- 发展心理学 发展心理学
- 行为儿科 行为儿科
背景情况:
- 父母和孩子的饮食相似性是常见的,但在智力障碍 (ID) 的儿童中未得到充分探索.
- 食物选择性是ID儿童的父母的一个重要问题,可能会影响饮食模式.
- 了解不同发育群体之间的饮食相似性差异对于有针对性的干预至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 为了比较与典型发育 (TD) 的儿童,ID的儿童和ID和同时出现的自闭症 (ID+A) 的儿童之间的饮食相似性.
- 调查儿童食物选择性在饮食相似性的潜在群体间差异中的调解作用.
- 为改善发育障碍儿童营养摄入量的策略提供信息.
主要方法:
- 从3至8岁的儿童及其父母收集了饮食数据,并使用了食物频率问卷.
- 饮食相似性被量化为父母和孩子共享的食物中所消耗/不消耗的比例.
- 食物选择性通过食物拒绝率进行评估,并在母婴和父婴二合体中进行分析.
主要成果:
- 饮食的相似性在母婴二合一中没有区别,但在父婴二合一中较低,以拒绝食物为媒介.
- 与TD儿童相比,ID+A儿童的饮食相似性显著较低,在母婴和父婴双中.
- 对于ID+A儿童的饮食相似性的这些差异完全可以通过它们更高的食物选择性 (食物拒绝率) 来解释.
结论:
- 食物选择性显著减少了ID+A儿童的饮食相似性,这表明父母对他们的饮食习惯的影响减少了.

Intellectual Disability

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...

Environmental Influences on Intelligence

Despite the strong genetic influence on traits like intelligence, environmental factors significantly shape outcomes. For example, while over 90% of height variation is due to genetic differences, environmental factors such as nutrition also have a notable impact. Similarly, for intelligence, changes in a child's surroundings can significantly alter their IQ. Research shows that enriched environments boost children's academic success and help them develop key cognitive skills. Children...

Autism Spectrum Disorder

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.

Biological Influences on Intelligence
74
Intelligence is often thought to be linked to brain size, but the relationship is more complex than that. While brain size does correlate modestly with some abilities, like verbal skills, the connection is weaker for others, such as spatial reasoning. Other factors, like brain structure, also play crucial roles. For instance, despite Einstein's smaller-than-average brain, his parietal cortex, which is involved in spatial reasoning, was 15% wider, suggesting that neural density might matter...

Overview of Protein Metabolism

Proteins are broken down into amino acids during digestion. Unlike fats and carbohydrates, which are stored for later use, proteins are not. Instead, amino acids are either used to produce ATP through oxidation or contribute to the creation of new proteins for the growth and repair of the body. Any surplus amino acids from the diet are converted into glucose or triglycerides rather than excreted.
Amino acids play various roles in the body once they are absorbed into cells. They are restructured...

Learning Disabilities
84
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.
