“…31 In the current study we focused on alcohol and cannabis use as these are the substances most commonly used by young people that may have an impact on cognition. 4 We defined moderate-to-high alcohol use as a score of 11 and over and moderate-to-high cannabis use as a score of 4 and over in accordance with the WHO-ASSIST guidelines. 31…”

“…Subjective cognitive difficulties, complaints or failures (such as losing one's train of thought, forgetting important information or having trouble concentrating) are commonly experienced by people with mental disorders. [1][2][3] Subjective cognitive difficulties are not significantly correlated with objective clinician-administered tests of cognitive performance, [4][5][6][7][8][9] but are significantly associated with a range of individual factors, including levels of stress, chronotype, substance use, sleep quality and mental health symptoms to name a few. 2,5,6,[10][11][12][13] People with depression and anxiety disorders appear especially susceptible to subjective cognitive difficulties; 1-3,9,14,15 these difficulties are associated with severity of affective symptoms [16][17][18][19] and have a negative impact on role functioning and quality of life.…”

Background Subjective cognitive difficulties are common in mental illness and have a negative impact on role functioning. Little is understood about subjective cognition and the longitudinal relationship with depression and anxiety symptoms in young people. Aims To examine the relationship between changes in levels of depression and anxiety and changes in subjective cognitive functioning over 3 months in help-seeking youth. Method This was a cohort study of 656 youth aged 12–25 years attending Australian headspace primary mental health services. Subjective changes in cognitive functioning (rated as better, same, worse) reported after 3 months of treatment was assessed using the Neuropsychological Symptom Self-Report. Multivariate multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the impact of baseline levels of and changes in depression (nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire; PHQ9) and anxiety symptoms (seven-item Generalised Anxiety Disorder scale; GAD7) on changes in subjective cognitive function at follow-up while controlling for covariates. Results With a one-point reduction in PHQ9 at follow-up, there was an estimated 11–18% increase in ratings of better subjective cognitive functioning at follow-up, relative to stable cognitive functioning. A one-point increase in PHQ9 from baseline to follow-up was associated with 7–14% increase in ratings of worse subjective cognitive functioning over 3 months, relative to stable cognitive functioning. A similar attenuated pattern of findings was observed for the GAD7. Conclusions A clear association exists between subjective cognitive functioning outcomes and changes in self-reported severity of affective symptoms in young people over the first 3 months of treatment. Understanding the timing and mechanisms of these associations is needed to tailor treatment.

“…As such, failures are typically measured via self-report. Similar to schizophrenia patients [11] , healthy individuals high in schizotypy, or "high schizotypes", consistently report experiencing more cognitive failures than those low in schizotypy [12][13][14] . Along the psychosis continuum, such subjective complaints are made even in the absence of detectable objective neuropsychological deficits [15,16] , which suggests that cognitive failures may be a marker of psychosis risk present prior to the onset of more marked, objectively detectable impairments [14] .…”

“…A mixture of trait (i.e., schizotypy) and state (i.e., affect) factors seem be important in shaping individuals' experiences of cognition [11] , and thus both need to be considered in research concerning cognitive failures. This is perhaps the defining feature characterizing the study of everyday failures as distinct from more traditional research focusing on cognitive ability [45] .…”

Background: Cognitive failures are disruptions in cognitive functioning during everyday life. Vulnerability to these failures is increased in a range of psychological disorders, including schizophrenia. In addition, healthy individuals with personality-based psychosis proneness, or schizotypy, often complain of heightened failures. A factor known to exacerbate cognitive failures is negative affect. Negative affectivity is linked to both schizophrenia and schizotypy. It is therefore possible that affect is responsible for the increased everyday cognitive failures in “high schizotypes”. This poses 2 possibilities: are cognitive failures only present in high schizotypes who also have negative affect (moderation)? Or does negative affect account for the relationship between schizotypy and cognitive failures (mediation)? We sought to explore whether negative affect mediates or moderates the relationship between schizotypy and cognitive failures in young adults. Sampling and Methods: Healthy young adults from a student and community sample (n = 863, 71% female) aged 18-25 years (mean = 19.5, SD = 1.87) completed online questionnaires measuring self-report schizotypy, negative affect, and cognitive failures. Moderation and mediation analyses were carried out using the PROCESS macro in SPSS to examine how negative affect exerted its effect on the relationship between schizotypy and cognitive failures. Results: All 3 factors were positively correlated. Negative affect was not a moderator for the relationship between schizotypy and cognitive failures; however, it did partially mediate this relationship. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that whilst schizotypy and negative affect do not interact to produce cognitive failures, negative affect contributes to (but does not fully account for) the mechanism by which schizotypy increases failures in young adults. Other, as yet unidentified, facets of schizotypy also appear to contribute to cognitive failures. In attempting to address the cognitive complaints of at-risk individuals, clinicians need to be aware of the role of negative affect and other pertinent aspects of schizotypy.

“…Cognitive failure is mental lapses in perception, attention, memory, and action (3). It could be the result of internal thoughts or external distractions (4) and occur during routine tasks that one would usually have no difficulty in successfully completing (5). For instance, cognitive failure may be the inability to remember the name of a familiar person, the date, or the equipment layout in the workplace (6).…”

Received: February 2017, Accepted: September 2017 Background: Cognitive failure is mental lapses in perception, attention, memory, and action. It occurs during routine tasks that one would usually have no difficulty in successfully completing. Cognitive performance is influenced by conditions and some individual and job characteristics and the identification of factors that affect human performance is essential to prevent human error. The purpose of this study was to evaluate cognitive failures and identify individual and job related factors in industry employees. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 173 employees of an industry in Qom Province in Central Iran in 2016. The demographic information were collected via interviews and related questionnaires. Moreover, cognitive failures were assessed using the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ). Data analysis was performed using factor analysis, t-test, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regressions. Results: Factor analysis showed that cognitive failures have three domains (memory, attention, and action). Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the whole questionnaire was 0.89. The mean ± SD score of cognitive failures in the study group was 1.07 ± 0.55. The statistical analysis of the data revealed that there was a significant correlation between smoking, chronic disease, and work experience and cognitive failures (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Cognitive failures have a multi-dimensional structure and these dimensions have an integral relationship. It seems that chronic disease, smoking, and work experience cause an increase in the risk of cognitive failures, but this issue requires further and more comprehensive studies.
