Computerized Neurocognitive Scanning: I. Methodology and Validation in Healthy People

Computerized Neurocognitive Scanning: II. The Profile of Schizophrenia

“…This differs from some reports of less neurocognitive impairment in women than men with schizophrenia (Goldstein et al 1998;Hoff et al 1996), or more impairment in women than men (Lewine et al 1996), but is consistent with earlier reports from our center reporting similar impairment in male and female patients. The difference favoring women with schizophrenia for verbal memory and men for spatial processing may reflect normal sex differences in these domains (Bleecker et al 1988;Gur et al 1999aGur et al ,2001Kimura and Harshman 1984;Kramer et al 1988). Thus, it seems that although clinical measures favoring women do correlate with neurocognitive functioning, the effect is not sufficient to produce a group difference in neuropsychological performance.…”

fMRI predictors of treatment outcome in pediatric anxiety disorders

“…fMRI Task. The face-attention paradigm, described in detail in prior publications (29,30), requires participants to view a randomly ordered series of 32 standardized grayscale evocative faces (eight stimuli representing each of four emotions: afraid, happy, neutral, angry) drawn from three widely used stimulus sets (31)(32)(33). Each face is viewed repeatedly, once during each of four epochs that alternate in randomized order.…”

Facial emotion recognition in adolescents with psychotic-like experiences: a school-based sample from the general population

“…The Penn Emotion Recognition-40 Test (Penn ER-40 ; Gur et al 2001) comprises 40 coloured photographs of adult faces (depicting individuals who differ in race and gender) expressing one of four basic emotions (sad, happy, angry, and scared) and also the ' no feeling ' emotional expression (i.e. eight faces depicting each of these five expressions).…”
