Children with autism spectrum disorder are prescribed various medications to address behavior and mood. In clinical trials, individuals taking concomitant psychotropic medications often are excluded to maintain homogeneity and prevent contamination of clinical endpoints. However, this choice may compromise the representativeness of the sample. In…

Lopez-Espejo, Mauricio A.; Nuñez, Alicia C.; Ruz, Melanie; Saez, Valentina; Moscoso, Odalie C.; Escobar, Raul G. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
This study examined the agreement of perceived health-related quality of life (HRQOL) between caregivers and autistic children and adolescents (n = 133, 5-12 years) using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Generic Core Scales, Fourth Edition (PedsQL 4.0). Results reveal good to excellent agreement over this age range across the total,…

Dhaliwal, Khushmol K.; Avedzi, Hayford M.; Richard, Caroline; Zwaigenbaum, Lonnie; Haqq, Andrea M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
We examined the relationship between weight status, appetite regulating hormones, and mealtime behaviors among children, (5-12 years old), diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in a cross-sectional study. All (N = 21) completed anthropometry measurements and (n = 18) provided blood samples for hormone analysis. Mealtime behavior, dietary,…

Danis, Eliane; Nader, Anne-Marie; Degré-Pelletier, Janie; Soulières, Isabelle – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
In light of the known visuoperceptual strengths and altered language skills in autism, we investigated the impact of problem content (semantic/visuospatial) combined with complexity and presence of lures on fluid reasoning in 43 autistic and 41 typical children (6-13 years old). Increased complexity and presence of lures diminished performance,…

This study was conducted to determine how total fundamental movement skill (FMS) score and, separately, locomotor skill (LMS), and object control skill scores in children 3-8 years old predicted their specific-intensity physical activity 3 years later. Overall, 441 Finnish children (51.7% female, baseline mean age of 5.6 years) participated in the…

Gercek, Nejla; Tatar, Yasar; Uzun, Selda – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2022
Aim: Sport activities can increase the number of motor tasks performed by children with disabilities, helping to motivate these children to sustain life-long exercise. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of virtual and traditional golf training on balance, muscle strength, lower extremity flexibility and aerobic endurance in…

Greenway, Charlotte W.; Robinson, Ammanys H.; King, Janice M. – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
The present study examined the attitudes and behavioral intentions of 336 children aged 7-11 toward a hypothetical peer with symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to determine whether they were influenced by labeling, social devaluation, or familiarity. Children read one of five vignettes describing the behavior of a…

The specific role of the corpus callosum (CC) in language network organization remains unclear, two contrasting models have been proposed: inhibition of homotopic areas allowing for independent functioning of the hemispheres versus integration of information from both hemispheres. This study aimed to add to this discussion with the first…

Personality Predicts Innovation and Social Learning in Children: Implications for Cultural Evolution
Rawlings, Bruce S.; Flynn, Emma G.; Kendal, Rachel L. – Developmental Science, 2022
Innovation and social learning are the pillars of cultural evolution, allowing cultural behaviours to cumulatively advance over generations. Yet, little is known about individual differences in the use of social and asocial information. We examined whether personality influenced 7-11-year-old children's (N = 282) propensity to elect to observe…
