Intellectual Disability01:29

Intellectual Disability

Intellectual disability (ID) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in intellectual and adaptive functioning that manifest during the developmental period. This condition encompasses challenges in reasoning, memory, problem-solving, and learning, accompanied by impairments in everyday life skills, such as communication, self-care, and social interactions. Intellectual disability affects approximately 1% of the population in the United States, impacting an estimated 5...
Language and Cognition01:27

Language and Cognition

Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings.
Information Processing Approach01:30

Information Processing Approach

The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is also...
Conduct Disorder01:28

Conduct Disorder

Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...
Oppositional Defiant Disorder01:30

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

A persistent pattern of angry or irritable mood, defiant behavior, or vindictiveness characterizes Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Symptoms must occur over at least six months, involve interactions with individuals beyond siblings, and meet specific diagnostic criteria to be clinically significant. The disorder affects emotional regulation, social interactions, and behavior, often manifesting early in life and influencing long-term development and functioning.

Area of Science:

  • Child Psychology
  • Developmental Disabilities
  • Special Education

Background:

  • Intellectual disability (ID) presents diverse behavioral challenges in children.
  • Understanding classroom behavior, group participation, and authority interactions is crucial for children with ID.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess behavioral and social-emotional functioning in children with intellectual disability.
  • To identify the prevalence of behavioral disorders in this population.
  • To explore effective rehabilitation strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Conners Rating Scale for behavioral assessment.
  • Included 124 children with intellectual disability from Belgrade elementary schools.
  • Focused on classroom behavior, group dynamics, and attitudes toward authority.

Main Results:

  • Prevalence of behavioral and social-emotional disorders ranged from 11.2% to 40.4%.
  • Specific behavioral patterns were identified in classroom settings and social interactions.
  • Attitude towards authority varied among the participants.

Conclusions:

  • Children with intellectual disability exhibit a significant range of behavioral and social-emotional functioning issues.
  • A multimodal approach is essential for effective rehabilitation.
  • Reeducation of psychomotor activity shows promise in therapeutic interventions.
