Children with autism spectrum disorder are prescribed various medications to address behavior and mood. In clinical trials, individuals taking concomitant psychotropic medications often are excluded to maintain homogeneity and prevent contamination of clinical endpoints. However, this choice may compromise the representativeness of the sample. In…

Objective: Many children with pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs) have serious, functionally impairing behavioral problems. We tested whether combined treatment (COMB) with risperidone and parent training (PT) in behavior management is superior to medication alone (MED) in improving severe behavioral problems in children with PDDs. Method:…

Kirby, Amanda; Woodward, Amelia; Jackson, Sarah – British Educational Research Journal, 2010
Despite the potential impact nutrition may have on learning, there have been surprisingly few papers published directed towards the educational research community. In contrast, omega-3 supplementation studies are being frequently cited in the media, leading to parents asking for advice and guidance. The purpose of this article is to review the…

In response to the issues raised by B. Feingold regarding the possible role of food additives as a cause of hyperactivity and learing disability, the Nutrition Foundation organized a critical review of Feinfold's claims by a group of behavioral and medical scientists. Among the cliams made by Feingold was that, when treated with the salicylate and…

Peer reviewedFaraone, Stephen V.; Biederman, Joseph – Developmental Review, 2000
Comments on Joseph's review of the genetics of attention deficit disorder, demonstrating errors of scientific logic and oversight of relevant research in Joseph's argument. Argues for the validity of twin studies in supporting a genetic link for ADHD and for the complementary role of nature and nurture in the etiology of the disorder. (JPB)

Peer reviewedJoseph, Jay – Developmental Review, 2000
Answers the most important criticisms by Faraone and Biederman in their critique of Joseph's analysis of evidence supporting a genetic basis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Argues that possible genetic and environmental influences in ADHD twin studies are confounded, obscuring inferences about genetic factors. (JPB)

Witwer, Andrea N.; Lecavalier, Luc – Journal of Mental Health Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2008
The purpose of this literature review was to summarize studies examining risk factors, markers, and correlates of psychopathology in youngsters with intellectual disability. A total of 26 studies met inclusion criteria and were reviewed. Due to the limitations of research methods (i.e., not establishing precedence), no risk factors were…

Peer reviewedJoseph, Jay – Developmental Review, 2000
Examines the empirical evidence cited in favor of the operation of genetic factors in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and argues that the evidence does not support a role for genetic factors in the disorder. Discusses problems compromising family, twin, and adoption studies. (JPB)

Peer reviewedLahey, Benjamin B.; And Others – Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1978
Definitional problems surrounding the terms "hyperactivity" and "learning disabilities" cannot be fully resolved unless dimensions of behavior (intercorrelated core characteristics) can be independently identified that correspond in some way with these terms. This research utilizes a broad item pool supposedly related to learning disabilities and…

Peer reviewedAman, Michael G.; Singh, Nirbhay N. – American Journal of Mental Deficiency, 1980
Studies of thioridazine (Mellaril) use for treating childhood behavior disorders (psychosis, hyperactivity, behavior problems, emotional disturbances) were reviewed with a special emphasis on methodology. It was found that the caliber of these studies has been unsatisfactory and that measures of drug effect have tended to stress global rather than…

Huey, Stanley J., Jr.; Polo, Antonio J. – Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, 2008
This article reviews research on evidence-based treatments (EBTs) for ethnic minority youth using criteria from Chambless et al. (1998), Chambless et al. (1996), and Chambless and Hollon (1998). Although no "well-established" treatments were identified, "probably efficacious" or "possibly efficacious" treatments were found for ethnic minority…

Peer reviewedConger, Anthony J.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1983
An investigation of the Conners' Teacher Rating Scale-Revised hyperactivity scale found that the referents for teacher ratings should be determined, teachers' ratings should be made more objective, standardization across teachers should be demonstrated before norms are preferred, and the rating scale should be validated via observations or other…
