Pablo Maceira-Elvira; Traian Popa; Anne-Christine Schmid; Andéol Cadic-Melchior; Henning Müller; Roger Schaer; Leonardo G. Cohen; Friedhelm C. Hummel – npj Science of Learning, 2024
Healthy aging often entails a decline in cognitive and motor functions, affecting independence and quality of life in older adults. Brain stimulation shows potential to enhance these functions, but studies show variable effects. Previous studies have tried to identify responders and non-responders through correlations between behavioral change and…

Cora E. Mukerji; John S. Wilson III; Carol L. Wilkinson; Manon A. Krol; Charles A. Nelson; Helen Tager-Flusberg – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Previous research links resting frontal gamma power to key developmental outcomes in young neurotypical (NT) children and infants at risk for language impairment. However, it remains unclear whether gamma power is specifically associated with language or with more general cognitive abilities among young children diagnosed with autism spectrum…

Green, Heather L.; Dipiero, Marissa; Koppers, Simon; Berman, Jeffrey I.; Bloy, Luke; Liu, Song; McBride, Emma; Ku, Matthew; Blaskey, Lisa; Kuschner, Emily; Airey, Megan; Kim, Mina; Konka, Kimberly; Roberts, Timothy P. L.; Edgar, J. Christopher – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Associations between age, resting-state (RS) peak-alpha-frequency (PAF = frequency showing largest amplitude alpha activity), and thalamic volume (thalamus thought to modulate alpha activity) were examined to understand differences in RS alpha activity between children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically-developing children (TDC)…

Machlin, Laura; McLaughlin, Katie A.; Sheridan, Margaret A. – Developmental Science, 2020
Low socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with greater risk for symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). One mechanism through which SES may confer risk for ADHD is by influencing brain structure. Alterations to cortical thickness, surface area and subcortical volume have been associated with low SES and with the presence of…

Zhao, T. Christina; Corrigan, Neva M.; Yarnykh, Vasily L.; Kuhl, Patricia K. – Developmental Science, 2022
The development of skills related to executive function (EF) in infancy, including their emergence, underlying neural mechanisms, and interconnections to other cognitive skills, is an area of increasing research interest. Here, we report on findings from a multidimensional dataset demonstrating that infants' behavioral performance on a flexible…

Shawn Kaplan – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This non-experimental, correlational, quantitative study sought to identify possible relationships between educators' beliefs in neuromyths - misconceptions or misunderstandings about how people learn - and the frequency in which instructional practices are used in the classroom. The prevalence and pervasiveness of neuromyth beliefs are well…

Jia-Richards, Meilin; Sexton, Jennifer N.; Dolan, Sara L. – Journal of American College Health, 2023
Objective: The current study examined the association between subjective and objective cognitive measures and alcohol use in college students. Objective cognitive impairment is associated with alcohol use, however subjective cognitive impairment remains understudied in at-risk populations. Participants: Data were collected from 140 undergraduate…

Natasha Chaku; Kelly Barry – Infant and Child Development, 2024
During adolescence, increases in pubertal hormones lead to reproductive maturity as well as changes in cognitive development. Yet, little is known about how to best characterize interindividual differences in hormone concentrations. The goal of the current study was to examine the antecedents and consequences of membership in empirically derived…

Sarmiento, Kelly; Miller, Gabrielle F.; Jones, Sherry Everett – Journal of School Nursing, 2022
For this study, we explored the association between high school students' reported history of sport- or physical activity-related concussions and persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness. Data from the 2017 national "Youth Risk Behavior Survey" (YRBS; N = 14,765) was used for this analysis. YRBS is administered to high school…

The last decades of neuroimaging research has revealed atypical development of intrinsic functional connectivity within and between large-scale cortical networks in autism spectrum disorder, but much remains unknown about cortico-subcortical developmental connectivity atypicalities. This study examined cortico-striatal developmental intrinsic…

Tamnes, Christian K.; Overbye, Knut; Ferschmann, Lia; Fjell, Anders M.; Walhovd, Kristine B.; Blakemore, Sarah-Jayne; Dumontheil, Iroise – Developmental Psychology, 2018
Basic perspective taking and mentalizing abilities develop in childhood, but recent studies indicate that the use of social perspective taking to guide decisions and actions has a prolonged development that continues throughout adolescence. Here, we aimed to replicate this research and investigate the hypotheses that individual differences in…

Best, John R. – Developmental Psychology, 2020
The association between physical fitness and age-related differences in cognition and brain structure has been studied fairly extensively during development and aging, yet comparatively less in young adulthood. The current study examined 1,195 young adults aged 22 to 36 (54% female; 67% Caucasian) to better understand associations between physical…

Mairon, Noam; Abramson, Lior; Knafo-Noam, Ariel; Perry, Anat; Nahum, Mor – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Empathy and executive functions (EFs) are multimodal constructs that enable individuals to cope with their environment. Both abilities develop throughout childhood and are known to contribute to social behavior and academic performance in young adolescents. Notably, mentalizing and EF activate shared frontotemporal brain areas, which in previous…

Interactions between the amygdala and prefrontal cortex are fundamental to human emotion. Despite the central role of frontoamygdala communication in adult emotional learning and regulation, little is known about how top-down control emerges during human development. In the present cross-sectional pilot study, we experimentally manipulated…

Benjamin N. Montemayor; Melody Noland; Adam E. Barry – Journal of American College Health, 2024
Objective: College campuses report alcohol and other drug policy violations as the most frequent reason students receive disciplinary referrals and, thus, are mandated to programming. This study sought to determine predictors of mandated students' alcohol use frequency, and the likelihood of early-onset alcohol using college students enrolled in…
