Abstract Objective To investigate which brain activity frequency of electroencephalogram (EEG)-neurofeedback training (NFT) was the most effective for enhancing working memory (WM) and episodic (EM) in healthy participants through network meta-analysis (NMA). Methods Searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library studies published from January 1990 to 2025. We performed Bayesian NMA, pooling continuous outcome data using standardized mean difference effect size (ES). Global local evaluations inconsistency were conducted chi-square test, side-splitting, loop-specific approaches. A consistency model applied global approach showed no significance. Efficacy ranks determined surface under cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) each intervention. Publication bias assessed comparison-adjusted funnel plot Egger’s test. Finally, sensitivity analysis confirmed our findings’ robustness. Results Sixty included, comprising 50 trials on WM 24 EM. While significant (χ 2 (22) = 30.89, p 0.10) EM (10) 13.48, 0.19), exhibited between active control (AC) alpha combined with (WMT) (ES 6.64, < 0.001) WM, AC 0.84, 0.01) Alpha WMT (100%) NFT (87.0%) also highest efficacy according SUCRA.

This study evaluates the validity and measurement invariance of 8-item scales State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) across gender age. Originally developed by Spielberger (STAI-Y), these have been shortened to create more efficient versions without compromising psychometric robustness. A sample Italian young adults, aged between 18 36 years, completed abbreviated scales. The were assessed for internal consistency, convergent with Endler Multidimensional Scales (EMAS), results demonstrated excellent consistency significant correlations EMAS, supporting STAI-S-8 STAI-T-8. Both retained balanced factorial structures robust anxiety capabilities. Measurement was confirmed age, indicating scales' reliability assessment in adults regardless demographic differences. While findings underscore practical utility STAI rapid clinical research settings, limitations include absence a reliance on self-report measures, which may introduce biases. Future should populations explore cultural differences manifestation. Despite limitations, offer valid, reliable, tools measuring anxiety, implications timely interventions enhanced psychological assessment.
