Digital Neuropsychology beyond Computerized Cognitive Assessment: Applications of Novel Digital Technologies
We describe how each digital tool may be applied to neurologic care and overcome limitations of traditional neuropsychological assessment. Ethical considerations, limitations of current research, as well as our proposed future of neuropsychological practice are also discussed.PMID:38520381 | DOI:10.1093/arclin/acae016 (Source: Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology)

Plasma biomarkers for Alzheimer's and related dementias: A review and outlook for clinical neuropsychology
Arch Clin Neuropsychol. 2024 Mar 22:acae019. doi: 10.1093/arclin/acae019. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRecent technological advances have improved the sensitivity and specificity of blood-based biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Accurate quantification of amyloid-ß peptide, phosphorylated tau (pTau) isoforms, as well as markers of neurodegeneration (neurofilament light chain [NfL]) and neuro-immune activation (glial fibrillary acidic protein [GFAP] and chitinase-3-like protein 1 [YKL-40]) in blood has allowed researchers to characterize neurobiological processes at scale in a cost-effective and min...

Compensatory Strategy Intervention: What Older Patients Want and Why
CONCLUSIONS: Older adults with cognitive impairment are generally motivated to enhance their compensatory strategy use. Clinicians/researchers designing compensatory strategy interventions should consider instructor-led formats, present individualized benefits of interventions, and demonstrate the benefits of both preventative and remedial intervention to optimize patient engagement.PMID:38520386 | DOI:10.1093/arclin/acae023 (Source: Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology)

From Practice to Public Health: Broadening Neuropsychology's Reach & amp; Value-An Introduction to the National Academy of Neuropsychology's 2022 Annual Conference Special Issue
Arch Clin Neuropsychol. 2024 Mar 22:acae012. doi: 10.1093/arclin/acae012. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis special issue is centered around presentations from the National Academy of Neuropsychology 2022 Annual Conference. The theme of the conference, "From Practice to Public Health: Broadening Neuropsychology's Reach & Value" is pivotal for the field's future. With an ever-shifting technological landscape and recent changes in clinical practice post-COVID, we are left wondering how neuropsychology will develop. How will we use biomedical and technological advances, such as blood-based Alzheimer's disease biomarkers ...

Neurocognitive Impairment in Post-COVID-19 Condition in Adults: Narrative Review of the Current Literature
Arch Clin Neuropsychol. 2024 Mar 22:acae017. doi: 10.1093/arclin/acae017. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 virus has, up to the time of this article, resulted in >770 million cases of COVID-19 illness worldwide, and approximately 7 million deaths, including >1.1 million in the United States. Although defined as a respiratory virus, early in the pandemic, it became apparent that considerable numbers of people recovering from COVID-19 illness experienced persistence or new onset of multi-system health problems, including neurologic and cognitive and behavioral health con...

Altered Trajectories: Considering the Long-Term Impact of Educational Disruption during the COVID-19 Pandemic on Neurodevelopment and a Call to Action for Neuropsychology
CONCLUSION: Trajectory of neuropsychological development of children and adolescents, especially marginalized students, may be affected by effects on learning and mental health due to prolonged educational disruption and psychological stressors. Evaluation and treatment may be delayed due to backlog and increased demand. Clinical neuropsychological practice recommendations are presented with a call to action for the field in moving forward flexibly to increase access to evaluation services.PMID:38520379 | DOI:10.1093/arclin/acae021 (Source: Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology)

Utility of a Short-Form Phonemic Fluency Task
CONCLUSIONS: these findings support the utility and reliability of a short-form phonemic fluency paradigm, as 30s performance reliably predicted 60s/trial totals and was equally accurate in distinguishing impaired/non-impaired groups.PMID:38516816 | DOI:10.1093/arclin/acae022 (Source: Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology)

Interactive Relations of Body Mass Index, Cardiorespiratory Fitness, and Sex to Cognitive Function in Older Adults
CONCLUSIONS: Among men, higher cardiorespiratory fitness may protect against the negative impact of greater BMI on manual dexterity and motor speed, making VO2max a target for intervention. Higher BMI is further associated with poorer executive function and verbal memory (in men), and lower VO2max is associated with poorer verbal memory.PMID:38486431 | DOI:10.1093/arclin/acae018 (Source: Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology)
