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…

M4 Workshop 2 on Item Response Theory starts today. Three more Thursdays to go: Oct 15, 22, 29. Free and grant-funded. #ItemResponseTheory #Psychometrics #ResearchTraining Still open: northwestern.az1.qualtrics.c…

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…

What best separates profiles of MCI and dementia? Cohen et al. (2025) ran latent profile analysis on multi-domain NIH Toolbox data. The profiles differed most in social and emotional functioning. #NIHToolbox #WorldAlzheimersMonth #Dementia pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/article…

Test spotlight for #WorldAlzheimersDay: Rey Auditory Verbal Learning. 15 words, three learning trials, then a surprise recall 5 to 25 minutes later. Part of NIH Toolbox V3 for ages 5 and up. Delayed recall is often where memory change shows first. #NIHToolbox #Neuropsychology
