“…Em contrapartida, outros estudos vêm desafiando essa visão de que os instrumentos que avaliam o construto FE não são confiáveis e válidos ao serem aplicados mais de uma vez 19,20 . Com o intuito de verificar essa ideia, Ettenhofer et al 19 investigaram a fidedignidade de três instrumentos neuropsicológicos amplamente utilizados para medir as FE -WCST, teste de Stroop e Trail Making Test (TMT).…”

“…Na confiabilidade de instrumentos destinados a mensurar as FE, alguns autores apontam que há uma baixa correlação entre teste--reteste 18 , por causa das peculiaridades do construto avaliado. Estudos atuais, porém, vêm desafiando essa ideia ao encontrarem uma correlação moderada positiva entre teste--reteste de medidas de FE 19,20 . Poucas investigações apresentam um posicionamento consensual sobre qual índice entre teste e reteste pode ser considerado suficiente para atestar sobre a confiabilidade de alguma tarefa de FE.…”

“…Functional imaging studies have documented associations between PGNG performance and activation in the prefrontal and anterior cingulate regions of the brain [19,20]; both structures have been implicated in behavioral self-regulation in humans [21]. Detailed discussion of the factor structure and construct validity of the PGNG test is published elsewhere [17,22].…”

INTRODUCTIONThe transtheoretical model (TTM) consists of a framework of five discrete stages adopted to study health-promoting behavior. These stages include precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance [1]. Behavioral and cognitive processes of change, decisional balance which incorporates pros and cons, and self-efficacy are core constructs of TTM. A vast amount of research suggests that TTM is useful in promoting physical activity behavior change [2].The utility of the TTM in promoting physical activity behavior across varying executive function levels has not been fully investigated. Although the TTM has been shown to be effective in promoting physical activity across various populations including children/adolescents [3], adults in the general population [4], and adults with chronic disease [5], it is plausible that executive function may moderate the utility of the TTM in predicting physical activity. This plausibility stems from the fact that the previous research demonstrates that executive function improvement is associated with increased physical activity [6] and decreased sedentary behavior [7]. Executive functioning (EF) is defined as managing cognitive processes including working memory, cognitive flexibility, response selection, planning, and execution of tasks [8]. For illustrative purposes, EF may moderate the effects of TTM on physical activity. For example, those with worse cognitive function may be less inclined and able to set physical activity goals and enlist social support (behavioral processes of change), and further, those with lower levels of EF may have reduced self-efficacy to overcome physical activity barriers [9]. Despite this plausibility, no study, to our knowledge, has indeed evaluated whether EF plays a moderating role on the relationship between the TTM constructs and physical activity behavior. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the association of each of the TTM strategies on physical activity, with considerations by EF level. We hypothesize that EF will moderate the association between the TTM constructs and physical activity. METHODS Design and ParticipantsParticipants (undergraduate/graduate students) were recruited via a convenience-based sampling approach at the authors' institution, which is located in the Southeastern part of the Examining the moderating effects of executive function on transtheoretical model utilization to predict physical activityChelsea Joyner, Paul D. Loprinzi ABSTRACT Introduction: The purpose of this study was to examine the association of each of the transtheoretical model (TTM) constructs on physical activity, with considerations by executive function levels, which has yet to be evaluated in the literature. This is a noteworthy investigation as this may help determine whether the utility of the TTM is contingent upon an individual's level of executive function. Methods: Data were collected from 200 University students (mean age: 21.6 years; 63% female). TTM constructs were assessed via a validated TTM surve...

Background Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and anxiety disorders often co-occur, with poorer treatment response and long-term outcomes. However, little is known about the shared and distinct neural mechanisms of comorbid MDD and anxiety (MDD+Anx). This study examined how MDD and MDD+Anx differentially impact cognitive control. Methods Eighteen MDD, 29 MDD+Anx, and 54 healthy controls (HC) completed the Parametric Go/No-go (PGNG) during fMRI, including Target, Commission and Rejection trials. Results MDD+Anx had more activation in the anterior dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and caudate during Rejections, and inferior parietal lobule during correct Targets than MDD and HC. During Rejections HC had greater activation in a number of cognitive control regions compared to MDD; in the posterior cingulate compared to MDD+Anx; and in the fusiform gyrus compared to all MDD. During Commissions HC had greater activation in the right inferior frontal gyrus than all MDD. MDD had more activation in the mid-cingulate, inferior parietal lobule, and superior temporal gyrus than MDD+Anx during Commissions. Conclusions Despite similar performance, MDD and MDD+Anx showed distinct differences in neural mechanisms of cognitive control in relation to each other, as well as some shared differences in relation to HC. The results were consistent with our hypothesis of hypervigilance in MDD+Anx within the cognitive control network, but inconsistent with our hypothesis that there would be greater engagement of salience and emotion network regions. Comorbidity of depression and anxiety may cause increased heterogeneity in study samples, requiring further specificity in detection and measurement of intermediate phenotypes and treatment targets.
