EVALUATION OF ORAL BEHAVIOR IN A GROUP OF PATIENTS WITH SELF-REPORTED SLEEP BRUXISM by Steliana Gabriela Buștiuc, Gheorghe Raftu, Raluca Briceag, Elena Claudia Sin, Mihaela Macrina Manolache, Cristina Nucă, Salim Camer, Aureliana Caraiane

“…A fairly high percentage was recorded for scores that fell within the range considered to be a risk factor for the occurrence of TMD (25-62). All these findings lead to the strengthening of the idea that intercepting an increased frequency of oral behaviors in patients with SB can lead to the identification of those patients who could develop TMD over time, with the dentist having the role of providing TMD prevention in this context.…”

The Effect of Task Cognitive Difficulty on Perceptual-Cognitive Indicators: Evidence on the Relationship Between Challenge Point Framework (CPF) and Cognitive Development in Table... by Taghi MM, Aghdaei M, Farsi A, Badicu G, de Sousa Fernandes MS, Yagin FH, Ardigò LP

“…Pre- and post-test comparisons were made to evaluate changes in cognitive-perceptual performance.Results: Post-test results showed improvements in executive control of attention and cognitive effort across all groups. But there was no significant difference between the groups.Discussion: These findings suggest that cognitive task difficulty, much like functional difficulty, aligns with predictions from the CPF, enhancing executive control and cognitive effort, and thereby supporting motor learning.Conclusion: Cognitive difficulty, like functional difficulty, takes advantage of the challenge point framework and improves cognitive–cognitive indicators.Keywords: task difficulty, attention networks, cognitive effort, challenge point, table tennis…”
