Autism Spectrum Disorder

482
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.

Introduction to Developmental Psychology

709
Developmental psychology explores the changes and continuities in human abilities throughout life, encompassing physical, cognitive, linguistic, and social dimensions. Human development is not restricted to growth, but includes aspects of decline, particularly in physical abilities as individuals age. Developmental psychologists seek to understand how people change as they age and how their mental and social skills evolve.Developmental MilestonesA key concept in developmental psychology is...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Health
  • Motor Development
  • Physical Education

Background:

  • Only 33% of children meet recommended physical activity guidelines.
  • Motor skill competence is linked to higher physical activity levels in children.
  • Interventions targeting motor skills may improve activity levels and health outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the effectiveness of motor skill training interventions on children's motor competence.
  • To compare outcomes in children with and without developmental delays.
  • To identify optimal intervention parameters for improving motor skills in early childhood.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of studies from Medline Complete and Psych INFO databases.
  • Included interventions focused on children aged 3-11 years.
  • Analyzed studies involving children with and without developmental delays globally.

Main Results:

  • Motor skill interventions showed significant improvements from pre-to post-test.
  • Effective interventions involved 60-120 minutes weekly for 2-6 months.
  • Over 50% of interventions modified school curricula; studies were moderate to high quality.

Conclusions:

  • Weekly 60-minute motor skill sessions over 8+ weeks effectively improve motor abilities in children.
  • Interventions are beneficial for children with and without developmental delays.
  • Tailoring intervention difficulty is crucial for maximizing motor skill development.
