Differentiating between childhood communication disorders: Implications for language and psychosocial outcomes

Differentiating between childhood communication disorders: Implications for language and psychosocial outcomes

The development of the picture superiority effect

When pictures and words are presented serially in an explicit memory task, recall of the pictures is superior.

A genome-wide association study of total child psychiatric problems scores

Substantial genetic correlations have been reported across psychiatric disorders and numerous cross-disorder genetic variants have been detected. To identify the genetic variants underlying general psychopathology in childhood, we performed a genome-wide association study using a total psychiatric problem score.

Anesthetic Exposure During Childhood and Neurodevelopmental Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Clinical studies of neurodevelopmental outcomes after anesthetic exposure have evaluated a range of outcomes with mixed results.

Genome-wide Association Meta-analysis of Childhood and Adolescent Internalizing Symptoms

To investigate the genetic architecture of internalizing symptoms in childhood and adolescence.

Harmonizing the CBCL and SDQ ADHD scores by using linear equating, kernel equating, item response theory and machine learning methods

A problem that applied researchers and practitioners often face is the fact that different institutions within research consortia use different scales to evaluate the same construct which makes comparison of the results and pooling challenging.

Where were those rabbits? A new paradigm to determine cerebral lateralisation of visuospatial memory function in children

In this study we devised a child-friendly version of a paradigm to assess lateralisation of visuospatial memory using functional transcranial Doppler...

Nutrition in early life interacts with genetic risk to influence preadult behaviour in the Raine Study

Early life nutrition is associated with child behaviour; however, the interplay with genetic vulnerability is understudied. We hypothesised that psychiatric genetic risk interacted with early nutrition to predict behavioural problems in childhood and adolescence.
