Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

978
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....

Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

295
Pediatric patient dosages diverge from adults due to disparities in body surface area, total body water, and extracellular fluid per kilogram of body weight. The dosing regimen considers the variations in pharmacokinetics and pharmacology across distinct age groups, encompassing preterm newborns, infants, young children, older children, and adolescents. Calculation of pediatric patient doses is predicated on determining body surface area, which exhibits a superior correlation with the child's...

Sustainable Development

As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Visual System01:26

Visual System

1.8K
Light enters the eye through the cornea, a transparent, dome-shaped surface covering the surface of the eyeball that helps to direct and focus incoming light. This light is then channeled toward the pupil, an adjustable opening whose size is controlled by the iris. The iris, a pigmented muscle, regulates the amount of light entering the eye by contracting or dilating the pupil, thereby ensuring optimal light levels for clear vision.
Once through the pupil, the light passes through the lens, a...

Development of the Lymphatic System01:15

Development of the Lymphatic System

2.1K
The development of lymphatic tissues and vessels in embryonic life begins around the fifth week. These structures originate from the mesoderm layer, with lymph sacs emerging from developing veins.
The first lymph sacs to form are the paired jugular lymph sacs located at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. From these sacs, lymphatic capillary plexuses extend to the thorax, upper limbs, neck, and head, eventually forming lymphatic vessels. Each jugular lymph sac maintains a...

Language Development01:22

Language Development

912
Children master language quickly and with relative ease, supported by both biological predisposition and reinforcement. B. F. Skinner (1957) proposed that language is learned through reinforcement, while Noam Chomsky (1965) argued that language acquisition mechanisms are biologically determined.
The critical period for language acquisition suggests that the ability to acquire language is at its peak early in life. As people age, this proficiency decreases. Language development begins very...

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Previous research explored young children's visual attention, but not using Bundesen's Theory of Visual Attention (TVA).
  • TVA is a well-established model for visual attention in older individuals.
  • Adapting TVA for early childhood could offer new insights into cognitive development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the feasibility of using a TVA-based assessment for 4- to 5-year-old children.
  • To develop a simplified, age-appropriate version of a TVA-based visual attention assessment.
  • To investigate the relationship between visual attention and early learning.

Main Methods:

  • Adapted a TVA-based visual attention assessment by replacing letters with symbols and reducing duration.
  • Tested the adapted assessment in two studies with 4- to 5-year-old children (N=43 and N=24).
  • Focused on age-appropriate modifications to accommodate young children's capabilities.

Main Results:

  • Measuring visual attention using a simplified TVA-based assessment is feasible for 4- to 5-year-olds.
  • Study results indicate successful adaptation and application of the TVA model in this age group.
  • The modified assessment design was suitable for the target age group.

Conclusions:

  • A simplified TVA-based assessment is a viable tool for studying visual attention in preschool-aged children.
  • This approach can enhance understanding of the link between visual attention development and early learning.
  • Further research can build upon this adapted TVA model for early childhood cognitive studies.
