Structured interview assessment of nonclinical panic

Article Abstract:

The prevalence and nature of cued and uncued panic in college students were examined using Anxiety and Disorders Interview-Revised (ADIS-R). Previous assessments of panic and its relevant parameters have depended solely on questionnaires. Result comparisons showed that the interrater agreement of ADIS-R is high. However, ADIS-R approach showed a lower rate of uncued panic as compared to rates revealed by the questionnaire approach. The results suggest that majority of the nonclinical samples examined in previous studies provides an inadequate comparison group to clinical panic disorder patients.

Parallel reasoning in structured connectionist networks: signatures versus temporal synchrony

Article Abstract:

The temporal synchrony and signature approaches to reflexive reasoning share common characteristics that provide certain advantages over other connectionist solutions. An example is the ability to carry out dynamic binding and inferencing for constrained rule sets. Dynamic binding refers to the process of knowledge encoding and instantiating to derive suitable inferences. However, they also differ in that the temporal synchrony methodology places a restriction on the amount of dynamically bound entities.

Reply to Steer and Beck: panic disorder generalized anxiety disorder, and quantitative versus qualitative differences in anxiety assessment

Article Abstract:

Steer et al.'s assumption on the overlapping of symptoms exhibited by patients with panic disorder compared to patients with generalized anxiety disorders is erroneous. Steer et al. failed to consider the qualitative differences between panic disorder and generalized disorders. Furthermore, qualitative analysis of both disorders by utilizing the Beck Anxiety Inventory produced results that are distinct from the quantitative assessments of the psychological disorders.
