Ozlem Saritas Nakip; Selman Kesici; Gokcen Duzgun Konuskan; Mutlu Uysal Yazici; Bahadir Konuskan; Benan Bayrakci – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2024
Extracorporeal life support, such as pediatric cardiac extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), is associated with significant mortality and morbidity risk. This study evaluated cardiac ECMO survivors with central cannulation and found that 51.1% were discharged from the hospital. The study also revealed high rates of developmental delay…

Sella, Enrico; Bolognesi, Monica; Bergamini, Emma; Mason, Lucia; Pazzaglia, Francesca – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
Forest school is a form of outdoor learning that takes children into regular and repeated learning experiences in natural settings. Being based on a comprehensive experience with nature, it is assumed to be beneficial for learning and to promote restorative effects on cognitive and emotional function in preschool children. This review aimed to…

Babik, Iryna; Galloway, James Cole; Lobo, Michele A. – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Early exploratory behaviors have been proposed to facilitate children's learning, impacting motor, cognitive, language, and social development. This study related the performance of behaviors used to explore oneself to behaviors used to explore objects, and then related both types of exploratory behaviors to motor, language, and cognitive measures…

Jaysveree Louw; Heidi Claassens – Journal of Education and Learning, 2025
This theoretical article examines the crucial role of play-based learning (PBL) in enhancing the mathematical skills of children in the Early Childhood Phase, referred to as Foundation Phase (Grade R-3) learners, within a South African context. The article argues that the traditional approach to teaching early childhood mathematics, where teachers…

Nagy, Beáta Erika; Gáll, József Mihály; Szele, Anna Szabina – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
The aim of our study is to describe the neuromotor development of preterm and low birth weight infants at 1 and 2 years of corrected age, and to examine the extent to which perinatal, neonatal, socio-demographic, and neuromotor development indices measured at the age of 1 are able to predict infants' development indices at the age of 2. Our sample…

Salah El-Din, Ahmed; Yahia, Sohier; Zeid, Mayada Sabry; El-Hadidy, Mohamed Adel; Wahba, Yahya – Journal of Mental Health Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2022
Introduction: Down Syndrome (DS) is a common cause of intellectual disability with a possible glial-neuronal disruption. We assessed the effects of Cerebrolysin on the neurodevelopmental outcomes of infants with DS. Methods: This randomized controlled pilot trial included 64 infants with DS. They were allocated into a treatment group (n=32) who…

Pei-Jung Wang; Hua-Fang Liao; Li-Chiou Chen; Lin-Ju Kang; Lu Lu; Karen Caplovitz Barrett – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2024
Motivation is a key factor for child development, but very few studies have examined child and family predictors of both child task and perceived motivation. Thus, the three aims of this 6-month longitudinal study in preschoolers with global developmental delays (GDD) were to explore: 1) differences between task and perceived motivation in…

Moron, Victória Branca; Barbosa, Débora Nice Ferrari; Sanfelice, Gustavo Roese; Barbosa, Jorge Luis Victória; Leithardt, Daiana R. F.; Leithardt, Valderi Reis Quietinho – Education Sciences, 2022
Studies show that executive functions and motor development are associated with each other and with learning ability. A more technological lifestyle combined with digital culture should be considered a viable alternative to stimulate children's development. Therefore, this study aimed to present a systematic mapping of the literature involving…

Gul, Showkeen Bilal Ahmad – Online Submission, 2023
Education is a lifelong endeavour that starts in the womb and lasts until death. It helps the individual to develop full potential by allowing to control the environment of his/her own successful life and living. The foundation of education begins in one's very early childhood and lays the foundation for later stages of educational progression.…

González, Meliza; Loose, Tianna; Liz, Maite; Pérez, Mónica; Rodríguez-Vinçon, Juan I.; Tomás-Llerena, Clementina; Vásquez-Echeverría, Alejandro – Child Development, 2022
The COVID-19 context has created the most severe disruption to education systems in recent history. Its impact on child development was estimated comparing two cohorts of 4- to 6-year-old Uruguayan children: control (n = 34,355, 48.87% girls) and COVID cohort (n = 30,158, 48.95% girls) assessed between 2018 and 2020 in three waves, by a routinely…

Aims: Children with neuromotor delays are at risk for reaching and object exploration impairments, which may negatively affect their cognitive development and daily activity performance. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the Sitting Together And Reaching To Play (START-Play) intervention on reaching-related exploratory behaviors in…

Ferreira, Rachel de Carvalho; Alves, Claudia Regina Lindgren; Magalhães, Lívia de Castro – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
The aim was to evaluate the effects of a family-focused early intervention programme on the cognitive, motor, and language development of infants exposed to social and biological risks in the first year of life. Quasi-experimental randomized controlled trial (RBR-6ct969), with intervention (IG; n = 72) and control (CG; n = 170) groups. IG mothers…

Sabri, Nur 'Amirah 'Inani; Gan, Wan Ying; Law, Leh Shii; Chin, Yit Siew; Mohd Shariff, Zalilah – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
The development of cognitive and motor skills early in life is essential for a child's global development and learning, which in turn influences later health and well-being. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the associations between sociodemographic factors and nutritional factors with cognitive and motor delays in infants aged 6-12…

Achermann, Sheila; Nyström, Pär; Bölte, Sven; Falck-Ytter, Terje – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Atypical motor development has frequently been reported in infants at elevated likelihood for autism spectrum disorder. However, no previous study has used detailed motion capture technology to compare infant siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder and infant siblings with no familial history of autism spectrum disorder. We investigated…
