The Development of Regulatory Functions from Birth to 5 Years: Insights from Premature Infants
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Feldman, Ruth – Child Development, 2009
This study examined physiological, emotional, and attentional regulatory functions as predictors of self-regulation in 125 infants followed 7 times from birth to 5 years. Physiological regulation was assessed by neonatal vagal tone and sleep-wake cyclicity; emotion regulation by response to stress at 3, 6, and 12 months; and attention regulation…

Experience and Brain Development.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Greenough, William T.; And Others – Child Development, 1987
The role of experience in the developing brain is considered. A categorization scheme based upon the type of information stored and the brain mechanisms involved in storing the information is proposed. Experience-expectant and experience-dependent information storage are differentiated. (BN)

Development of Cortical Circuitry and Cognitive Function.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Goldman-Rakic, Patricia S. – Child Development, 1987
Recent studies on the biological development of the prefrontal cortex in rhesus monkeys are reviewed. These studies have elucidated the basic neural circuitry underlying the delayed-response function in adult nonhuman primates and suggest that a critical mass of cortical synapses is important for the emergence of this cognitive function.

Relations between Brain and Cognitive Development.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fischer, Kurt W. – Child Development, 1987
The developmental pattern of concurrent synaptogenesis in rhesus monkeys is consistent with a straightforward model of relations between brain and cognitive development. Concurrent synaptogenesis is hypothesized to lay the primary cortical foundation for a series of developmental levels in middle infancy that have been empirically documented in…

EEG Patterns of Preterm Infants, Home Environment, and Later IQ.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Beckwith, Leila; Parmelee, Arthur H. Jr. – Child Development, 1986
Studied the sleep state organization and EEG patterns at term date in 53 preterm infants as an index of the maturity and integrity of neurophysiological organization that may have implications for their later development. (HOD)

Cognitive and Neuropsychological Test Performance of Persons with Abnormalities of Adolescent Development: A Test of Waber's Hypothesis.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rovet, Joanne – Child Development, 1983
A total of 20 children with idiopathic precocious puberty; 27 adolescents with clinically delayed puberty; and an equivalent number of controls matched for sex, age, and IQ were given a battery of tests including measures of verbal and spatial abilities and a task using a dichotic listening procedure to assess hemispheric lateralization.…

Analysis of Cry Features in Newborns with Differential Fetal Growth.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Zeskind, Philip Sanford; Ramey, Craig T. – Child Development, 1981
Describes the relationship between neonatal crying and anthropometric indices of fetal growth. No differences were found between cry features of underweight and overweight infants; both groups required more stimulation than average weight infants to elicit crying. It is suggested that certain cry features may reflect the risk status of neonates…
