How and why children change in aggression and delinquency from childhood to adolescence: moderation of overreactive parenting by child personalityEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Parents of children who are less extraverted, benevolent and conscientious, or more imaginative, are in particular need of being supported in developing and maintaining effective disciplinary techniques. (Source: Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry)

Performance variability, impulsivity errors and the impact of incentives as gender-independent endophenotypes for ADHDEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Reaction-time variability and accuracy parameters could be useful neuropsychological endophenotypes for ADHD. Performance-modulating effects of incentives suggested a familially driven motivational dysfunction which may play an important role on etiologic pathways and treatment approaches for ADHD. The effects of gender were independent of familial effects or ADHD-status, which in turn suggests that the proposed endophenotypes are independent of gender.

Research Review: Cholinergic mechanisms, early brain development, and risk for schizophreniaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The onset of diagnostic symptomology for neuropsychiatric diseases is often the end result of a decades-long process of aberrant brain development. Identification of novel treatment strategies aimed at normalizing early brain development and preventing mental illness should be a major therapeutic goal. However, there are few models for how this goal might be achieved. This review uses the development of a psychophysiological correlate of attentional deficits in schizophrenia to propose a developmental model with translational primary prevention implications. Review of genetic and neurobiological studies suggests that an ea...

Visual attention in autism families: 'unaffected' sibs share atypical frontal activationEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: These results establish a neurophysiological correlate of familial susceptibility to ASC, and suggest that whilst abnormal time courses of frontal activation may reflect processes permissive of autistic brain development, abnormal patterns of functional correlation across a wider array of brain regions may relate more closely to autism's determinants.

Practitioner Review: Non-pharmacological treatments for ADHD: A lifespan approachEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Current research has largely ignored that ADHD is a developmental disorder that spans the preschool to adult years. Most studies focus on young school-age children and outside of this age group there is a dearth of controlled trials that provide conclusive evidence. As children mature the mode and agent of intervention will shift to reflect the developmental needs and circumstances of the individual. (Source: Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry)

Vocabulary knowledge is a critical determinant of the difference in reading comprehension growth between first and second language learnersEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Vocabulary appears to be a critical predictor of the early development of reading comprehension skills in both L1 and L2 learners. The limitations in vocabulary skills in the L2 learners seemed sufficient to explain their lag in developing reading comprehension skills, and this suggests that oral vocabulary training should be given a high priority in this group.

Research Review: 'Ain't misbehavin': Towards a developmentally-specified nosology for preschool disruptive behaviorEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
There is increasing consensus that disruptive behavior disorders and syndromes (DBDs) are identifiable in preschool children. There is also concomitant recognition of the limitations of the current DBD nosology for distinguishing disruptive behavior symptoms from the normative misbehavior of early childhood. In particular, there appears to be substantial insensitivity to heterotypic manifestations of this developmental period and problems in identifying meaningful heterogeneity. As a result, the developmental basis for much of the current nosology may be called into question. To address these and other critical issues, thi...

In this study, we evaluate the correspondence between two widely used measures of emotion dysregulation that cut across self-report and physiological levels of analysis.

Conclusions: The effect of area on child psychopathology operated via the socioeconomic characteristics of the child's family, not just the adverse characteristics of the neighbors. Multiple family risk predicted child psychopathology directly and independently, and not because it was associated with family socioeconomic status. Family socioeconomic status explained the association between area risk and broad psychopathology. (Source: Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry)

Improving the parent[ndash]child relationship by using strategies based on social learning theory has become the cornerstone for the treatment of conduct problems in children. Over the past 40 years, interventions have expanded greatly from small, experimental procedures to substantial, systematic programmes that provide clear guidelines in detailed manuals on how practitioners should implement the standardised treatments. They are now widely disseminated and there is a great deal of empirical support that they are very effective for the majority of cases. However, evaluations of even the best of these evidence-based progr...

Deficits in interval timing measured by the dual-task paradigm among children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorderEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Significantly increased estimation errors in ADHD with increased task difficulties suggest that impaired timing processing in children and adolescents with ADHD during long time intervals may be accounted for by the limited attentional capacity rather than a primary problem in timing per se.

Conclusions: Despite discrepancies between maternal and teacher reports, these results provide further evidence that maternal pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity are associated with child inattention symptoms and extend previous work by establishing a link between obesity and emotional difficulties. Maternal adiposity at the time of conception may be instrumental in programming child mental health, as prenatal brain development depends on maternal energy supply. Possible mechanisms include disturbed maternal metabolic function. If maternal pre-pregnancy obesity is a causal risk factor, the potential for prevention is grea...
