Are motivational benefits of adequately challenging schoolwork related to students' need for cognition, cognitive ability, or both? Universiteit Gent KU Leuven
Children's advertising literacy: recognition and understanding of banners and the role of need for cognition and advertising literacy classes Universiteit Gent Universiteit Antwerpen
The aim of this study is to examine the online advertising literacy of children (10-12 years). By means of a survey administered to a total of 224 children, we investigate to what extent children are able to recognize a banner ad on a website and understand its persuasive, informational and selling intent. The banners are manipulated on two characteristics: congruence and complexity. Furthermore, the role of need for cognition and advertising ...
Improving clarity and transparency in cognitive assessment: conversion of the Cambridge Cognition Examination to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Background: A variety of screening, diagnostic and assessment tools have been developed for use in dementia research and care. However, there is no consensus which tool to use and moreover there is no transparency in communication between countries and disciplines. Objective: To contribute to a more uniform assessment in dementia, the Cambridge Cognition Examination (CAMCOG) was converted to the International Classification of Functioning, ...
Study protocol: improving cognition in people with progressive multiple sclerosis: a multi-arm, randomized, blinded, sham-controlled trial of cognitive rehabilitation and aerobic exercise (COGEx) Universiteit Hasselt
Background Cognitive dysfunction affects up to 70% of people with progressive MS (PMS). It can exert a deleterious effect on activities of daily living, employment and relationships. Preliminary evidence suggests that performance can improve with cognitive rehabilitation (CR) and aerobic exercise (EX), but existing data are predominantly from people with relapsing-remitting MS without cognitive impairment. There is therefore a need to ...
Understanding others: a pilot investigation of cognitive and affective facets of social cognition in patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS). KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: Although significant impairments in the affective and cognitive facets of social cognition have been highlighted in patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) in previous studies, these domains have never been investigated simultaneously within the same group of participants. Furthermore, despite theoretical evidence, associations between these two processes and schizotypal symptoms or social difficulties in this population ...
Seeking, mastering, and enjoying cognitive effort: Scrutinizing the role of need for cognition in academic achievement KU Leuven
The construct of Need for Cognition reflects individual differences in the tendency to seek, engage in, and enjoy effortful cognitive activities. This study scrutinized the role of Need for Cognition in academic achievement in a large sample of Flemish adolescents (n = 3409; 49.6 % boys; Mage = 12.4 years). Using CFA and linear regressions models, findings revealed that Need for Cognition was uniquely associated with student's academic ...
Baseline cognition is the best predictor of 4-year cognitive change in cognitively intact older adults KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: We examined in cognitively intact older adults the relative weight of cognitive, genetic, structural and amyloid brain imaging variables for predicting cognitive change over a 4-year time course. METHODS: One hundred-eighty community-recruited cognitively intact older adults (mean age 68 years, range 52-80 years, 81 women) belonging to the Flemish Prevent Alzheimer's Disease Cohort KU Leuven (F-PACK) longitudinal observational cohort ...
Progress toward standardized diagnosis of vascular cognitive impairment: Guidelines from the Vascular Impairment of Cognition Classification Consensus Study KU Leuven Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Antwerpen
INTRODUCTION: Progress in understanding and management of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) has been hampered by lack of consensus on diagnosis, reflecting the use of multiple different assessment protocols. A large multinational group of clinicians and researchers participated in a two-phase Vascular Impairment of Cognition Classification Consensus Study (VICCCS) to agree on principles (VICCCS-1) and protocols (VICCCS-2) for diagnosis of VCI. ...
