Gatica-Domínguez, Giovanna; Rothenberg, Stephen J.; Torres-Sánchez, Luisa; Schnaas, Lourdes; Stein, Aryeh D.; Schmidt, Rebecca J.; López-Carrillo, Lizbeth – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2020
Prenatal folate and vitamin B[subscript 12] status have been linked to child neuropsychological development, but less is known about maternal genetic influences on this association. We conducted an exploratory longitudinal study of 181 mother--child pairs to assess whether maternal MTHFR 677C>T genotype modifies the association between maternal…

Kenyhercz, Flóra; Kató, Szabolcs; Nagy, Beáta Erika – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
We investigated health-related quality of life in preterm children in association with birth weight, breastfeeding and maternal emotional state. A cross-sectional study was carried out involving 97 mothers of 2-year-old children born below 2500 g. Participants completed the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory and a comprehensive psychological…

Moss, Katrina M.; Simcock, Gabrielle; Cobham, Vanessa; Kildea, Sue; Elgbeili, Guillaume; Laplante, David P.; King, Suzanne – Developmental Psychology, 2017
Fetal exposure to prenatal maternal stress can have lifelong consequences, with different types of maternal stress associated with different areas of child development. Fewer studies have focused on motor skills, even though they are strongly predictive of later development across a range of domains. Research on mechanisms of transmission has…

Monk, Catherine; Georgieff, Michael K.; Osterholm, Erin A. – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2013
Background: Accumulating data from animal and human studies indicate that the prenatal environment plays a significant role in shaping children's neurocognitive development. Clinical, epidemiologic, and basic science research suggests that two experiences relatively common in pregnancy--an unhealthy maternal diet and psychosocial…

Developmental Assessment of Preterm Infants at 2 Years: Validity of Parent Reports
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Johnson, Samantha; Wolke, Dieter; Marlow, Neil – Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 2008
Parental questionnaires are inexpensive alternatives to standardized testing for outcome measurement. The Parent Report of Children's Abilities has previously been revised (PARCA-R) and validated for use with very-preterm infants at 2 years of age. This study revalidated the PARCA-R for assessing cognition in a larger and more inclusive sample of…

Prediction of Out-of-Sequence Development by BSID Scores.
Richards, Ruth C.; And Others – 1986
The primary purpose of this study was to examine uneven early development in premature infants. A multiple regression analysis was performed in which birth weight, length of gestation, length of assisted feeding, and length of ventilation were used to predict the descrepancy between a child's Psychomotor and Mental Scale scores on the Bayley…
