Eileen F. Sullivan; Ran Wei; Shahria Kakon; Talat Shama; Fahmida Tofail; William A. Petri; Rashidul Haque; Charles A. Nelson III – Child Development, 2025
Identifying the neural processes that underlie the association between children's early adverse experiences and cognitive development could inform more effective intervention strategies. The goal of the current study (data collected 2015-2021) was to examine relations among early experiences at 6 months, electroencephalography (EEG) theta power at…

Ingrid Forsler; Carina Guyard – Learning, Media and Technology, 2025
Contemporary education in Sweden is characterized by two parallel processes: the implementation of digital tools in the classroom, on the one hand, and an increased emphasis on brain-based learning, on the other. Proponents of the latter strand of 'neuroeducation' claim that digital media might have harmful effects on learning and cognitive…

Butler, Christopher W.; Keiser, Ashley A.; Kwapis, Janine L.; Berchtold, Nicole C.; Wall, Vanessa L.; Wood, Marcelo A.; Cotman, Carl W. – Learning & Memory, 2019
The beneficial effects of exercise on cognition are well established; however specific exercise parameters regarding the frequency and duration of physical activity that provide optimal cognitive health have not been well defined. Here, we explore the effects of the duration of exercise and sedentary periods on long-term object location memory…

Constable, Paul A.; Ritvo, Edward R.; Ritvo, Ariella R.; Lee, Irene O.; McNair, Morgan L.; Stahl, Dylan; Sowden, Jane; Quinn, Stephen; Skuse, David H.; Thompson, Dorothy A.; McPartland, James C. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Light-adapted (LA) electroretinograms (ERGs) from 90 individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), mean age (13.0 ± 4.2), were compared to 87 control subjects, mean age (13.8 ± 4.8). LA-ERGs were produced by a random series of nine different Troland based, full-field flash strengths and the ISCEV standard flash at 2/s on a 30 cd m[superscript…

Wade, Mark; Parsons, Jill; Humphreys, Kathryn L.; McLaughlin, Katie A.; Sheridan, Margaret A.; Zeanah, Charles H.; Nelson, Charles A.; Fox, Nathan A. – Child Development Perspectives, 2022
Over the last 20 years, we have learned much about the extent to which early-life deprivation affects the mental health of children and adolescents. This body of evidence comes predominantly from studies of children raised in institutional care. The Bucharest Early Intervention Project (BEIP) is the only randomized controlled trial designed to…

Homer, Bruce D.; Ober, Teresa M.; Rose, Maya C.; MacNamara, Andrew; Mayer, Richard E.; Plass, Jan L. – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2019
Adolescence is a period of rapid cognitive change, including an initial increase in speed of cognitive processing and a more gradual increase in efficiency of cognitive processing. This study examined how neurophysiological changes associated with adolescent development can inform the design of game-based executive function (EF) training. Two…

Wilson, Donna; Conyers, Marcus – Teachers College Press, 2020
This is the second edition of the seminal text designed to empower educators with an innovative and inspiring conceptual framework for effective teaching. This bestseller is grounded in the synergy of five big ideas for connecting mind, brain, and education research to classroom practice: neuroplasticity, potential, malleable intelligence, the…

Di Rosa, Gabriella; Pironti, Erica; Cucinotta, Francesca; Alibrandi, Angela; Gagliano, Antonella – Infant and Child Development, 2019
Temporal differences of neurodevelopmental milestones' achievement are commonly taken into account in preterm infant assessment during the first year of life, especially when minor or none neurological signs arise from clinical examination. The influence of gender on neurodevelopment in preterm infants was examined by a milestones-based…

Mundy, Peter C. – Guilford Press, 2016
From a preeminent researcher, this book looks at the key role of joint attention in both typical and atypical development. Peter C. Mundy shows that no other symptom dimension is more strongly linked to early identification and treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). He synthesizes a wealth of knowledge on how joint attention develops, its…

Pakulak, Eric; Hampton Wray, Amanda; Longoria, Zayra; Garcia Isaza, Alejandra; Stevens, Courtney; Bell, Theodore; Burlingame, Sarah; Klein, Scott; Berlinski, Samuel; Attanasio, Orazio; Neville, Helen – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2017
The relationship between early adversity and numerous negative outcomes across the lifespan is evident in a wide range of societies and cultures (e.g., Pakulak, Stevens, & Neville, 2018). Among the most affected neural systems are those supporting attention, self-regulation, and stress regulation. As such, these systems represent targets for…

Swingler, Margaret M.; Perry, Nicole B.; Calkins, Susan D.; Bell, Martha Ann – Developmental Psychology, 2017
We apply a biopsychosocial conceptualization to attention development in the 1st year and examine the role of neurophysiological and social processes on the development of early attention processes. We tested whether maternal behavior measured during 2 mother-child interaction tasks when infants (N = 388) were 5 months predicted infant medial…

Barona, Manuela; Taborelli, Emma; Corfield, Freya; Pawlby, Susan; Easter, Abigail; Schmidt, Ulrike; Treasure, Janet; Micali, Nadia – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2017
Introduction: Although recent research has focused on the effects of maternal eating disorders (EDs) on children, little is known about the effect of maternal EDs on neurobiological outcomes in newborns and infants. This study is the first to investigate neurobehavioural regulation and cognitive development in newborns and infants of mothers with…

Berardi, Anna; Morton, Brenda M. – Journal of At-Risk Issues, 2017
Children in foster care have experienced significant trauma due to the loss of primary attachment figures and the circumstances associated with that loss. Children who have suffered trauma generally present with cognitive, social, physical, and emotional vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities are often expressed in the P-12 academic setting…
