Article Abstract
Changes in psychological flexibility were tracked in a combined protocol of exposure and response prevention (ERP) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for adults with OCD to assess if changes in psychological flexibility processes were unique to ACT intervention (e.g., not impacted by ERP). Using a nonconcurrent multiple baseline design, four participants received sessions of ERP and ACT while data was collected on psychological flexibility processes of change and OCD symptom severity. Results indicate treatment response for three of four participants based on OCD scores. Contrary to predictions, data suggest both ERP and ACT have positive effects on psychological flexibility. Implications of these findings are discussed in relation to recent research on ACT and ERP for OCD. This study also illustrates a type of research design that can be accomplished in clinical practice.

Bridging the gap: the impact of parental education and child leisure activities on cognitive and socioemotional skills in preschoolers.

Family socioeconomic status is broadly acknowledged to be associated with child development and wellbeing. However, the extent of this association across various dimensions of child development remains a topic of ongoing debate. This study aims to investigate the relationship between parental education and child cognitive and socioemotional skills, as well as the mediating role of children's leisure time activities, including screen time and shared book reading.

Introduction: Psychological stress has been proposed as a trigger for disease activity in multiple sclerosis (MS), but findings have been inconsistent. While prior research has focused largely on chronic stressors, little is known about how people with MS (pwMS) cope with acute, large-scale stress events such as war.
Objective: Examine the effects of wartime stress following the October 7, 2023 attack on disease activity in pwMS, and to assess whether emotional factors are associated with relapse risk during this period.

Background: End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) significantly impacts global public health, driven by an ageing population and increased chronic diseases. Over half of patients with ESKD are now over 65 years old, often with multiple comorbidities, complicating management and prognosis. The socioeconomic impact is considerable, and patients with ESKD face higher cancer risks.

Learning when to initiate or withhold actions is essential for survival, requiring the integration of past experiences with new information to adapt to changing environments. The prelimbic cortex (PL) plays a central role in this process, with a stable PL neuronal population (ensemble) recruited during operant reward learning to encode response execution. However, it is unknown how this established reward-learning ensemble adapts to changing reward contingencies, such as reward omission during extinction.

Previous studies suggested that acute stress can impair flexible goal-directed action control in favor of habitual action control. In addition, there is evidence that acute stress differentially affects the processing of rewards and punishments. Therefore, we aimed at investigating whether acute stress affects the balance between goal-directed and habitual behavior not only for behavior aiming at reward but also for behavior motivated by avoiding punishments.
