Summary: The study challenges the assumption that shorter ISIs in the GNG enable better assessment of response inhibition, as it found that increasing the number of commission errors under extremely short ISIs may not be an appropriate metric for assessing response inhibition.

Summary: Advancements in virtual environment technologies have provided psychologists with high-dimensional virtual reality platforms that enhance cognitive assessments. The Virtual Reality Stroop Task HMMWV (VRST) is an assessment involving cognitive and affective components. Adaptive virtual environments (AVEs) that can adjust stimuli complexity based on performance are needed. This study developed machine learning classifiers for an adaptive version of the VRST, finding that Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Naive Bayes (NB) had the highest accuracies and performance in classifying users.

Summary: The presence of background music had similar effects to silence on adults' selective attention capacities, while noise appeared to have a detrimental impact, especially when the task was easier cognitively. Sound stimulation in the environment seems to be a factor that can affect cognitive tasks performance.

Summary: There is an ongoing debate about how to test and operationalize self-control. This limited understanding is in large part due to a variety of different tests and measures used to assess self-control, as well as the lack of empirical studies examining the temporal dynamics during the exertion of self-control. The results suggest that there is a disconnect between different measures of self-control with high intra- and interindividual variability, highlighting the need for further research in this area.

Summary: This paper presents a virtual reality Stroop test application that incorporates influencer-based elements. The study examines the effects of these elements on performance and stress levels, finding that social presence generally improves performance and reduces stress, except in competitive situations. The research contributes to the development of more engaging and effective virtual Stroop tests.

Summary: This study examined whether performance on a Go/No-go (GNG) task and computational modeling could enhance prediction of suicide attempts within the next 90 days among individuals at high-risk for suicide. The results showed that increased miss rate on the GNG task predicted actual suicide attempts, while increased false alarm rate predicted other suicide-related events. Computational modeling revealed that decreases in decisional efficiency to targets were specifically associated with upcoming suicide attempts. These findings suggest that GNG testing may improve prediction of near-term suicide risk.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the relationship between psychopathy and response inhibition. The findings showed a significant association, with a relatively small effect size, indicating that difficulties in response inhibition may not be a cardinal feature of psychopathic personality. Furthermore, the strength of this relationship did not vary across different samples or task types.

Summary: Therapeutic interventions have not been proven to restore declining long-term memory in healthy older adults. However, a virtual reality spatial wayfinding game was shown to improve high-fidelity long-term memory capabilities in older adults. The study demonstrates the generalization of benefits from the VR game to untrained long-term memory capabilities.

Summary: Virtual reality has the potential to extend human capabilities beyond reality, but it is unclear whether users perceive augmentation-oriented designs as augmenting and whether the experience is beneficial. Two consecutive experimental vignette studies were conducted to compare reality-oriented designs and augmentation-oriented designs. The findings show that augmentation-oriented designs create a more intensive augmentation experience, which is positively related to positive affect, need fulfillment, usage intention, and hedonic quality. Additionally, a new measure for assessing the subjective experience of augmentation was successfully established.

Summary: Recent interest in measuring executive function in schizophrenia has focused on ecological and virtual reality tools over traditional methods. While these newer tools offer higher levels of realism compared to traditional methods, the relationship between negative symptoms, disorganization, and executive dysfunction remains unclear when using ecological and VR assessments. Further research is needed to confirm findings and treatment strategies for executive dysfunction in schizophrenia.

Summary: Studies on occipital cortex plasticity in blindness reveal that a right-lateralized occipital network in blind individuals responds to non-verbal executive processes, including response selection, and connectivity with the prefrontal cortex plays a crucial role in plasticity in blindness.

Summary: This study found that the concordance between paraphilic interests and behaviors among adults in the general population is relatively low, at around 50%, and the concordance rates varied with gender and the legal nature of paraphilia. Paraphilic interests in adults from the general population may not have the same predictive value as observed in medico-legal contexts.

Summary: Although most persons with a schizophrenia-spectrum disorder are not aggressive, a minority is at higher risks to commit violent acts, especially in forensic settings. This study assessed the association between self-report questionnaires, neuropsychological tests, and olfactory functions in inpatients of a maximum-security hospital, and found that impulsivity, attention deficits, and odor identification were predictive factors for institutional violence in forensic settings.

Summary: A growing number of large-scale studies suggest that individuals with disabilities are at higher risk of sexual victimization compared to non-disabled individuals, with the risk being significantly higher among adults with disabilities. Sensory impairment is the type of disability associated with the highest risk of sexual victimization. Additionally, individuals with disabilities in African countries have significantly higher odds of experiencing sexual victimization compared to other countries.

Summary: Studies have shown that BDSM practices are not signs of mental illness, but the reasons for engaging in these behaviors, especially sexual masochism or submission, are complex and often linked to early life experiences and altered states of mind associated with sexual arousal.

Summary: Many funding agencies have emphasized the importance of considering sex as a biological variable in experimental design to improve the reproducibility and translational relevance of preclinical research. Omitting the female sex from experimental designs in neuroscience and pharmacology can result in biased or limited understanding of disease mechanisms. This article provides methodological considerations for incorporating sex as a biological variable in in vitro and in vivo experiments, including the influence of age and hormone levels, and proposes strategies to enhance methodological rigor and translational relevance in preclinical research.
