摘要:

SUMMARYComparing two groups of psychotic mothers (schizophrenic, depressed), and well mothers and their children aged 5–6 on the Embedded Figures Test (EFT) and Continuous Performance Test (CPT), these attention measures were less inter‐correlated within the depressed group. Partialling both mother and child I.Q., there were no significant intergenerational relationships within any of the three diagnostic groups. Although schizophrenic mothers performed less well than mothers in the two other groups on the EFT, children of depressed mothers showed the greatest impairment in intelligence, and, covarying for intelligence, greater impairment than children in either of the two other groups on the

摘要:

SUMMARYA number of studies using stimulant drugs with hyperactive children are reviewed. Results indicated that most children are judged as improved on the drugs while a small percentage are not. Although most side effects are transitory, suppressed weight and height gain may remain problematic throughout treatment. The drugs appear to energize the central nervous system of these children while increasing their ability to concentrate without responding impulsively. Changes in other abilities are occasionally observed but appear to result from improvement in attentional processes. In contrast, follow‐up studies find the long‐term psycho‐social adjustment of these children to be essentially unaffected by stimulant drug trea

摘要:

SUMMARYChildren aged 3–14 on one census day, known to the services for severe mental retardation, or having items of behaviour found in early childhood autism, were identified from the Camberwell register. The children can be divided into 3 groups: (a) 42 with no symbolic play; (b) 23 with stereotyped, repetitive, copying play, (c) 43 who have flexible, varied symbolic play. The last occurs only in children with language comprehension age above the 19 month level, and is seen in less than half of the school‐age severely retarded children.The majority of children with no symbolic play, or with stereotyped play, have marked autistic features or the full autistic syndrome. Only 2 of those with true symbolic play have any behaviour like that found in autism and none has the full syndrome. A small group of children with “repetitive” speech and stereotyped play is identified and the relationship with childhood autism is considered.The educational implications of the findings are di

摘要:

SUMMARYIn a sample of British born primiparous women attending an ante‐natal dink 7% were found to have been admitted to the residential care of a local authority for at least one month. The group admitted were found to be more likely to be teenagers and unmarried, have poor housing conditions and to have moved into the district served by the clinic. They had a higher score on a “malaise” inventory and were more likely to describe their health as having deteriorated during the pregnancy. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are disc

摘要:

SUMMARYThe performance of a group of autistic children in a conditional matching learning set task was shown to be significantly inferior to that of groups of normal and retarded children matched for mental age. This task involves the use of conditional cues for correct solution of the problems and it is suggested that autistic children suffer from a particular cognitive deficit which is exposed in their inability in this task to make use of symbolic information.
