The neuropsychology and neurobiology of late-onset schizophrenia and very-late-onset schizophrenia-like psychosis: A critical review KU Leuven Universiteit Antwerpen
OBJECTIVE: The current review discusses neuropsychological profiles and the longitudinal course of cognitive dysfunction in Late Onset Schizophrenia (LOS) and Very-late-onset schizophrenia-like psychosis (VLOSLP), and attempts to clarify its neurobiological underpinnings. METHOD: A systematic literature search resulted in 29 publications describing original research on the neuropsychology of LOS/VLOSLP and 46 studies focussing on neurobiology. ...
Waiting impulsivity: a distinctive feature of ADHD neuropsychology? KU Leuven
Impulsivity is a core feature of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It has been conceptualized in a number of different ways. In the current article, we examine how the new concept of "waiting impulsivity", which refers to premature responding before a scheduled target appears, adds to our understanding of impulsivity in ADHD. Sixty children (8-12 years old; 30 ADHD; 30 typically developing controls) completed the 4-choice serial ...
The neuropsychology of child sexual offending Universiteit Antwerpen
Relatively little research has examined the neuropsychological functioning of child sex offenders. While research has demonstrated that child sex offenders present with neuropsychological deficits, there is a lack of empirically supported insight into the nature of these deficits. Consequently, important questions concerning the neuropsychological functioning of child sex offenders remain unanswered. Firstly, it is not known conclusively which ...
The neuropsychology of normal aging and preclinical Alzheimer's disease Universiteit Antwerpen
Objective: A National Institute on Aging sponsored work group on preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD) articulated the need to characterize cognitive differences between normal aging and preclinical AD. Methods: Seventy-one apolipoprotein E (APOE) epsilon 4 homozygotes, 194 epsilon 3/epsilon 4 heterozygotes, and 356 epsilon 4 noncarriers age 21 to 87 years who were cognitively healthy underwent neuropsychological testing every 2 years. ...
The interplay between perceptual organization and object recognition: Temporal dynamics and neuropsychology KU Leuven
The ease and efficiency with which we perceive objects in daily life masks the complexity of the processes involved. The main goal of my doctoral research was to enhance our understanding of the complex interplay between perceptual organization and object recognition. To this end, we investigated the dynamic interplay between different component processes of object recognition, and their temporal dynamics. In the first part of this thesis, I ...
Neuropsychology is nothing without control: a potential fallacy hidden in clinical studies Universiteit Gent
The role of reentrant processes in feature binding: Evidence from neuropsychology and TMS on late onset illusory conjunctions KU Leuven
We report data on illusory conjunctions (ICs) in a colour/letter identification task from a patient with simultanagnosia following bilateral parietal lesions and from a study using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with normal participants. We show that, even though target conjunctions were reported well above chance across a range of exposure durations, ICs were only generated at longer display exposures while feature errors decreased ...
