuropsychology","volume":"20 1","pages":"144-153"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145335961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
