Rico S.C. Lee,Rico S.C. Lee,Daniel F. Hermens,Melanie A. Porter,M. Antoinette Redoblado-Hodge +4 more
TL;DR: The current meta-analysis was the first to systematically demonstrate reduced neuropsychological functioning in first-episode Major Depressive Disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
The neuropsychological basis of hypersociability in Williams and Down syndrome.
TL;DR: Results from a battery of neuropsychological tasks suggested that abnormal social approach in WS and DS in everyday life is best explained by frontal lobe impairment, in particular, poor response inhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI
A meta-analysis of neuropsychological functioning in first-episode bipolar disorders
Rico S.C. Lee,Rico S.C. Lee,Daniel F. Hermens,Jan Scott,M. Antoinette Redoblado-Hodge,Sharon L. Naismith,Jim Lagopoulos,Kristi Griffiths,Melanie A. Porter,Ian B. Hickie +9 more
TL;DR: Overall, first-episode bipolar disorders are associated with widespread cognitive dysfunction, and euthymia was not associated with superior cognitive performance in most domains, indicating that even in the earliest stages of disease, cognitive deficits are not mood-state dependent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuropsychological and Socio-Occupational Functioning in Young Psychiatric Outpatients: A Longitudinal Investigation
Rico S.C. Lee,Rico S.C. Lee,Daniel F. Hermens,M. Antoinette Redoblado-Hodge,Sharon L. Naismith,Melanie A. Porter,Manreena Kaur,Django White,Elizabeth M. Scott,Ian B. Hickie +9 more
TL;DR: Neuropsychological functioning was the single best predictor of later socio-occupational outcome among young psychiatric outpatients, likely to be more useful in predicting functional trajectory than traditional symptom-based classification systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive heterogeneity in Williams syndrome.
Melanie A. Porter,Max Coltheart +1 more
TL;DR: This study addressed the widespread claims of a characteristic "WS cognitive profile" by looking for heterogeneity rather than homogeneity by using the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Ability-Revised to investigate a wide range of cognitive abilities in people with Williams syndrome.
