Summary
Virtual parent-child interaction programs like PlayReadVIP can enhance cognitive stimulation in Brazilian families. Even three sessions improved reading activities, parental involvement, and responsivity in early childhood development.
Area of Science:
- Child Development
- Parenting Interventions
- Early Relational Health
Background:
- Parenting practices, including reading, teaching, and playing, are crucial for early relational health and long-term child development.
- Cognitive stimulation at home is a key factor in school readiness.
- Evidence-based parent-child interaction programs can positively impact these areas.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the association between participation in a virtual, Brazilian-adapted parent-child interaction program (PlayReadVIP) and changes in home cognitive stimulation.
- To assess the program's impact on specific aspects of cognitive stimulation, parental involvement, and responsivity.
Main Methods:
- A single-group pre- and post-intervention design was employed.
- 15 mother-child dyads with children aged 5-56 months participated.
- Parents were interviewed before and after three virtual sessions of PlayReadVIP to assess home cognitive stimulation.
Main Results:
- Significant increases in overall cognitive stimulation at home were observed post-intervention.
- Specific improvements were noted in reading activities, parental involvement in child development, and parental responsivity.
- Non-parametric analyses confirmed these positive changes (p < .05).
Conclusions:
- The virtual, Brazilian adaptation of the PlayReadVIP program shows potential benefits for families.
- Even a limited number of sessions can positively influence cognitive stimulation and parenting practices.
- Findings support the efficacy of adapted, accessible parent-child interaction programs for early development.

01:30Cognitive Development During Adulthood
757
Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

01:25Learning Disabilities
559
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.

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.

The development of self in children is deeply rooted in social interactions, mainly through stages of play and structured games. These stages, outlined by sociologist George Herbert Mead, illustrate how children progressively learn to understand and adopt social roles, forming a cohesive sense of self.The Play Stage: Imitation and Simple Role-TakingIn the early years of childhood, the play stage is characterized by imitative behavior, where children engage in role-playing based on familiar...
