Insights

Young people with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) experience challenges in physical and emotional coherence. Understanding the interplay between motor, executive, and environmental factors is key to improving their psychosocial functioning and clinical outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Occupational Therapy

Background:

  • Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting motor skills.
  • Co-occurring non-motor and executive dysfunctions are common in DCD.
  • Psychosocial functioning is significantly impacted by these challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine physical and emotional coherence in young people with DCD.
  • To explore the transactional relationship between motor and non-motor/executive dysfunction.
  • To understand the impact on psychosocial functioning.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of subjective experiences reported by young people with DCD.
  • Inclusion of objective measurements and findings from neuroimaging studies.

Main Results:

  • Subjective reports offer insights into lived experiences of DCD.
  • Neuroimaging data provide objective correlates of dysfunction.
  • Combined data reveal complex interactions influencing coherence.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding the transactional relationship between person, activity, and environment is crucial for DCD mechanisms.
  • Integrating lived experiences with research evidence is vital for clinical practice.
  • Improved understanding can lead to better outcomes for individuals with DCD.

Coordination Number and Geometry02:57

Coordination Number and Geometry

For transition metal complexes, the coordination number determines the geometry around the central metal ion. Table 1 compares coordination numbers to molecular geometry. The most common structures of the complexes in coordination compounds are octahedral, tetrahedral, and square planar.

Coordination Compounds and Nomenclature02:54

Coordination Compounds and Nomenclature

In most main group element compounds, the valence electrons of the isolated atoms combine to form chemical bonds that satisfy the octet rule. For instance, the four valence electrons of carbon overlap with electrons from four hydrogen atoms to form CH4. The one valence electron leaves sodium and adds to the seven valence electrons of chlorine to form the ionic formula unit NaCl (Figure 1a). Transition metals do not normally bond in this fashion. They primarily form coordinate covalent bonds, a...

Lattice Centering and Coordination Number02:33

Lattice Centering and Coordination Number

The structure of a crystalline solid, whether a metal or not, is best described by considering its simplest repeating unit, which is referred to as its unit cell. The unit cell consists of lattice points that represent the locations of atoms or ions. The entire structure then consists of this unit cell repeating in three dimensions. The three different types of unit cells present in the cubic lattice are illustrated in Figure 1.

Understanding the Self01:28

Understanding the Self

The self is a central aspect of human identity, encompassing an individual’s beliefs, emotions, perceptions, and experiences. It is a cognitive and psychological construct that enables individuals to interpret their traits and behaviors, influencing how they perceive themselves and interact with the world. While personality consists of stable and enduring characteristics, the self is shaped by self-perception and social experiences. This distinction highlights the dynamic nature of the...

Regulated Protein Degradation02:58

Regulated Protein Degradation

It is vital to regulate the activity of enzymatic as well as non-enzymatic proteins inside the cell. This can be achieved either through creating a balance between their rate of synthesis and degradation or regulating the intrinsic activity of the protein. Both these regulation mechanisms play an essential role in the normal functioning of cells.
Protein degradation plays two important roles in the cells. It helps to protect cells from misfolded or damaged proteins before they lead to a...
