Developmental Trajectories in Primary Schoolchildren Using n-Back Task

Developmental Trajectories in Primary Schoolchildren Using n-Back Task

BACKGROUND Neuropsychological instruments to assess cognitive trajectories during childhood in epidemiological studies are needed. This would improve neurodevelopment characterization in order to identify its potential determinants. We aimed to study whether repeated measures of n-back, a working memory task, detect developmental trajectories in schoolchildren during a 1-year follow-up. METHO...

Using developmental trajectories to understand developmental disorders.

PURPOSE In this article, the authors present a tutorial on the use of developmental trajectories for studying language and cognitive impairments in developmental disorders and compare this method with the use of matching. METHOD The authors assess the strengths, limitations, and practical implications of each method. The contrast between the methodologies is highlighted using the example of d...

Temperamental predictors of developmental trajectories of inattention and hyperactivity–impulsivity problems in schoolchildren

BACKGROUND The current study aimed to examine the temperamental predictors of developmental trajectory subgroups of children's inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity problems through a short-term longitudinal study. METHODS Children (n = 1344) were divided into younger (age 6-8 years) and older (age 9-11 years) groups in order to observe changes in inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity...
