This report summarizes findings from a longitudinal study of 1,215 mothers and children from 10 locations around the United States, focusing on the links between maternal depression and child outcomes. Families were followed from 1 month to 36 months after the birth of their child. Data collection methods included observations of mother-child play…

Peer reviewedHenke, James T. – Children's Literature in Education, 1983
Examines how the two very different novels--"Millie's Boy" and "Father Figure"--treat the commonplace theme of the quest for mature identity in a similar but very uncommon fashion. (HOD)

Peer reviewedUngerer, Judy A.; Sigman, Marian – Child Development, 1983
Assessments of play, sensorimotor, language, and general developmental skills were administered to two preterm and 20 full-term infants. Preterm infants showed some delays greater than would be predicted from biological maturity alone, but delays were not present for all skills and generally were not maintained beyond 2 years of age.

Peer reviewedMoxley-Haegert, Linda; Serbin, Lisa A. – Child Development, 1983
Comparing developmental education for parents, parent education in child management, and a control situation, this study assessed treatment effectiveness in motivating parents to participate in home programs for developmentally delayed infants. Results indicated the superiority of the developmental program in terms of parent participation and…

Peer reviewedJoshi, Mary Sissons; MacLean, Morag – Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, 1997
Compared maternal expectations of child development in India (n=50), Japan (n=50), and England (n=70) by asking mothers to indicate at which age they expected a child to achieve competency in 45 tasks. Results show that competence was expected at a slightly earlier age in Japan than in England, and altogether later in India. Differences between…

Peer reviewedBoyce, Glenna C.; And Others – Early Education and Development, 1993
Describes a comparative longitudinal study of the development of medically fragile infants who entered intervention programs at 3 and 18 months. Reports similar outcomes on functioning measures for the first two annual assessments but higher scores in the third year for infants who received intervention earlier. (BCY)

Peer reviewedPennington, Bruce F.; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1993
Compared two common developmental disorders, reading disability (RD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), in two cognitive domains (phonological processes and executive functions) in a sample of 7- to 10-year-old boys. Results provided evidence for the separability of phonological processes from executive functions, as well as one…

Peer reviewedBraisby, Nick; Dockrell, Julie – Journal of Child Language, 1999
To investigate the apparent delay in color naming by young children, this study compared natural-kind and color naming (and corresponding comprehension) by 48 young English children who completed testing four times over six weeks. Results indicated that, as opposed to the salience view, the apparent delay in color naming may be explained solely on…

Peer reviewedSt. Pierre, Robert G.; Layzer, Jean I. – Future of Children, 1999
Evaluation of programs at 21 sites, involving 4,410 families participating in the Comprehensive Child Development Program, a two-generation program using case management and home visiting, found no statistically significant impact on program families compared with control families for any assessed domain. Results do not support the effectiveness…

Peer reviewedFlynn, Robert J.; Biro, Chantal – Children & Society, 1998
Examined psychometric properties of Assessment and Action Record (AAR) and compared outcomes of children cared for by a Canadian child-welfare agency and from a comparison group from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth. Found variable reliability and validity for individual AAR items. Children in care had worse outcomes than…

Direct linkGhetti, Simona; Papini, Silvia; Angelini, Laura – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2006
We investigated whether the memorability-based strategy, a process supporting the rejection of nonexperienced event occurrence, could be promoted through training. The performance of children who received memorability-based training was compared with that of (a) children who received source-monitoring training and (b) children who did not receive…

Ganger, Jennifer; Brent, Michael R. – Developmental Psychology, 2004
The authors asked whether there is evidence to support the existence of the vocabulary spurt, an increase in the rate of word learning that is thought to occur during the 2nd year of life. Using longitudinal data from 38 children, they modeled the rate of word learning with two functions, one with an inflection point (logistic), which would…

Hill, Jennifer L.; Waldfogel, Jane; Brooks-Gunn, Jeanne; Han, Wen-Jui – Developmental Psychology, 2005
The employment rate for mothers with young children has increased dramatically over the past 25 years. Estimating the effects of maternal employment on children's development is challenged by selection bias and the missing data endemic to most policy research. To address these issues, this study uses propensity score matching and multiple…

Neurotransmitters are essential in young children for differentiation and neuronal growth of the developing nervous system. We aimed to identify possible factors related to secondary neurotransmitter abnormalities in pediatric patients with neurological disorders. We analyzed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and biogenic amine metabolites in 56 infants…

Objective: To evaluate the hypothesis of stimulant medication effect on physical growth in the follow-up phase of the Multimodal Treatment Study of Children With ADHD. Method: Naturalistic subgroups were established based on patterns of treatment with stimulant medication at baseline, 14-, 24-, and 36-month assessments: not medicated (n = 65),…
