Treating Children's Aggressive Behavior Problems Using Cognitive Behavior Therapy with Virtual Reality: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Alsem, Sophie C.; van Dijk, Anouk; Verhulp, Esmée E.; Dekkers, Tycho J.; De Castro, Bram O. – Child Development, 2023
This multicenter randomized controlled trial investigated whether interactive virtual reality enhanced effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reduce children's aggressive behavior problems. Boys with aggressive behavior problems (N = 115; M[subscript age] = 10.58, SD = 1.48; 95.7% born in Netherlands) were randomized into three…

Associations among Pubertal Development, Empathic Ability, and Neural Responses While Witnessing Peer Rejection in Adolescence
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Masten, Carrie L.; Eisenberger, Naomi I.; Pfeifer, Jennifer H.; Colich, Natalie L.; Dapretto, Mirella – Child Development, 2013
Links among concurrent and longitudinal changes in pubertal development and empathic ability from ages 10 to 13 and neural responses while witnessing peer rejection at age 13 were examined in 16 participants. More advanced pubertal development at age 13, and greater longitudinal increases in pubertal development, related to increased activity in…

Solving Bernstein's Problem: A Proposal for the Development of Coordinated Movement by Selection.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sporns, Olaf; Edelman, Gerald M. – Child Development, 1993
In the 1930s, Bernstein pointed out that more than one motor signal can trigger the same physical movement and that identical motor signals can lead to different movements, a dilemma that continues to puzzle scientists. Based on results from computer simulations, posits that these motor signals can be grouped into categories that correspond to…

Measuring Habituation in Infants: An Approach Using Regression Analysis.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ashmead, Daniel H.; Davis, DeFord L. – Child Development, 1996
Used computer simulations to examine effectiveness of different criteria for measuring infant visual habituation. Found that a criterion based on fitting a second-order polynomial regression function to looking-time data produced more accurate estimation of looking times and higher power for detecting novelty effects than did the traditional…
