SUMMARYNine children suffering from Landau‐Kleffner syndrome and 25 children with developmental expressive disorder were tested for comprehension of the grammatical structure of English in spoken, written and signed (Paget‐Gorman) language modalities. It is shown that the comprehension problems of children with Landau‐Kleffner syndrome are not restricted to spoken language, but are also found when written or signed language is used. Further, in all three language modalities these children show deviant patterns of comprehension consistent with the notion that they treat language as having a sequential rather than a hierarchical structure. However, similar patterns of performance are found in profoundly deaf children, indicating that peripheral auditory deprivation is a sufficient condition for these deviant patterns of comprehension to de

摘要:

SUMMARYFour groups of boys (totalling 129) with and without reading retardation and antisocial behaviour were compared and contrasted on many items related to current behaviour and family background in order to study the degree and nature of the association between the two disorders.The results show a strong association between the two disorders but that boys with both disorders do not closely resemble either boys with only reading or boys with only antisocial problems. This differs from other findings and the reason for this and the possible nature of the association are discussed.

摘要:

SUMMARYTen patients suffering from Crohn's disease and seven children diagnosed as having Ulcerative Colitis were studied with regard to psychopathology, locus of control and several parameters of family functions. A comparison with findings from matched controls revealed higher rates of psychiatric disturbance among the clinical groups. Patients of the two groups did not differ from each other; neither in the amount nor the type of disorder. The predominating pattern was emotional disorder, which was also found in the parents' response to a behavior questionnaire. Further associations of the locus of control dimension to Crohn's disease and family functions to both diseases were found. Among clinical variables only growth retardation tended to correlate significantly with psychopathology, indicating that this consequence of the basic disease process may be more significant than other factors.

摘要:

SUMMARYTo what extent is the concept of ‘childhood egocentrism’ valid? Piaget presents an account in which a child's ability to appreciate different points of view is intimately related to his capacity for operational thought. To examine this hypothesis, children aged from 3 to 7 years were presented with tasks requiring the co‐ordination of visuo‐spatial perspectives, and tests of operational thinking. Subjects in the pre‐operational stage demonstrated an ability to co‐ordinate viewpoints, but found certain forms of visuo‐spatial problem relatively difficult. The significance of this for the concept of egocentrism and the analysis of role‐takin

摘要:

SUMMARYLittle systematic information is available concerning the association between adolescent drug usage and other forms of behavior. The present study addressed this issue. Two hundred and thirty‐one adolescents completed questionnaires concerning their use of drugs (alcohol, tobacco, pain‐killers, marijuana, etc.). Factor analysis of endorsements of a broad range of behaviors, followed by regression analysis, indicated that sexual behavior, general delinquency, school misbehavior, social behavior and studying/reading (—) were all related to drug use. School achievement (—) and domestic behavior (—) gave lower correlations. Religious behavior did not emerge as a clear

摘要:

SUMMARYA group of 28 former pupils of Special Schools for the EMR was tested both in childhood and at adult age. Information about the subjects' situation as children was available from the local school files. Pupils who had experienced the most serious problems as children were less retarded at adult age than persons who had experienced few or none problems. Three persons with impaired hearing showed also a marked increase in I.Q. scores. The results may give support to Clarke's and Clarke's hypothesis that the effects of an early unstimulating environment are not necessarily irreversible.
