Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

1.2K
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....

Autism Spectrum Disorder01:19

Autism Spectrum Disorder

1.4K
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.

Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

627
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
Participant Modeling
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in...

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

1.0K
A persistent pattern of angry or irritable mood, defiant behavior, or vindictiveness characterizes Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Symptoms must occur over at least six months, involve interactions with individuals beyond siblings, and meet specific diagnostic criteria to be clinically significant. The disorder affects emotional regulation, social interactions, and behavior, often manifesting early in life and influencing long-term development and functioning.

Information Processing Approach01:30

Information Processing Approach

684
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...

Three Developmental Domains01:29

Three Developmental Domains

1.3K
Human development is typically examined across three main domains: physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional. These domains represent the significant areas of change and continuity throughout the lifespan, from infancy to late adulthood.
Physical Development
Physical processes, also known as maturation, encompass the biological changes that occur across an individual's life. These changes begin with genetic inheritance and continue through various stages, including growth in height and weight,...

Area of Science:

  • Neurodevelopmental disorders
  • Developmental psychology
  • Motor control

Background:

  • Motor difficulties are prevalent in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) across development.
  • These motor challenges are frequently neglected in etiological and functional impairment considerations for ADHD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review behavioral and neurological evidence linking motor difficulties with ADHD.
  • To critique existing oversimplified theories on the ADHD-motor relationship.
  • To propose embodied theories of development as a more comprehensive framework.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of behavioral and neurological studies.
  • Analysis of existing theoretical models.
  • Integration of developmental psychology and neuroscience perspectives.

Main Results:

  • Current theories on the ADHD-motor link are insufficient.
  • Embodied theories provide a better mechanistic explanation.
  • Motor system, cognitive development, and functional impairment are interconnected in ADHD.

Conclusions:

  • Motor difficulties are integral to ADHD etiology and development.
  • Embodied perspectives offer novel insights into ADHD.
  • This integrated approach can inform ADHD identification and intervention strategies.
