Handedness in the mentally handicapped / M. BATHEJA in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 27-1 (February 1985)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 27-1 (February 1985) . - p.63-68 Titre : Handedness in the mentally handicapped Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : M. BATHEJA, Auteur ; I. C. MCMANUS, Auteur Année de publication : 1985 Article en page(s) : p.63-68 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The prevalence of left-handedness and the degree of handedness were examined in 130 normal and mentally handicapped pupils of both sexes, aged between seven and 18 years. Handedness was assessed by means of 10 performance items. The prevalence of left-handedness among normal pupils (10.6 per cent) was significantly lower than that for the mentally handicapped group (26.5 per cent). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of left-handedness between the mentally handicapped pupils with and without Down's syndrome. The degree of handedness was also reduced in the mentally handicapped group, but again there was no difference between those with and without Down's syndrome.

Higher cognitive ability buffers stress-related depressive symptoms in adolescent girls / Lucy RIGLIN in Development and Psychopathology, 28-1 (February 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 28-1 (February 2016) . - p.97-109 Titre : Higher cognitive ability buffers stress-related depressive symptoms in adolescent girls Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lucy RIGLIN, Auteur ; Stephan COLLISHAW, Auteur ; Katherine H. SHELTON, Auteur ; I. C. MCMANUS, Auteur ; Terry NG-KNIGHT, Auteur ; Ruth SELLERS, Auteur ; Ajay K. THAPAR, Auteur ; Norah FREDERICKSON, Auteur ; Frances RICE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.97-109 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Stress has been shown to have a causal effect on risk for depression. We investigated the role of cognitive ability as a moderator of the effect of stressful life events on depressive symptoms and whether this varied by gender. Data were analyzed in two adolescent data sets: one representative community sample aged 11–12 years (n = 460) and one at increased familial risk of depression aged 9–17 years (n = 335). In both data sets, a three-way interaction was found whereby for girls, but not boys, higher cognitive ability buffered the association between stress and greater depressive symptoms. The interaction was replicated when the outcome was a diagnosis of major depressive disorder. This buffering effect in girls was not attributable to coping efficacy. However, a small proportion of the variance was accounted for by sensitivity to environmental stressors. Results suggest that this moderating effect of cognitive ability in girls is largely attributable to greater available resources for cognitive operations that offer protection against stress-induced reductions in cognitive processing and cognitive control which in turn reduces the likelihood of depressive symptomatology.
