191 Background: Breast cancer survivors (BCS) and their partners frequently report distress, including depressive symptoms after diagnosis and treatment for breast cancer. The Social Cognitive Processing Theory (SCPT) has been useful in identifying predictors of both BCS and partner distress, although most studies have occurred early in survivorship. Relationships between SCPT variables and depressive symptoms in long-term BCS and their partners have not been well explored. The purpose of this study is to test relationships between SCPT variables and depressive symptoms in long-term BCS and their partners. Methods: In a large cross-sectional study, BCS (N = 222), who were 3-8 years from diagnosis, and their partners completed a survey assessing demographic characteristics, social constraints, cognitive processing (intrusive thoughts and cognitive avoidance), and depressive symptoms. Mediation analyses were conducted for survivors and partners separately to determine if cognitive processing would mediate the relationship between social constraints and depressive symptoms. Results: Cognitive processing mediated the relationship between social constraints and depressive symptoms both for BCS [F(5,209) = 16.373, R2= .281, p < .001] and partners [F(4, 216) = 8.281, R2= .133, p < .001), controlling for age, education, and survivors’ time since diagnosis. Although included in the model, demographic variables did not significantly predict depressive symptoms. Conclusions: Relationships in the SCPT were confirmed; cognitive processing mediated the relationship between social constraints and depressive symptoms for both long-term BCS and their partners. Results expand the utility of the SCPT in long-term survivors and their partners by supporting its use in intervention design.

INTRODUCTION: In recent decades, there has been investigation into the effects of microgravity and microgravity-like environments on cognition and emotion separately. Here we highlight the need of focusing on emotion-cognition interactions as a framework for explaining cognitive performance in space. In particular, by referring to the affective cognition hypothesis, the significant interplay between emotional variables and cognitive processing in space is briefly analyzed. Altogether, this approach shows an interesting pattern of data pointing to a dynamic relation that may be sensitive to microgravity. The importance of examining interactions between emotion and cognition for space performance remains fundamental (e.g., stress-related disorders) and deserves further attention. This approach is ultimately interesting considering the potential effects that microgravity may play on human performance during long-term space missions and on return to Earth.Mammarella N.

Modality specific encoding habits account for a significant portion of individual differences reflected in functional activation during cognitive processing. Yet, little is known about how these habits of thought influence long-term structural changes in the brain. Traditionally, habits of thought have been assessed using self-report questionnaires such as the visualizer-verbalizer questionnaire. Here, rather than relying on subjective reports, we measured habits of thought using a novel behavioral task assessing attentional biases toward picture and word stimuli. Hypothesizing that verbal habits of thought are reflected in the structural integrity of white matter tracts and cortical regions of interest, we used diffusion tensor imaging and volumetric analyses to assess this prediction. Using a whole-brain approach, we show that word bias is associated with increased volume in several bilateral language regions, in both white and grey matter parcels. Additionally, connectivity within white matter tracts within an a priori speech production network increased as a function of word bias. These results demonstrate long-term structural and morphological differences associated with verbal habits of thought.
