Barrett, Paula M.; Farrell, Lara; Pina, Armando A.; Peris, Tara S.; Piacentini, John – Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, 2008
Child and adolescent obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a chronic and debilitating condition associated with a wide range of impairments. This article briefly discusses the phenomenology of OCD, the theory underlying current treatment approaches, and the extant psychosocial treatment literature for child and adolescent OCD relative to the…

Mistry, Jayanthi J.; Lange, Garrett W. – Child Development, 1985
When 60 five-year-old and 48 10-year-old children heard three stories, each containing three target objects from each of three taxonomic categories, younger children received greater benefit than older children from strongly scripted story presentations and from constrained category-cue and script-cue retrieval conditions. Cues and the extent to…

Rabinowitz, Mitchell – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1984
Assesses children's recall performance using three memory instructions: standard free recall, repetition, and categorical processing. Recall performance was about equal for standard versus repetition and superior when category processing is used, especially with highly representative items. Concludes that at both 7 years and 10 years the…

Smith, J. David; Nelson, Deborah G. Kemler – Child Development, 1988
This study contrasted two possible relations between reflection-impulsivity and analytic or holistic modes of processing. Although impulsive children were more holistic in the classification task, they made more errors than reflectives on matching tests, regardless of whether the content favored holistic processing.

Ferretti, Ralph P.; Butterfield, Earl C. – Child Development, 1986
A total of 61 children from first through sixth grades participated in four balance-scale and four inclined-plane problem types in a study testing for invariance of subject classifications as rule-users across problems whose products differed but whose type did not. Results indicated that many children's classifications differed across…

Richards, Stephen; Sternberg, Les – Education and Training in Mental Retardation, 1993
An investigation was conducted of the displayed biobehavioral states of 5 students (ages 8-20) with profound mental retardation. Results indicated that state level can be reliably specified and that overall state characteristics can be used to classify subjects according to profile groups. (Author/JDD)

Halford, Graeme S. – 1982
Concepts important to cognitive development in children can be classified according to several levels. At level 1, concepts are equivalent in structural complexity to binary relations and univariate functions. At level 2, concepts are equivalent to compositions of binary relations, binary operations, and bivariate functions. At level 3, concepts…

Dodge, Kenneth A.; And Others – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1985
Generated a taxonomy of situations most likley to lead deviant children to experience social difficulties. Study 1 administered a survey to teachers of rejected (N=45) and adaptive (N=39) children. Found six main situation types. Study 2 tested 15 items within the six situations. The items differentiated the two groups. (BH)

Dent, Cathy H. – Child Development, 1984
Investigates the perceptual basis of metaphor by asking 5-, 7-, and 10-year-old children and adults to pair and discuss films of natural objects, both stationary and moving. Concludes that motion information makes metaphoric similarity relatively easy to perceive and influences the form of descriptive metaphors. (Author/CB)

Matazow, Gail S.; Hynd, George W. – 1992
This study examined whether children (ages 6-16) diagnosed as having attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity (ADD/H) could be differentiated from those diagnosed as having attention deficit disorder without hyperactivity (ADD/WO), on an anterior-posterior gradient paradigm. It was predicted that ADD/H children (N=23) would have more deficits…

Flynn, Jane M.; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1992
The construct validity of Boder's typology of dyslexia was investigated using quantified electroencephalography with 39 children (ages 7-11) during a reading task and at rest. Results supported beta frequency differences in anticipated regions by dyslexia subtype during the reading task. However, the direction of difference hypothesis was not…

Oetting, Janna B.; McDonald, Janet L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2002
This study compared three methods for identifying non-mainstream dialect use: listener judgment ratings, type-based counts of non-mainstream pattern use, token- based counts. Correct dialect classifications were made for 88 to 97 percent of participants, although regression algorithms had to be applied to the type- and token-based results. For…

Pearce, Kathy A.; Denney, Nancy Wadsworth – 1983
Previous research in classification preference has focused on only a few selected age groups. To investigate the classification preferences of individuals from early childhood through old age in the same study, 144 individuals between the ages of 4 and 70 completed a revised version of the Conceptual Styles Test. Analysis of results showed that…

Howard, Lawrence – 1985
The way cognitive, event-related brain potentials (ERPs) can aid in further understanding of memory span change in children is discussed. ERPs are time-dependent changes in electrical activity of the brain (as recorded by scalp electrodes) following the presentation of a physical stimulus through auditory, visual, or somatosensory modalities. The…

Ferretti, Ralph P.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1985
Applies to the inclined-plane task Siegler's (1981) observation that performance on Piagetian tasks is governed by similar rule structures. Also replicates Siegler's original observations about the development on the balance-scale task and determines the consistency in children's rule usage across tasks. (Author/AS)
