Statistical power in UK genetic syndrome research; evidence from studies of Down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome and Williams syndrome as model syndrome groups

Emily K. Farran, Sophia Alexiou, Henrik Danielsson, Camilla Orefice et autres

Research on genetic syndromes is vital to our understanding of how development unfolds, but the rarity of genetic syndromes can mean that studies are carried out with small sample sizes. Small sample sizes can reduce the statistical power of a study to …

“Shifting and sharing the power” in research: Views and perspectives on research priorities from the Down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome and Williams syndrome communities

Laura Cristescu, Elizabeth Pellicano, Jo Van Herwegen, Gaia Scerif et autres

Abstract People with intellectual disabilities and their communities are rarely involved in setting priorities for research. Our study addressed this gap through consultations with the UK communities of three genetic syndromes in which intellectual disabilities are common: Down syndrome (DS), Fragile X …

Associations between executive functions and number line estimation in children with genetic conditions and neurotypical children

Elisa Rossi, Silvia Lanfranchi, Jennifer C. Bullen, Zahra Siddiqui et autres

Number line estimation (NLE) is associated with mathematical competence (r = .443; Schneider et al., 2018), but the processes supporting performance on NLE tasks remain unclear. Schneider et al. (2018) argued that NLE draws on numerical magnitude representations as well as reference …

Convergence between task performance scores, researcher observations, and parent ratings of executive functions and emotion regulation in neurodiverse toddlers at 20 months.

Francesca Anderle, Devangi Maheshwari, Ailbhe McKinney, Caitlin Croke et autres

Executive functions (EFs) are higher order cognitive skills that enable individuals to regulate impulses, retain information, filter out distractions, and shift attention in response to changing demands. Various measures have been developed to assess these functions in toddlers across different contexts. However, …

Mechanisms underpinning flourishing at the interface of humans and other natural entities: an umbrella review

Shannon Maloney, Thomas Henning, Haiou Zhu, Benjamin Martin et autres

Ecological-collective-flourishing (e-co-flourishing) describes the interconnected flourishing of human and non-human natural entities. Despite existing conceptual frameworks, translation into practice remains inadequate owing to insufficient synthesis of empirically tested mechanisms driving change across human and ecological systems. We conducted an umbrella review of …

Behaviour and neural oscillations differentiate physical and digital versions of the Corsi block tapping task

Sarah Zhang, Bethan Grimes, Ashley Alam, Anwen Gluyas et autres

With an increase in digital adaptations of neuropsychological assessments, it is imperative to investigate whether they are recruiting the same neurocognitive mechanisms as their physical counterparts. The present study focuses on the Corsi block-tapping task, a classic measure of visuospatial memory, to …

Assessing neurocognitive functioning among adults ageing with and without HIV at the Kenyan Coast: measurement issues and correlates

Patrick N. Mwangala, Carophine Nasambu, Ryan G. Wagner, Mihaela Duta et autres

Background: Cognitive impairment is one of the most prevalent complications of HIV infection, with significant medical and functional impacts. However, valid, and reliable assessment tools are lacking for the newly emergent ageing population of people living with HIV (PLWH) in many parts …

Neural bases of sustained attention during naturalistic parent-infant interactions

Giulia Serino, Aleksandra Anna Wiktoria Dopierała, C.‐K. James Shen, Denis Mareschal et autres

Sustained attention-the ability to maintain focus on a particular location or object for an extended period of time-is a fundamental skill during development. It enables the developing child to acquire information about their environment, facilitating information processing and supporting memory. Despite its …

Engaging Educators in the Codesign, Feasibility, and Implementation Quality of Early Years Interventions: The ONE Program

Rosie O'Connor, Sylvia Gattas, Emma Blakey, Carmel Brough et autres

ABSTRACT Giving practitioners a voice is essential in developing intervention programs that are adapted to educator and child needs. We aimed to do so by involving educators in the codesign of an intervention supporting early mathematical and executive development, to maximize feasibility …

Protocol for a feasibility randomized control trial of the Supporting Toddlers with a connection to autism or ADHD to develop Strong Attention, Regulation, and Thinking skills (START) programme

Alexandra Hendry, Maryna Nosyk, Victoria Hulks, Jemma Hudson et autres

BACKGROUND: Autism and ADHD are heritable, co-occurrent, and associated with difficulties with executive functioning (cognitive and self-regulation skills which enable us to set and work toward goals). Executive function difficulties, and their negative impacts across cognitive, health and social domains, extend to …
