“…This finding is similar to earlier studies which have reported evidence for substantial enhancements in the performance on the trained tasks with WM training (Guye, Simoni, & von Bastian, 2017;Matzen et al, 2016;von Bastian & Oberauer, 2014). Similar evidence on the improvements on the trained tasks have been reported among young-aged and old-aged adults (Karbach & Verhaeghen, 2014;Melby-Lervåg et al, 2016) and in our earlier research among middle-aged adults (Mridula et al, 2017;Namratha et al, 2017).…”

“…The results revealed the experimental group to have significantly higher scores after the WM training than the control group on most of the near transfer tasks, except for the object recall and digit ordering tasks. The present findings seem to be in line with some of those studies in literature which have reported some near transfer effects from pre to post-training assessments (Klingberg, 2010;Mridula et al, 2017;Namratha et al, 2017;Shipstead, Redick, & Engle, 2012). Research evidence suggest that improvements in trained tasks may strengthen the performance on the tasks which rely on cognitive processes similar to that of the trained tasks or which share similar neural connections as that of the tasks used during training (Dahlin et al, 2008).…”

“…Cognitive and communicative processes interact to enable individuals to understand the world. Such an interaction between cognition and communication, termed cognitive-communication, involves mental processes, such as attention, memory, problem-solving, reasoning, and other executive functions that mediate communication ( 1 ) . The development of these cognitive-communication skills is critical for an individual's daily life success, and its development begins as early as the preschool period.…”

Purpose To address the need for a standardized assessment tool for assessing cognitive-communication abilities among Indian preschoolers, the current study aimed at describing a Delphi based development and validation process for developing one such tool. The objectives of the research were to conceptualize and construct the tool, validate its content, and assess its feasibility through pilot testing. Methods The study followed a Delphi approach to develop and validate the tool across four phases i.e. conceptualization; construction; content validation; and pilot testing. The first three phases were performed with a panel of six experts including speech-language pathologists and preschool teachers while the pilot testing was done with 20 typically developing preschoolers. A literature review was also conducted with the Delphi rounds to support the developmental process. Results The first two rounds of the Delphi aided in the construction of a culturally and linguistically suitable story-based cognitive-communication assessment tool with the memory (free recall, recognition, and literary recall) and executive function (reasoning, inhibition, and switching) related tasks relevant for preschoolers. The content validation of the tool was continued with the experts till the revisions were satisfactory and yielded an optimum Content Validity Index. The pilot test of the finalized version confirmed its feasibility and appropriateness to assess developmental changes in the cognitive-communication abilities of preschoolers. Conclusion The study describes the Delphi-based conceptualization, construction, content validation, and feasibility check of a tool to assess cognitive-communication skills in preschool children.

“…Perceptions of resilience and the ability to thrive in adversity may be shaped by health locus of control. Physical health is also linked to mental well‐being (Mridula & George, 2021). According to Pourhoseinzadeh et al.…”

“…Those with chance health locus of control see health outcomes due to either other people or chance factors. Literature shows those who believe chance or external factors control health are less motivated for health behaviour modifications than those with internal health locus of control (Mridula & George, 2021).…”

This study aimed to assess the relationship between health locus control, resilience and self‐efficacy in older adults with psychiatric disorders. This study was conducted using a cross‐sectional design. Sample: A purposive sample of 291 older adults receiving psychiatric outpatient care at Alabbasya Hospital for Mental Health in Cairo was recruited for this study. The data were collected by the following tools: sociodemographic data sheet, the multidimensional health locus of control scale, the general self‐efficacy scale, the brief resilience scale and the general health questionnaire. The study participants reported low levels of health locus of control, low levels of self‐efficacy and normal levels of resilience. Furthermore, we found a strong positive correlation between resilience and general self‐efficacy. The study concluded that older people with psychiatric disorders reported low levels of health locus of control and self‐efficacy, while they experienced normal resilience levels. There was a strong positive correlation between resilience and general self‐efficacy among the study participants. The results of this study can guide healthcare professionals in developing tailored interventions and support programs to improve this population's quality of life and overall mental health outcomes.
