Depressive symptoms can be useful: self-regulatory and emotional benefits of dysphoric mood in adolescence.

30 May 2009 Propositions derived from evolutionary biology and personality psychology suggest that depressive symptoms may serve adaptive functions by enabling people to adjust to unattainable goals, which in turn promotes quality of life. The authors tested ...

Goal attainment scaling: does it provide added value as a person-centred measure for evaluation of outcome in neurorehabilitation following acquired brain injury?

30 May 2009 OBJECTIVE: To compare goal attainment scaling (GAS) and standardized measures in evaluation of person-centred outcomes in neurorehabilitation. DESIGN: A prospective cohort analysis from a tertiary inpatient neuro-rehabilitation service for younger ...

Dissociable medial frontal negativities from a common monitoring system for self- and externally caused failure of goal achievement.

27 May 2009 Goal-directed behavior requires the ability to adapt performance strategies based on the attribution of unintended outcomes to internal or external causes. Using event-related brain potentials, the present research compared neural activity following ...

A pilot study evaluating use of a computer-assisted neurorehabilitation platform for upper-extremity stroke assessment.

26 May 2009 BACKGROUND: There is a need to develop cost-effective, sensitive stroke assessment instruments. One approach is examining kinematic measures derived from goal-directed tasks, which can potentially be sensitive to the subtle changes in the stroke ...

Functional understanding facilitates learning about tools in human children.

24 May 2009 Human children benefit from a possibly unique set of adaptations facilitating the acquisition of knowledge about material culture. They represent artifacts (human-made objects) as tools with specific functions and seek for functional information ...

Shared decision-making reduces drug use and psychiatric severity in substance-dependent patients.

19 May 2009 BACKGROUND: In the last decades, shared decision-making (SDM) models have been developed to increase patient involvement in treatment decisions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a SDM intervention (SDMI) for patients dependent on ...

Neural correlates of idiographic goal priming in depression: goal-specific dysfunctions in the orbitofrontal cortex.

9 May 2009 We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to determine whether depressed (vs non-depressed) adults showed differences in cortical activation in response to stimuli representing personal goals. Drawing upon regulatory focus theory as well ...
