Sustained attention (SA) is an endogenous form of attention that emerges in infancy and reflects cognitive engagement and processing. SA is critical for learning and has been measured using different methods during screen-based and interactive contexts involving social and nonsocial stimuli. How SA differs by measurement method, context, and…

Benjamin, Lucas; Fló, Ana; Palu, Marie; Naik, Shruti; Melloni, Lucia; Dehaene-Lambertz, Ghislaine – Developmental Science, 2023
Since speech is a continuous stream with no systematic boundaries between words, how do pre-verbal infants manage to discover words? A proposed solution is that they might use the transitional probability between adjacent syllables, which drops at word boundaries. Here, we tested the limits of this mechanism by increasing the size of the word-unit…

Celik, Melike Yavas; Guler, Selver – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
In this study, it was aimed to determine the difficulties in receiving care for infants who are in neonatal intensive care during the pandemic process. In this phenomenological study, interviews were conducted with semi-structured questions with the participants. While collecting the data, both observation and interview techniques were used. The…

Martinez-Alvarez, Anna; Benavides-Varela, Silvia; Lapillonne, Alexandre; Gervain, Judit – Developmental Science, 2023
Prosody is the fundamental organizing principle of spoken language, carrying lexical, morphosyntactic, and pragmatic information. It, therefore, provides highly relevant input for language development. Are infants sensitive to this important aspect of spoken language early on? In this study, we asked whether infants are able to discriminate…

Merve Polat; Ilknur Yildiz – Early Child Development and Care, 2023
Mothers who are in more sensitive and in a different state in the postpartum period may think that the COVID-19 pandemic will affect the health of their babies. This study was carried out to investigate the relationship between the COVID-19 fears of mothers in the postpartum period and their mother-infant bonding and breastfeeding self-efficacy…

Viviers, Mari; Edwards, Louise; Asir, Maya; Hibberd, Judi; Rowe, Rebecca; Phillips, Sophie; Thomas, Victoria; Keesing, Melissa; Sugar, Analou; Allen, Jodi – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has renewed interest in the use of ultrasound (US) amongst dysphagia-trained clinicians working with infants and children. US is a portable, minimally intrusive tool which carries reduced risk of aerosol-generation provoked by other instrumental swallowing assessment tools such as…

Lee, Inn-Chi; Wang, Yu-Hsun; Chiou, Jeng-Yuan; Wei, James Cheng-Chung – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
We analyzed claims data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance database, which contains data of 23.5 million Taiwan residents. We included children born after January 1, 2000 who had received a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Patients who were not diagnosed with ASD were included in the control group. The ASD prevalence was 517 in…

Neonatal jaundice has been suggested as a perinatal risk factor for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We examined UGT1A1 polymorphisms to assess the potential of neonatal jaundice as a risk factor for ASD in children by using DNA extracted from preserved umbilical cord. In total, 79 children with ASD were genotyped for "UGT1A1*28"…

Inal, Sevil; Aydin Yilmaz, Diler; Erdim, Leyla – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
This study was a prospective, randomized controlled trial. The study sample consisted of 105 healthy neonates who conformed to the case selection criteria. Neonates were randomly assigned to the following groups: swaddling (S), maternal holding (MH), and controls (C). The study data were obtained using an information form and the Neonatal Infant…

Todil, Tugba; Cetinkaya, Senay – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
Kangaroo care (KC) or kangaroo mother care (KMC), sometimes called skin-to-skin contact, is a technique of newborn care where babies are kept chest-to-chest and skin-to-skin with a parent. The research was carried out experimentally to investigate the effect of the early kangaroo care by using Neonatal Comfort Behavior Scale in invasive…

The occupational therapy doctorate degree requires a capstone experience and project to be completed within a specific occupational therapy (OT)-related setting. The doctoral capstone experience and project can be difficult to complete in the highly specialized Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). This paper provides a sample outline of the…

Miller, Kerry; Prokasky, Amanda; Roberts, Holly; McMorris, Carol; Needelman, Howard – Infant and Child Development, 2023
This study explores the extent to which medical and sociodemographic variables and cognitive and language skills are associated with executive function (EF) skills in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) graduates at 24 months of adjusted age. We explored cognitive, language, and EF skills in 42 NICU graduates who participated in a NICU follow-up…

In the olfactory bulb, a cAMP/PKA/CREB-dependent form of learning occurs in the first week of life that provides a unique mammalian model for defining the epigenetic role of this evolutionarily ancient plasticity cascade. Odor preference learning in the week-old rat pup is rapidly induced by a 10-min pairing of odor and stroking. Memory is…

Adamovic, Tatjana; Jurišic-Škevin, Aleksandra; Madic, Dejan; Sovilj, Mirjana; Jelicic, Ljiljana; Maksimovic, Slavica; Subotic, Miško – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
This study analysed whether the assessment of head righting reflex (HRR) in babies immediately after birth can be used in prediction of early child development. In 54 healthy newborns, testing of HRR was conducted on the third day upon birth. The HRR at birth were correlated with balance ability (BA), speech and language development (SLD) and…

Addabbo, Margaret; Colombo, Lorenzo; Picciolini, Odoardo; Tagliabue, Paolo; Turati, Chiara – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2022
Multisensory experiences crucially contribute to the development of infants' ability to match audio-visual (A-V) information. This study investigated two-day-old newborns' ability to bind non-verbal, naturally occurring, experienced A-V stimuli. Our results demonstrate that, when presented with experienced stimuli (yawns and hiccups) within an…
