Understanding the neurobiological mechanisms involved in psychopathology has been hindered by the limitations of categorical nosologies. The Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) is an alternative dimensional system for characterizing psychopathology, derived from quantitative studies of covariation among diagnoses and symptoms. HiTOP pr...

Understanding the neurobiological systems involved in psychopathology has been hindered by the limitations of categorical nosologies, spurring the development of alternative dimensional systems for characterizing psychopathology. The Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) is one such system, derived from quantitative studies of covariatio...

Episodic memory enables novel inferences that bridge across experiences. A goal of memory science is to understand the factors that give rise to individual and group differences in memory-dependent cognition. In two experiments, we examined associative inference performance in young and older adults and how differences in sustained attention relate...

Affect describes any feelings, emotions, or moods that a person experiences and is generally divided into two broad dimensions—positive affect and negative affect. The most widely used measure of affect, the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), has recently been translated to Arabic (see Appendix), yet the psychometric equivalence of this...

There has been an increasing interest in neurobiological correlates of psychopathology with a growing consensus that such research questions are best investigated through dimensional approaches to psychopathology. One area that has been noticeably understudied in this regard is eating pathology. Therefore, the goal of the current systematic review...

Few studies have differentiated the specificity from the generality of the associations between parental involvement and adolescent behavioral problems across levels of the psychopathology hierarchy. Among 537 adolescents aged 11–17 years, the current study considered the extent to which associations between mother- and father- involvement and beha...

There has been considerable focus on investigating age-related memory changes in cognitively healthy older adults, in the absence of neurodegenerative disorders. Previous studies have reported age-related domain-specific changes in older adults, showing increased difficulty encoding and processing object information but minimal to no impairment in...

A robust literature demonstrates that psychopathology and personality pathology are well-represented within quantitatively-derived, hierarchical dimensional models. Nevertheless, the location of core traits comprising psychopathic personality (psychopathy) as defined by the triarchic model has not been clearly explicated. We extended hierarchical s...
