SUMMARYThe variety of provision for deprived and handicapped children offers rich material, for research into factors affecting the functioning of complex organisations, and into environmental factors affecting child development. Recent advances in knowledge have come about because of a clearer definition of problems, and because of the development of “indicators” of handicap and of quantitative measures of institutional functioning. Significant associations have been shown between (1) certain aspects of the formal organisational structure of institutions, (2) child care practices employed by staff and, (3) the behaviour of the children in residence. Studies rooted in practical issues but which also explore theoretical questions can make a significant contribution to social policy and to the science of child developm

摘要:

SUMMARYThis review is confined to an examination of experimental research concerned with the acquisition of skill in reading. Attention is drawn to the complex role of perceptual and cognitive processes.It is suggested that experimental studies directed towards an analysis of the task would have two major advantages. They would provide both a better understanding of the nature of the process and a more adequate theoretical basis for developing effective remedial measures.

摘要:

SUMMARYParents and teachers completed behavioural rating scales on 89 sisters and 85 brothers of 104 mongol children living at home.Disturbance in the boys, known to be not significantly more frequent than in controls, was related to family size and social class.Disturbance in the girls, known to be more frequent than in controls, was related also to type of school, birth order and age in relation to the mongol child.The conclusion drawn is that the presence of a mongol child in the home is associated with deviant behaviour as assessed by parents and teachers and educational failure in elder sisters who are probably carrying a large share of the burden of care.

摘要:

SUMMARYThree hundred and fifty boys and 350 girls of average mental level at elementary grades 5 to 8 from Higher and Lower Middle Class environments in Israel were followed up for two years. In the Higher Level group, physiological maturation was related to cognitive variables predominantly at grades 5, 6, 7 in girls and at grades 7, 8 in boys, i.e. during the respective physical growth spurts. In the Lower Level group the relationship between physiological and intellectual growth was inconsistent. Performance on Non Verbal Tests correlated higher with physiological growth in boys. Season of birth turned out to be an important intervening variable. Results which are in accordance with findings of a pilot study demonstrate environmental and possibly genetic differences in relationships between cognitive and physiological maturation, but do not unambiguously confirm the occurrence of a pubertal mental growth spurt.

摘要:

SUMMARYClassical “affectionless psychopathy” of institutionalization is no longer a commonly found syndrome in residential care. The individual clinical features which make up the syndrome, however, are each described as occurring very commonly. A psychiatric study of a group of children in long stay residential care suggests that the main features of the syndrome have a different aetiology. Antisocial behaviour is found to relate to aspects in the child's family, and relationship difficulties to an early admission to care. The implications of these findings are discus

摘要:

SUMMARYA method of introducing slight and gradual changes into the autistic child's environment is discussed. Two case histories are given where this technique has been used to reduce the attachment to objects, at the same time working on increasing sociability and attachment to people. The theoretical implications of such attachments are discussed together with more general applications of such a treatment technique.
