Associations between birth weight and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptom severity: indirect effects via primary neuropsychological functions / Burt HATCH in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 55-4 (April 2014)

HALPERIN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.384-392 Mots-clés : ADHD  neuropsychology  birth weight Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has a range of aetiological origins which are associated with a number of disruptions in neuropsychological functioning. This study aimed to examine how low birth weight, a proxy measure for a range of environmental complications during gestation, predicted ADHD symptom severity in preschool-aged children indirectly via neuropsychological functioning. Methods A total of 197 preschool-aged children were recruited as part of a larger longitudinal study. Two neuropsychological factors were derived from NEPSY domain scores. One, referred to as ‘Primary Neuropsychological Function,’ was loaded highly with Sensorimotor and Visuospatial scores. The other, termed ‘Higher-Order Function’ was loaded highly with Language and Memory domain scores. Executive functioning split evenly across the two. Analyses examined whether these neuropsychological factors allowed for an indirect association between birth weight and ADHD symptom severity. Results As both factors were associated with symptom severity, only the Primary Neuropsychological Factor was associated with birth weight. Furthermore, birth weight was indirectly associated to symptom severity via this factor. Conclusions These data indicate that birth weight is indirectly associated with ADHD severity via disruption of neuropsychological functions that are more primary in function as opposed to functions that play a higher-order role in utilising and integrating the primary functions.

Mother–child dyadic synchrony is associated with better functioning in hyperactive/inattentive preschool children / Dione M. HEALEY in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 51-9 (September 2010)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 51-9 (September 2010) . - p.1058-1066 Titre : Mother–child dyadic synchrony is associated with better functioning in hyperactive/inattentive preschool children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Dione M. HEALEY, Auteur ; Susan B. CAMPBELL, Auteur ; Jeffrey M. HALPERIN, Auteur ; Chaya B. GOPIN, Auteur ; Bella R. GROSSMAN, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.1058-1066 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Parent–child-interactions ADHD functioning dyadic-synchrony Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background:  Hyperactive/inattentive (HI) behaviors are common in preschoolers, but they result in functional impairment and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnoses in only some children. We examined whether the quality of mother–child interaction accounts for variance in level of functioning among preschool children with elevated ADHD symptoms. Method:  Parent and teacher ADHD-RS ratings were used to assess 126 HI preschoolers, and clinician Children’s Global Assessment Scale (CGAS) ratings were used to quantify level of functioning. Mother–child interactions during a 5-minute free-play and a 5-minute structured task were coded for child, parent and dyadic behaviors. Results:  Partial correlations, controlling for symptom severity and IQ, revealed child and dyad factors that were related to children’s functioning. Regression analyses revealed that low dyadic synchrony accounted for additional unique variance in children’s functioning, above and beyond the influence of symptom severity and IQ. Conclusions:  Dyadic synchrony between mother and child plays a role in the functioning of preschool children displaying elevated symptoms of hyperactivity/inattention, and may represent a potential area for intervention that is not generally addressed in most parent management training programs.
