Intellectual Disability01:29

Intellectual Disability

159
Intellectual disability (ID) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in intellectual and adaptive functioning that manifest during the developmental period. This condition encompasses challenges in reasoning, memory, problem-solving, and learning, accompanied by impairments in everyday life skills, such as communication, self-care, and social interactions. Intellectual disability affects approximately 1% of the population in the United States, impacting an estimated 5...

Learning Disabilities01:25

Learning Disabilities

271
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Introduction to Developmental Psychology

504
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...

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

289
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....

Oppositional Defiant Disorder01:30

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

137
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

152
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...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Developmental Biology
  • Clinical Genetics

Background:

  • Developmental delay affects children's progress across various domains.
  • Causes are diverse, including genetic, neurological, metabolic, and acquired factors.
  • Early identification and intervention are critical for optimal outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of recognizing and diagnosing developmental delay in children.
  • To outline the updated Dutch guideline for investigating the etiology of developmental delay and/or intellectual disability.
  • To emphasize the importance of multidisciplinary care and special-needs education.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical guidelines and literature on developmental delay.
  • Discussion of key considerations for history taking, physical examination, and developmental assessment.
  • Exploration of the differential diagnosis for developmental delay.
