Assessing naming errors using an automated machine learning approach.
Neuropsychology, Vol 36(8), Nov 2022, 709-718; doi:10.1037/neu0000860Objective: After left hemisphere stroke, 20%–50% of people experience language deficits, including difficulties in naming. Naming errors that are semantically related to the intended target (e.g., producing “violin” for picture HARP) indicate a potential impairment in accessing knowledge of word forms and their meanings. Understanding the cause of naming impairments is crucial to better modeling of language production as well as for tailoring individualized rehabilitation. However, evaluation of naming errors is typically by subjective and laborious...

Contributions of intrinsic and extrinsic reward sensitivity to apathy: Evidence from traumatic brain injury.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates the relationship between intrinsic–extrinsic reward hyposensitivity and apathy post-TBI. These results may be integrated into future trials to improve apathy in clinical practice. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: Neuropsychology)

Inhibition explains the relationship between the efficiency of brain networks and adaptive outcomes in pediatric brain tumor survivors.
Conclusions: Based on these findings, higher levels of brain network integration, as measured by GE, is related to inhibition in survivors, which facilitates proficient adaptive motor and social/communication skills. Future work should investigate tumor location and treatment factors as potential moderators of the relationships found in this study to better understand specific risk factors in this group.

"Development and application of the International Classification of Cognitive Disorders in Epilepsy (IC-CoDE): Initial results from a multi-center study of adults with temporal lobe epilepsy": Correction.
Reports an error in "Development and application of the International Classification of Cognitive Disorders in Epilepsy (IC-CoDE): Initial results from a multi-center study of adults with temporal lobe epilepsy" by Carrie R. McDonald, Robyn M. Busch, Anny Reyes, Kayela Arrotta, William Barr, Cady Block, Erik Hessen, David W. Loring, Daniel L. Drane, Marla J. Hamberger, Sarah J. Wilson, Sallie Baxendale and Bruce P. Hermann (Neuropsychology, Advanced Online Publication, Jan 27, 2022, np). In the original article, there was an error in Figure 2. In the box at the top left of the figure, the fourth explanation incorrectly sta...

Dispersion-based cognitive intra-individual variability in dementia with Lewy bodies.
Conclusions: IIV-d accurately differentiates DLB from CH over-and-above global cognition and clinician-rated cognitive fluctuations. IIV-d may supplement a thorough clinical interview of cognitive fluctuations and serve as a standardized performance-based indicator of this transdiagnostic phenomenon.

Impaired metacognition and reduced neural signals of decision confidence in adults with traumatic brain injury.
Conclusions: These findings suggest that diffuse damage to putative frontoparietal regions in patients disrupts domain-general metacognitive accuracy and electrophysiological signals that accumulate evidence of decision confidence.

Neuropsychological correlates of theory of mind in chronic migraine.
Conclusions: The findings demonstrated that patients with CM present difficulties in inferring others’ mental states, which would be related to clinical and cognitive functioning. The clinical importance of these findings, implications for clinical practice, and future research are discussed.

An examination of retrieval practice and production training in the treatment of lexical–semantic comprehension deficits in aphasia.
Conclusions: Results suggest comprehension- and production-based forms of training are both beneficial for improving lexical–semantic deficits in aphasia, with production-based retrieval practice conferring additional benefits to the targeted deficit compared to errorless learning. Future studies should examine these learning factors in schedules of training more commensurate with clinical practice and in other neurological populations (e.g., semantic dementia).
