The Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS): Translation and adaptation to Europ...
Botelho, Catarina; Barbosa, Fernando; Campos, Carlos; Fernandes, Carina; Ferreira-Santos, Fernando; Marques-Teixeira, João; Pasion, RitaIntolerance of uncertainty is defined as the individual’s excessive propensity to find unacceptable the probability of a negative event occurring (Dugas et al., 2001b; Buhr & Dugas, 2002). This propensity is brought up bya set of negative beliefs about uncertainty and its consequences (e.g., uncertainty is unacceptable and should be avoided, and/or it leads to the inability to act;Buhr & Dugas, 2002; Freeston e...
A Domain-specific Risk-attitude Scale (DRaS): Translation and adaptation to Eur...
Botelho, Catarina; Barbosa, Fernando; Campos, Carlos; Fernandes, Carina; Ferreira-Santos, Fernando; Marques-Teixeira, João; Pasion, Rita; Seixas, CarlosRisk attitude, as conceptualized in the classic economic approach, reflects the individual’s sensitivity to disparities in outcomes (i.e., payoffs) variance (Yechiam & Ert, 2011). Brachinger and Weber (1997) further propose that risk attitude depends on the tendency to prefer/avoid risk over certainty. Thus, the degree of risk acceptance underlies risk attitudes. Likewise, Risk-Return models (Weber & Milliman, ...

Abnormal habituation of the auditory event-related potential P2 component in pa...
Mazer, Prune; Macedo, Inês; Paiva, Tiago O.; Ferreira-Santos, Fernando; Paison, Rita; Barbosa, Fernando; Almeida, Pedro; Silveira, CelesteAuditory event-related potentials (ERP) may serve as diagnostic tools for schizophrenia and inform on the susceptibility for this condition.Particularly, the examination of N1 and P2 components of the auditory ERP may shed light on the impairments of information processing streams in schizophrenia. However, the habituation properties (i.e., decreasing amplitude with the repeated presentation of an auditory stim...
The paths to negative and positive experiences of informal caregiving in severe...
Campos, Luísa; Cardoso, Carlos Mota; Marques-Teixeira, JoãoThe experience of caregiving in severe mental illness is a valuable concept for research and clinical practice as it can provide access to the idiosyncratic assessment of negative and positive dimensions of informal caregiving, thus allowing the design of interventions focused on reducing risk factors and promoting protective factors. This study was aimed at testing explanatory models of negative and positive e...
Effects of age on the identification of emotions in facial expressions: a meta-...
Gonçalves, Ana R.; Fernandes, Carina; Pasion, Rita; Ferreira-Santos, Fernando; Barbosa, Fernando; Marques-Teixeira, JoãoBackground: Emotion identification is a fundamental component of social cognition. Although it is well established that a general cognitive decline occurs with advancing age, the effects of age on emotion identification is still unclear. A meta-analysis by Ruffman and colleagues (2008) explored this issue, but much research has been published since then, reporting inconsistent findings. Methods: To examine age ...
Meta-analytic evidence for a reversal learning effect on the Iowa gambling task...
Pasion, Rita; Gonçalves, Ana R.; Fernandes, Carina; Ferreira-Santos, Fernando; Barbosa, Fernando; Marques-Teixeira, JoãoIowa Gambling Task (IGT) is one of the most widely used tools to assess economic decision-making. However, the research tradition on aging and the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) has been mainly focused on the overall performance of older adults in relation to younger or clinical groups, remaining unclear whether older adults are capable of learning along the task. We conducted a meta-analysis to examine older adults'...
Auditory event-related potentials in autism with generalized epilepsy and famil...
Coutinho, Susana; Tomé, David; Lopes, Paula; Marques-Teixeira, JoãoLast fifteen years revealed an exponential growth in endophenotype and biomarkers research field in autism and epilepsy. The main goal seems to establish the relationship between neurobiological processes underlying pathological mechanisms and clinical expression, to define better treatment strategies but also accurate diagnosis. Comorbidity of autism with epilepsy occurs in 30% of cases. However, little is kno...
Differences in Mismatch Negativity (MMN) response to Pure-tone and Speech sound...
Tomé, David; Barbosa, Fernando; Marques-Teixeira, JoãoThe relation of automatic auditory discrimination, measured with MMN, with the type of stimuli has not been well established in the literature, despite its importance as an electrophysiological measure of central sound representation. In this study, MMN response was elicited by pure-tone and speech binaurally passive auditory oddball paradigm in a group of 8 normal young adult subjects at the same intensity lev...
Mismatch negativity in childhood temporal lobe epilepsy: a proposed paradigm fo...
Tomé, David; Moreira, Pedro; Marques-Teixeira, João; Barbosa, Fernando; Jääskeläinen, SatuBackground: Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is a neurological disorder that directly affects cortical areas responsible for auditory processing. The resulting abnormalities can be assessed using event-related potentials (ERP), which have high temporal resolution. However, little is known about TLE in terms of dysfunction of early sensory memory encoding or possible correlations between EEGs, linguistic deficits, a...
