Information Processing Approach

438
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...

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

680
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....

Summary

Children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and those at risk (r-DCD) exhibit significant executive function deficits, particularly in working memory and inhibitory control. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions and early support services for affected children.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Children with motor impairments often display challenges in executive functions.
  • Specific executive function domains most affected in these children remain unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare executive functions across children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD), at risk for DCD (r-DCD), and typically developing (TD) children.

Main Methods:

  • Assessed 397 children using MABC-2 and WASI for screening.
  • Identified DCD (n=63), r-DCD (n=31), and TD (n=63) groups.
  • Evaluated working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility using verbal and nonverbal tasks.

Main Results:

  • Significant group effects observed in working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility.
  • DCD group scored lower than TD group in visuospatial/verbal working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility.
  • r-DCD group scored lower than TD group in visuospatial working memory and cognitive flexibility.

Conclusions:

  • Impaired executive functions in DCD necessitate targeted motor and executive function interventions.
  • Low executive function scores in r-DCD children suggest a need for early preventive services.
