摘要:

AbstractThe behaviour of 637 2–4 year olds attending three types of preschool group setting was assessed, using a screening questionnaire. Significantly more children in day nurseries than nursery classes or playgroups were identified with behavioural problems.It was also found that boys, those with speech or severe health problems, and younger children in day nurseries, were more likely to have behaviour difficulties. There was only a limited overlap between behaviour difficulties at home and in the group setting.The implications of the results for the training of nursery staff and the organisation of preschool services are discusse

摘要:

AbstractParent‐referred three‐year‐olds with early signs of hyperactivity and other externalizing problems were followed up at age six and compared with controls. Half the children in the problem group continued to have adjustment difficulties at home, at school, and with peers; one‐third met DSM‐III criteria for Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Maternal reports, teacher questionnaires, and observational measures discriminated between groups, but differences were accounted for only by youngsters showing persistent problems. Although laboratory measures obtained at age three did not differentiate improved children from those who continued to have problems, maternal ratings of initial symptom sev

摘要:

AbstractThe Behavior Screening Questionnaire (BSQ) was used to determine whether 21/2–31/2 yr old children living near the TMI nuclear reactor were more disturbed than children living near another nuclear plant or near a fossil‐fuel facility in Pennsylvania when assessed 21/2 yr later. The prevalence of behavior problems was 11%. Differences among the sites in overall rates and individual symptoms were small. Perceptions of environmental stress among the TMI sample of mothers were unrelated to BSQ scores, whereas in the comparison sites, where unemployment was rising, economic concerns were meaningfully related to the

摘要:

AbstractControversies about temperamental assessments raise questions about whether questionnaires, which assess parental perceptions of temperament, validly measure within‐child characteristics. Thirty‐eight couples were recruited from childbirth classes for a short‐term longitudinal study. Mother's perceptions of activity, rhythmicity and mood were moderately stable from late pregnancy to 6 mth postnatally. Only father's perceptions of activity were stable during this time. Infants rated by parents as difficult on the Carey Infant Temperament Questionnaire at 6 mth were rated by observers as less responsive while being fed by their mothers. Results are discussed in the context of influences on parental perceptions of temper

摘要:

AbstractInnate and acquired automatic information processing was compared in non‐problem students and three groups of educationally troublesome children: two normal reading groups with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), one without and one with hyperactivity, and a non‐hyperactive Reading Disabled group. All groups displayed reliable, presumably innate, automatic processing in measures of temporal and frequency sensitivity, but the two ADD groups made less precise judgements than controls, all clinical groups exhibited delayed automatization in arithmetic computation, but the handicapped groups did not differ from controls on other measures of acquired automatization (speed of writing and nami

摘要:

AbstractA follow‐up study of monkeys who experienced maternal separations as infants 2.5–4.9 years earlier was performed. Matched pairs of previously separated and nonseparated control monkeys were observed individually in four unfamiliar situations, and their behavioral responses and plasma cortisol levels were measured. Results indicated that previously separated animals displayed more disturbance than did their matched controls, and levels of disturbance were significantly correlated with the degree of behavioral and physiological disturbance displayed during the original maternal separations. The results support the idea that the perception of the maternal separation may be a significant factor in whether long‐term behavioral deficits exist in social and emotional functi

摘要:

AbstractDimensions of temperament and behaviour were measured in a group of infant school children with recurrent abdominal pain and in a control group. Children with recurrent abdominal pain were temperamentally more difficult than those without, and in particular, girls were found to have a more irregular temperamental style and boys to be more likely to withdraw in new situations. Temperamental differences were more persistent than the abdominal pain itself. There was little difference behaviouraliy between the groups. It is hypothesized that abdominal pain represents an interaction between a vulnerable temperamental style and environmental stresses.

摘要:

AbstractThe diagnosis of muscular dystrophy is usually made on the basis of gait difficulties or a history of late achievement of normal motor milestones. Other well‐described delays, notably in the area of expressive language skills, can provide additional clues to this diagnosis. We present three patients referred to The Developmental Evaluation Clinic because of problems with expressive language observed in school, who ultimately were found to have muscular dystrophy. They are presented to underscore the association of expressive language delay in patients with muscular dystrophy, and to stress the importance of a thorough motor evaluation in children with speech problem
