Relationships Between Anxiety, Attention, and Reading Performance in Children
Child Psychiatry Hum Dev. 2024 Apr 27. doi: 10.1007/s10578-024-01701-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMany studies link anxiety in children with reading difficulties, but some facets of anxiety have been found to be positively associated with reading achievement. Attentional Control Theory offers a potential explanation for these seemingly contradictory findings, positing that anxiety can both interfere in attentional processes and enhance effort and use of compensatory processing strategies. The current study examines the relationships between anxiety, attentional control, and reading performance (word reading/decoding an...

Heart rate variability and psychological health: The key role of trait emotional awareness
Acta Psychol (Amst). 2024 Apr 26;246:104252. doi: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2024.104252. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStudies have shown that Trait Emotional Awareness (TEA) - the ability to recognize one's emotions - and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) are both negatively associated with psychological disorders. Although these studies imply that TEA is related to HRV and may explain the association between HRV and psychological disorders, there is limited research investigating this implication. Such investigation is essential to illuminate the psychophysiological processes linked to psychological disorders. The present study aims t...

Evaluating Clinical Reasoning in Undergraduate Medical Education: The Value of a Virtual Oral Assessment
CONCLUSIONS: Virtual oral assessments of clinical reasoning can be incorporated in undergraduate medical education to identify students struggling with components of clinical reasoning, while also allowing maximum flexibility for the clinician educator workforce as examiners. Longitudinal use of these exams would be valuable to track the development of clinical reasoning across the medical school curriculum.PMID:38676698 | DOI:10.1177/00031348241250049 (Source: The American Surgeon)
