Neurocognitive Functioning in Depressed Young People: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusion: The findings suggest that currently depressed young people display a range of neurocognitive weaknesses which may impact treatment engagement and outcome. The findings support the need to consider neurocognitive functioning when treating youth with depression. (Source: Neuropsychology Review)

Fatigue following Paediatric Acquired Brain Injury and its Impact on Functional Outcomes: A Systematic Review
AbstractFatigue is a commonly reported sequela following an acquired brain injury (ABI), and can have a negative impact on many areas of a child ’s life. However, there is minimal research that focuses on fatigue specifically, and so factors such as its occurrence, duration, and impact on functioning remain uncertain. This systematic review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the research to date, bringing together a number of studi es with a focus on paediatric ABI and fatigue. Terms were searched in relevant databases (PsycInfo, Medline, CINAHL), and articles were included or excluded based on specified criteria...

Meta-Analysis of Intelligence Quotient (IQ) in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
AbstractObsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is associated with a moderate degree of underperformance on cognitive tests, including deficient processing speed. However, despite little research focusing on Intelligence Quotient (IQ) in OCD, it has long been speculated that the disorder is associated with elevated intellectual capacity. The present meta-analytic study was, therefore, conducted to quantitatively summarize the literature on IQ in OCD systematically. We identified 98 studies containing IQ data among individuals with OCD and non-psychiatric comparison groups, and computed 108 effect sizes for Verbal IQ (VIQ,n =Â...

Prosaccade and Antisaccade Paradigms in Persons with Alzheimer ’s Disease: A Meta-Analytic Review
AbstractPersons with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) are at high Alzheimer ’s Disease (AD) risk but the development of sensitive measures to assess subtle cognitive decline in this population poses a major challenge for clinicians and researchers. Eye movement monitoring is a non-invasive, sensitive way to assess subtle cognitive processes in clinical populations. We con ducted a critical review and a meta-analysis of the literature on pro and antisaccade paradigm in AD/MCI. The meta-analysis included 20 studies, all of which used the prosaccade paradigm and 13 of which studied the antisaccade paradigm as well. Our meta-...
