Publication year:
2006
| Cataloged on:
Jan. 12, 2007
ANNOTATION: The impact of neuropsychological factors on cognitive-behavioral based treatment (CBT) outcomes is investigated. This report is comprised of these sections: executive summary; abstract; study design and methods; Behavioral, Neuropsychological, and Psychological Test Battery; treatment program participation; statistical techniques; results; summary model; and conclusions. "Findings from this research suggest that inmates with deficits in cognitive functions under study, in particular lack of behavioral inhibition and inability to shift responses, impulsivity when selecting high risk choices, and cognitive inflexibility; were less likely to progress in this type of CBT treatment program and more likely to drop out early and commit infractions during treatment" (p. 24).
