The current study sought to increase our understanding of the factors involved in the early vocabulary development of Australian Indigenous children.
This finding supports distinct cognitive profiles in ASD and SLI and may provide further evidence for distinct aetiological mechanisms in the two conditions.
It has been suggested that quantitative measures of differential hand skill or reaching preference may provide more valid measures than traditional...
This research explored the relationship between the broader autism phenotype (BAP) among parents, an index of genetic liability for ASD, and proband...
The emergence of language during the toddler period is one of the most striking accomplishments in young children's development.
Preliminary evidence suggests that prenatal testosterone exposure may be associated with language delay.
The current study sought to determine whether gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia are associated with neurocognitive outcomes in middle childhood.
To further explore the effect of disorder-associated genes on cognitive functions, we investigated whether they play a role in broader cognitive traits.
Communication impairments are a leading concern for parent caregivers of individuals with rare neurodevelopmental disorders. Clinical trials of disease modifying therapies require valid and responsive outcome measures that are relevant to individuals with RNDDs. Identifying and evaluating current psychometric properties for communication measures is a critical step towards the selection and use of appropriate instruments.
The number of words children produce (expressive vocabulary) and understand (receptive vocabulary) changes rapidly during early development, partially due to genetic factors. Here, we performed a meta-genome-wide association study of vocabulary acquisition and investigated polygenic overlap with literacy, cognition, developmental phenotypes, and neurodevelopmental conditions, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
