Insights
The Tromsø Intervention Study on Preterms (TISP) followed children until age nine. It assessed socio-emotional development, behavior, parental well-being, and quality of life.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Health
- Developmental Psychology
- Public Health
Background:
- Premature birth poses risks to long-term child development.
- Understanding developmental trajectories is crucial for early intervention.
- Parental well-being impacts child outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the socio-emotional and behavioral development of preterm children.
- To assess parental well-being in families with preterm infants.
- To determine children's quality of life up to age nine.
Main Methods:
- Longitudinal study design initiated in 1999.
- Inclusion of preterm infants.
- Assessment of child development, parental well-being, and quality of life.
Main Results:
- Presentation of findings on socio-emotional and behavioral development.
- Reporting on parental well-being outcomes.
- Analysis of quality of life perceptions in children aged nine.
Conclusions:
- The study provides long-term insights into preterm child outcomes.
- Findings can inform support strategies for preterm infants and their families.
- Results contribute to understanding the impact of prematurity on development.
Abstract:
The Tromsø Intervention Study on Preterms (TISP) started in 1999 and we may now present results on children's socio-emotional and behavioural development, parental wellbeing and perceptions of the children's quality of life until children's age of nine.

01:29Environmental Influences on Intelligence
1.1K
Despite the strong genetic influence on traits like intelligence, environmental factors significantly shape outcomes. For example, while over 90% of height variation is due to genetic differences, environmental factors such as nutrition also have a notable impact. Similarly, for intelligence, changes in a child's surroundings can significantly alter their IQ. Research shows that enriched environments boost children's academic success and help them develop key cognitive skills. Children...

1.6K
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

01:28Development of the Oral Microbiota

The establishment of the oral microbiome begins before birth, challenging the long-held belief that the fetal oral cavity is sterile. The presence of oral microbes such as Streptococcus and Fusobacterium in amniotic fluid suggests that microbial exposure may occur in utero, potentially through translocation from the maternal oral or gastrointestinal tract. This early colonization primes the neonatal immune system and sets the stage for subsequent microbial succession. Maternal health,...

01:28Relationship with Parents: Attachment
332
Parent-child interactions lay the foundation for how we understand relationships throughout life. These interactions are not uniform across families; instead, they are shaped by a range of environmental, emotional, and behavioral factors unique to each caregiver-child dynamic. Social psychologists study these early relationships to understand how patterns formed in infancy influence social functioning and interpersonal behavior in adulthood.Attachment Theory and Early Relational ModelsJohn...

01:30Socioemotional Development during Infancy
1.1K
Socio-emotional development in infancy is primarily shaped by early emotional responses and social connections, with temperament playing a central role. Temperament refers to the consistent patterns in an individual's emotional and behavioral responses, observable even in infancy. By examining temperament, researchers can better understand an infant's unique ways of interacting with the world, influencing subsequent personality and socio-emotional growth.

01:52Regression Toward the Mean
7.3K
Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...
