Developmental Differences in Cognitive Restructuring Skill Acquisition across the Lifespan: Age Differences between Children, Adults and Older Adults, and the Role of Cognitive Flexibility - Cognitive Therapy and Research Purpose Replacing irrational or unhelpful thoughts with more rationale and helpful ones is a core skill in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, but there is limited research examining the neuropsychological mechanisms underpinning this process. This study examined age-differences in cognitive restructuring skill acquisition between children, younger adults and older adults; whether individual differences in cognitive flexibility influences the ability to learn cognitive restructuring across the lifespan; and whether cognitive flexibility explains age-differences in cognitive restructuring ability. Method Participants were 114 individuals with anxiety disorders, including 35 children (aged 7–12, M = 9.14, SD = 1.44), 32 younger adults (aged 18–53, M = 23, SD = 7.84) and 47 older adults (aged 61–78, M = 66.81, SD = 4.43). Participants completed neuropsychological measures of cognitive flexibility and learned cognitive restructuring, which was coded for quality and efficacy. Results More than half the participants of all ages showed good quality cognitive restructuring skill acquisition with only brief instruction. Older adults showed comparable cognitive restructuring skills to children, with slightly better skills among younger adults. However, after accounting for individual differences in cognitive flexibility, there were no age-differences in cognitive restructuring quality. Greater perseveration was associated with poorer cognitive restructuring skill acquisition in younger and older adults, and mediated age-differences in cognitive restructuring skill acquisition. Conclusions Among younger and older adults, individual differences in perseveration, rather than chronological age, underpins the ability to learn cognitive restructuring. There is little evidence that cognitive flexibility plays a role in cognitive restructuring skill acquisition among children.

🚨 New paper: You can teach an old (person) new therapy tricks. More than half of children, younger and older adults showed good cognitive restructuring skills. Individual differences in cognitive flexibility (perseveration) predicts skill, not age. bit.ly/3IARYx2 #CBT #ClinPsy #MentalHealth

What’s the most effective way to deliver exposure therapy for anxiety? We tested:
🔹 Behavioural experiments (BE)
🔹 Cognitive restructuring before exposure
🔹 Habituation-based approaches

BE had the best outcomes.

🧠 How do you implement exposure?

#edpsychs #clinpsy new qualified colleagues. I wish there was a way all your thesis were available as a list to pick from. I kept asking about this at uni last year.

I really want to read what you found out. Your research is amazingly inspiring and so pertinent to moving our field forward.

Looking for a reference - does anyone know of any large, recent studies describing age trends in depression & anxiety in childhood and adolescence ideally separated by gender? Longitudinal or cross-sectional.
