TL;DR

Eye-tracking measures, especially those measuring social cognition (Happy task) were associated with early language, social-emotional, and general developmental outcomes at 18 months of age, and support further investigation of ET as a complimentary objective approach for early neurodevelopmental assessment.

Early spontaneous movements assessed by the Motor Optimality Score-Revised are associated with social referencing at 18 months in a community-based population.

OBJECTIVE Early spontaneous motor movements are important indicators of neurodevelopment. The Motor Optimality Score-Revised (MOS-R) is a detailed assessment of general movements during early infancy however, its association with later developmental characteristics in community-based populations remains unclear. We exp...

Using eye tracking to explore the relationship between autism traits, joint attention, cognition and adaptive functioning in preschool children

There is significant heterogeneity in clinical presentations, brain-imaging findings, and genetic underpinnings of autism. Autism traits, particularly social affect and joint attention, and related domains of adaptive functioning and cognitive development, are key characteristics in determining autism “profiles”. This...

Developmental milestones and resting-state functional connectivity: Shared and distinct associations with neurodevelopmental traits

Abstract Background Early motor and language milestones are key indicators of neurodevelopment, yet their associations with later autism traits and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms remain poorly understood. Neurobiological mechanisms linking early developmental delays to these conditions are not...

Associations of gross and fine motor development with attentional stability and breadth in preschool children: Behavioral and fNIRS evidence.

Motor development has been proposed as an important correlate of early cognitive development; however, its associations with attentional performance and related cortical activation remain incompletely understood in early childhood. This cross-sectional study examined associations between gross and fine motor developmen...

Developmental Trajectories of Executive Function From 2 to 13 Years in Children Born Very Preterm.

OBJECTIVE Children born very preterm (VP; <32 weeks' gestation) are at risk of executive function (EF) difficulties, yet limited longitudinal research has examined how these evolve from early childhood to adolescence for this population. This study described developmental trajectories of parent-reported EF from ages 2...

Associations Between Infant Motor Behaviour and Cognitive Functioning at Age 4-5.

AIM We investigated the relation between infant motor behaviour and cognitive functioning at 4-5 years of age. METHODS Based on a previous infancy assessment, we invited 369 children with atypical and 334 children with typical infant neurodevelopment at age 4-5. With multivariable regression, we investigated the asso...
