Direct linkFidler, D. J.; Schworer, E.; Will, E. A.; Patel, L.; Daunhauer, L. A. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2019
Background: While delays in cognitive development are detectable during early development in Down syndrome, the neuropsychological and biomedical underpinnings of cognitive skill acquisition in this population remain poorly understood. Method: To explore this issue, 38 infants with Down syndrome [mean chronological age = 9.65 months; SD = 3.64]…

Toffalini, E.; Meneghetti, C.; Carretti, B.; Lanfranchi, S. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2018
Background: Spatial knowledge about an environment is an important determinant of ability to move effectively within it and of personal autonomy. Individuals with Down's syndrome (DS) have difficulty managing configural visuospatial information. Method: Twenty-nine individuals with DS and 29 typically developing (TD) children, matched for mental…

Schworer, E.; Fidler, D. J.; Lunkenheimer, E.; Daunhauer, L. A. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2019
Background: Parenting behaviours influence many domains of child development, and recent work has demonstrated the specific effects of parenting on the development of executive function (EF) abilities. The relationship between parent-child interaction patterns and EF has been examined in typically developing (TD) children but has not yet been…

Swanepoel, M.; Haw, T. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2018
Background: Parenting a child who has an intellectual disability has been shown to increase the risk for developing depression. The purpose of this study was to screen for depression and to determine if there is an association between depressive symptoms and certain sociodemographic factors in mothers with a child diagnosed with Down syndrome in…

Roberts, L.; Richmond, J. L. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2018
Background: Episodic memory deficits are a characteristic of cognitive dysfunction in people with Down syndrome (DS). However, less is known about the processes (i.e. encoding, retention or using learned information flexibly) that underlie these deficits. Method: We explored these abilities by administering a relational memory and inference task…

Chen, C.-C.; Ringenbach, S. D. R. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2019
Background: The high prevalence of cognitive dysfunction is well documented in individuals with Down syndrome. However, only a few studies have focused on the effect of exercise on cognitive performance in this population. In particular, verbal fluency has been shown to be relevant to the early onset of Alzheimer's disease in individuals with Down…

Pezzuti, L.; Nacinovich, R.; Oggiano, S.; Bomba, M.; Ferri, R.; La Stella, A.; Rossetti, S.; Orsini, A. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2018
Background: Individuals with Down syndrome generally show a floor effect on Wechsler Scales that is manifested by flat profiles and with many or all of the weighted scores on the subtests equal to 1. Method: The main aim of the present paper is to use the statistical Hessl method and the extended statistical method of Orsini, Pezzuti and Hulbert…

Nevill, R. E.; Benson, B. A. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2018
Background: This study explored the role of demographic, psychosocial, stress and life event-related risk factors for psychopathology and challenging behaviour in a clinical sample of adults with Down syndrome. Method: A convenience sample of adults with Down syndrome seen through a specialised clinic was assessed through interviews and…

Will, E.; Fidler, D. J.; Daunhauer, L.; Gerlach-McDonald, B. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2017
Background: Executive function (EF) plays a critical role in academic outcomes in typically developing children, but the contribution of EF to academic performance in Down syndrome (DS) is less well understood. This study evaluated differences in early academic foundations between primary school aged children with DS and non-verbal mental-age…

Hassan, N. M.; Landorf, K. B.; Shields, N.; Munteanu, S. E. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2019
Background: People with intellectual disabilities (ID) often do not meet recommended guidelines for physical activity. The aim of this study was to systematically review available evidence that evaluated the effectiveness of interventions to increase physical activity in individuals with ID. Method: Five electronic databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL,…

Heimann, M.; Nordqvist, E.; Strid, K.; Connant Almrot, J.; Tjus, T. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2016
Background: Imitation, a key vehicle for both cognitive and social development, is often regarded as more difficult for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) than for children with Down syndrome (DS) or typically developing (TD) children. The current study investigates similarities and differences in observed elicited, spontaneous and…

Majerus, S.; Barisnikov, K. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2018
Background: Verbal short-term memory (STM) capacity has been considered to support vocabulary learning in typical children and adults, but evidence for this link is inconsistent for studies in individuals with Down syndrome (DS). The aim of this study was explore the role of processing demands on the association between verbal STM and vocabulary…

Arango, P. S.; Aparicio, A.; Tenorio, M. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2018
Background: Several studies show that socio-economic status (SES) is related to the developmental trajectories of children with typical development (TD). However, few studies have analysed this relationship regarding children with neurodevelopmental disorders such as Down syndrome (DS). In this paper, we analyse the impact of SES in the…

Esbensen, A. J.; Hoffman, E. K.; Beebe, D. W.; Byars, K. C.; Epstein, J. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2018
Background: In the general population, sleep problems have an impact on daytime performance. Despite sleep problems being common among children with Down syndrome, the impact of sleep problems on daytime behaviours in school-age children with Down syndrome is an understudied topic. Our study examined the relationship between parent-reported and…

Esbensen, A. J.; Hoffman, E. K. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2018
Background: Sleep problems have an impact on executive functioning in the general population. While children with Down syndrome (DS) are at high risk for sleep problems, the impact of these sleep problems on executive functioning in school-age children with DS is less well documented. Our study examined the relationship between parent-reported and…
