    Abstract: 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Background: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 We examined the efficacy of group-based cognitive intervention (GCI) and home-based cognitive intervention (HCI) in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and intervention effects on serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Methods: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 In this randomized and rater-blinded trial, 293 patients with aMCI from 18 nationwide hospitals were randomized: 96 to the GCI group, 98 to the HCI group and 99 to the control group. For 12 weeks, subjects receiving GCI participated twice per week in group sessions led by trained instructors, and those receiving HCI completed homework materials 5 days per week. They were assessed at baseline, postintervention (PI) and at the 6-month follow-up after the intervention. The primary endpoint was the change from baseline to PI in the modified Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale (ADAS-Cog). 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Results: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 In comparison to the controls (a 0.8-point decrease), the subjects receiving GCI (a 2.3-point decrease, p = 0.01) or HCI (a 2.5-point decrease, p = 0.02) showed significant improvements in the modified ADAS-Cog at PI, respectively. By the 6-month follow-up, those receiving GCI or HCI had better scores in the modified ADAS-Cog than the controls. The changes in BDNF levels significantly correlated with the changes in the modified ADAS-Cog in the GCI (r 〈 i 〉 = 〈 /i 〉 -0.29, p = 0.02 at PI) and HCI (r 〈 i 〉 = 〈 /i 〉 -0.27, p = 0.03 at 6-month follow-up) groups, respectively. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Conclusions: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 The GCI and HCI resulted in cognitive improvements in aMCI. An enhanced brain plasticity may be a component of the mechanism underpinning the cognitive improvements associated with the cognitive interventions.

    An Analysis of Intrusive Morbid Imagery in Rorschach Responses : The Cases of Traumatized First Responders in Korea
    Hogrefe Publishing Group ; 2023

    Abstract: Abstract: First responders are generally a high-risk group, repeatedly exposed to traumatic and distressing scenes and events on their daily duties. Identification of detailed features and recurring patterns of intrusive visual imagery for first responders with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can uncover the psychological difficulties, defenses, and further adjustment issues of occupational groups exposed to repetitive trauma. To this end, 20 Rorschach protocols for Korean first responders with PTSD symptoms were collected and analyzed. The analysis of the Rorschach records was twofold. First, the structural features of the Rorschach responses, including R and the Trauma Content Index, were examined quantitatively. Second, the detailed features of the morbid content, such as thematic classification, trauma memory responses, and emotional reactions, were qualitatively reviewed. Both analyses identified a biphasic pattern between constricted and flooded responses, showing the participants’ unsuccessful endeavors to defend against intrusive trauma-related imagery, which resulted in significant disorganization in thought and affect.

    Abstract: The goal of this study is to model the effect of language use and time pressure on English as a first language (EFL) and English as a second language (ESL) students by measuring their eye movements in an on-screen, self-directed learning environment. Background Online learning is becoming integrated into learners’ daily lives due to the flexibility in scheduling and location that it offers. However, in many cases, the online learners often have no interaction with one another or their instructors, making it difficult to determine how the learners are reading the materials and whether they are learning effectively. Furthermore, online learning may pose challenges to those who face language barriers or are under time pressure. Method The effects of two factors, language use (EFL vs. ESL) and time constraints (high vs. low time pressure), were investigated during the presentation of online materials. The effects were analyzed based on eye movement measures (eye fixation rate—the total number of eye fixations divided by the task duration and gaze entropy) and behavioral measures (correct rate and task completion time). Results The results show that the ESL students had higher eye fixation rates and longer task completion times than the EFL students. Moreover, high time pressure resulted in high fixation rates, short task completion time, low correct rates, and high gaze entropy. Conclusion and Application The results suggest the possibility of using unobtrusive eye movement measures to develop ways to better assist those who struggle with learning in the online environment.
