VRainSUD: Content validation of a Cognitive Training Program using the Delphi M...
Caetano, Tânia; Pinho, Maria Salomé; Freire, Hugo; Mota, Dany; Ramadas, Eduardo; Lopes, Jessica; Dixe, Maria dos AnjosSubstance abuse has undeniable effects on several cognitive domains, with these associated deficits contributing to poorer treatment outcomes in substance use disorders (SUD). Cognitive training programs (CTPs) address these cognitive deficits, contributing to improved treatment outcomes. The main goal of this study was to validate the content of VRainSUD, a CTP virtual reality-based platform and a mobile follo...
Development and usability of VRainSUD’s cognitive training virtual reality plat...
Caetano, Tânia; Pinho, Maria Salomé; Freire, Hugo; Mota, Dany; Ramadas, Eduardo; Lopes,Jessica; Freire-Santos, Filipa; Dixe, Maria dos AnjosCognitive deficits have been shown to increase the likelihood of relapse in individuals with substance use disorders (SUD). As such, cognitive training programs are important interventions for this population. In this study, we describe the development and test the usability of a virtual reality (VR)-based cognitive training program for individuals with SUD – VRainSUD. A total of 17 patients receiving inpatient...
Effectiveness of a virtual reality-based cognitive training program on memory, ...
Caetano, Tânia; Pinho, Maria Salomé; Ramadas, Eduardo; Freire-Santos, Filipa; Dixe, Maria dos AnjosBackground: Cognitive deficits are frequently observed in individuals with Substance use disorders (SUD) and have been linked to poorer treatment outcomes and a heightened risk of relapse. We aimed to study the effectiveness of a 6-week virtual reality-based cognitive training program (VRainSUD-VR) on neuropsychological outcomes, specifically memory, executive functioning, and processing speed, as well as on tr...
BANC: Dados Normativos através de Análises de Regressão para Adolescentes de 16...
Moura, Octávio; Pereira, Marcelino; Albuquerque, Cristina P.; Pinho, Maria Salomé; Vilar, Manuela; Lopes, Ana Filipa; Alberto, IsabelA BANC permite a avaliação de um conjunto de funções neurocognitivas (memória, linguagem, atenção, funções executivas, motricidade e lateralidade) dos 5 aos 15 anos de idade. Este estudo teve por objetivo a estimação de dados normativos para os 16 e 17 anos de idade através de análises de regressão. Foi utilizada a amostra de aferição da BANC (Simões et al., 2016) constituída por 1104 crianças e adolescentes, e...
Substance abuse and susceptibility to false memory formation: a systematic revi...
Caetano, Tânia; Pinho, Maria Salomé; Ramadas, Eduardo; Lopes, Jessica; Areosa, Timóteo; Ferreira, Daniela; Dixe, Maria dos AnjosBackground: Substance abuse has an impact on various cognitive domains, includingmemory. Even though this impact has been extensively examined across different subdomains, false memory has been sparsely studied. This systematic review andmeta-analysis seek to synthesize the current scientific data concerning false memory formation in individuals with a history of substance abuse. Methods: PubMed, Scopus, the Co...

Cognitive Training Effectiveness on Memory, Executive Functioning, and Processi...
Caetano, Tânia; Pinho, Maria Salomé; Ramadas, Eduardo; Clara, Cátia; Areosa, Timóteo; Dixe, Maria dos AnjosBackground: Cerebral neuroplasticity is compromised due to substance abuse. There is damage to neuronal areas that are involved in memory and executive functioning. Treatments with worse outcomes are often associated with cognitive deficits that have resulted from substance dependence. However, there is evidence that cognitive training can lead to improvements in cognitive functions and can be useful when treat...

A comparison of two personalization and adaptive cognitive rehabilitation appro...
Faria, Ana Lúcia; Pinho, Maria Salomé; Bermúdez I Badia, SergiPaper-and-pencil tasks are still widely used for cognitive rehabilitation despite the proliferation of new computer-based methods, like VR-based simulations of ADL's. Studies have established construct validity of VR assessment tools with their paper-and-pencil version by demonstrating significant associations with their traditional construct-driven measures. However, VR rehabilitation intervention tools are mo...
The effects of aging and an episodic specificity induction on spontaneous task-...
Jordão, Magda; Pinho, Maria Salomé; St Jacques, Peggy L.When voluntarily describing their past or future, older adults typically show a reduction in episodic specificity (e.g., including fewer details reflecting a specific event, time and/or place). However, aging has less impact on other types of tasks that place minimal demands on strategic retrieval such as spontaneous thoughts. In the current study, we investigated age-related differences in the episodic specifi...
