The study aimed to further examine the interplay of error processing and rumination in long-term prediction of internalizing symptoms, such as depressive and anxiety symptoms, in young adolescents. With adolescents with sensitivity to errors and high rumination, there are a significant prediction to depressive symptoms 12 months later, but this relationship was not seen in those who ruminated but were not error sensitive.

The study aimed to determine whether RF‑CBT changes brain activation during induced rumination and whether the task itself shows stable neural responses over time. RF‑CBT led to increased activation in rumination‑related regions. RF‑CBT appears to change how the brain processes rumination. After therapy, adolescents showed increased activation in regions involved in rumination, memory, and meaning‑making.

This publication looks at the relationship between a caregiver rumination, co-rumination, and how these may affect a caregiver’s views on their child’s psychopathology of interferes with their child’s treatment for their psychopathology. After looking at over 70 adolescents in RF-CBT or in treatment-as-usual, results indicate that caregiver-child co-rumination and caregiver rumination does not bias caregivers’ views of their child’s depression symptoms.
