Microbiome functional gene pathways, what the bacteria are equipped to do rather than which species are present, and how they relate to cognitive performance in older adults at risk for Alzheimer’s. #GutMicrobiome #CognitiveAging #AlzheimersResearch pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4217…

In 253 breast cancer survivors, sleep-related impairment tracked strongly with self-reported cognition and barely with tested cognition. Memory, attention and processing speed: no significant association. The gap is the finding. #SleepHealth pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4228…

Test spotlight: 9-Hole Pegboard Dexterity. Nine pegs in, nine pegs out, as fast as you can, then the other hand. Fine motor dexterity from age 3 to adulthood in about four minutes. #FineMotorSkills #Dexterity #Rehabilitation youtu.be/SxMZLTNI8Ic?si=on7E…

Test spotlight - Words in Noise: a voice asks you to repeat a word while people talk behind it, getting quieter until it’s level with the noise. That’s hearing loss as people actually experience it. #HearingHealth #SpeechInNoise #Audiology youtube.com/@NIHToolbox

Calub et al. (2026): In 1,035 adolescents, autistic youth scored lower than controls on fluid cognition. Autistic youth who also had ADHD scored no differently from those without it. Co-occurrence was not additive here. #ADHDAwareness #Autism #CognitiveAssessment

Day two at ACRM in DC. One day left, NIH Toolbox® V3 and Mobile Toolbox on the program, hybrid access still open. @ACRMconference #ACRM2026 #Rehabilitation #OutcomeMeasures resources.nihtoolbox.org/upc…

A School Readiness Index across five domains, built on the NIH Toolbox® Early Childhood Cognition. In 119 children aged 54 to 65 months, early learning was the weakest domain. #SchoolReadiness #EarlyChildhood #ChildDevelopment pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/article…

We’re also conducting a workshop for advanced methodology when modeling multinational data! Please come to booth #406 for more information! #M4

Our ACRM week starts today. We’re in DC through Thursday with @ACRMconference, answering questions about our products. Hybrid this year, so feel free to reach out even if you couldn't make it! #ACRM2026 #Rehabilitation #OutcomeMeasures nihtoolbox.org

ACRM opens today at the Washington Hilton, through Oct 16. NIH Toolbox® V3 and Mobile Toolbox both on the program, and it's hybrid this year, so DC isn't required. #ACRM2026 #Rehabilitation #OutcomeMeasures Details: resources.nihtoolbox.org/upc…

In 43 cognitively healthy older adults, working memory and cognitive flexibility tracked worse everyday functioning even after controlling for depression. But no cognitive measure correlated with informant-rated functioning. Who you ask changes the answer. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4215…

Two days. M4 Workshop 2 on Item Response Theory starts Thursday Oct 8, four sessions through Oct 29, free and grant-funded. #ItemResponseTheory #Psychometrics #ResearchTraining Register: northwestern.az1.qualtrics.c…

Test spotlight: hear a word, pick which of four pictures means the same. Three minutes, ages 3 to adult, no materials to lay out. Adaptive testing is why that range fits in one test. #ReceptiveVocabulary #CognitiveAssessment #Psychometrics
