Summary: This study used digital neuropsychological tests to evaluate performance stability in patients with acquired brain injury (ABI) and healthy controls, finding that patients with ABI showed greater fluctuations in test performance. Some patients within normal range on traditional scores were outside normal range on performance stability measures. However, neither performance stability measures nor traditional scores were associated with cognitive complaints in daily life for patients.

Summary: This study explores the role of cognitive abilities and rehabilitation neuropsychologists in helping patients with acquired brain injuries (ABIs) to return to driving. Cognitive difficulties can impact driving performance, and neuropsychologists contribute by assessing cognition, promoting self-awareness, minimizing errors, providing education, and preparing for road tests.

Summary: Despite concerns about driving safety, many stroke drivers resume driving due to the lack of valid screening tools. A Driving Performance Assessment System for Stroke drivers (Driving-PASS) is proposed, utilizing a driving simulator to pre-screen invalid stroke drivers and provide driving rehabilitation guidance.

Summary: The study found that simulator training had a positive impact on driver confidence for individuals with acquired brain injury. The Simulator group showed an increase in confidence ratings, while the Usual Care group reported a decrease. There was no significant change in self-awareness for the Simulator group compared to the Usual Care group, but the Simulator group performed slightly worse in on-road driving assessments.

Summary: The aim of the study was to determine the feasibility and potential benefits of using a driving simulator screening test in addition to the on-road driving test. The results showed that the simulator test was able to successfully identify drivers who were not sufficiently aware of the risks associated with driving. The study suggests that the driving simulator can be a useful tool for practice and education.

Summary: This study found that deficits in financial tasks in MCI patients were significantly predicted by impairments in executive functions, language, and short-term memory. While some cognitive functions are crucial for financial decision-making, specialized tests of financial capacity are essential for overall inferences about the everyday financial autonomy of MCI patients.

Summary: The study found that therapy engagement is a crucial factor in successful rehabilitation outcomes and can mediate the relationship between neuropsychological performance and functional outcomes. Cognitive deficits associated with brain injury can hinder full engagement in therapy, leading to diminished potential gains in functional recovery. Neuropsychological assessment can help identify characteristics underlying therapy engagement to optimize personalized treatment plans.

Summary: The study tested the incremental utility of response time (RT) on the Warrington Recognition Memory Test - Words (RMT-W) in classifying bona fide versus feigned TBI. Results showed that RT indices, especially in the SIM group, can contribute to distinguishing between genuine and fabricated TBI. Combining RT with PVTs can enhance the diagnostic accuracy of RMT-W in discriminating between verified and feigned TBI.

Summary: High pain anxiety is associated with lower education, poor self-efficacy, and more emotional distress, negatively impacting rehabilitation outcomes for individuals with ABI. Pain anxiety is negatively related to therapy engagement, and it moderates the impact of self-efficacy on basic ADLs for ABI patients.

Summary: The study found that most individuals with moderate-to-severe TBI resume driving daily, although some reduce driving frequency compared to pre-injury. Driving patterns are mainly influenced by factors such as employment, family income, sex, residence, and time since injury. Confidence in driving ability is usually associated with higher driving frequency.

Summary: In individuals with moderate-to-severe TBI, DS-derived PVTs showed comparable discriminability, but the traditional RDS demonstrated the best classification accuracy in terms of specificity/sensitivity balance. Individuals with TBI were more likely to perseverate on prior instructions during DS Sequencing.

Summary: Pupillometry proved to be a valuable tool in distinguishing between individuals with traumatic brain injury, simulators, and healthy controls, providing information beyond traditional accuracy scores. Simulators exhibited greater cognitive load than instructed groups, and showed a diminished response to familiar stimuli compared to TBI patients and healthy controls. Additional research on pupillometry is warranted to improve identification of simulators missed by standard performance validity test scoring metrics.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of preparation time and financial incentives on healthy adults' ability to simulate traumatic brain injury during neuropsychological evaluation. The results showed that the group with financial incentives and preparation time performed worse on certain cognitive tests compared to the traditional coaching group, but did not significantly increase the rates of successful simulation or avoidance of detection by performance validity tests.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between functional outcomes and performance on standard-length and abbreviated cognitive screening measures for multiple sclerosis (MS). The results showed that the abbreviated test versions had a broad range of concordance with impairment classifications made using the full-length tests. Processing speed was found to be the strongest correlate of neurological disability and employment status, while immediate recall was the strongest predictor of subjective physical dysfunction. Overall, test performance provided unique value in predicting neurological disability and employment status.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of disclosure-oriented sexual health interviews on the sexual and psychological health of Arab American women. The results indicated that participants responded positively to the interviews and showed significant improvements in sexual satisfaction and discomfort with sexual self-disclosure at the 5-week follow-up. Additionally, women with no past sexual experience showed greater improvements in sexual self-schema compared to women with sexual experience.
