A multidisciplinary team in Gothenburg, Sweden, assessed 24 individuals with SRS. Age-appropriate cognitive assessments were performed and autistic traits were assessed using parental questionnaires and medical records. Perceptual visual dysfunctions (PVDs) were compared with 112 matched controls from a previous study in Gothenburg. The median age was 9.3 years (range 3.4-17.1) at the cognitive assessment and 11.7 years (range 3.4-22.1) at the ophthalmological examination. Intelligence quotient (IQ) scores ranged from 66-142 and 9/24 scored below 85. Verbal-performance IQ discrepancies of ≥15 points were observed in 12/22 individuals. Six boys reached the Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire cutoff scores or had an established autism spectrum disorder diagnosis. PVDs were recorded in 5/21 individuals and 4/112 controls (p = 0.008). There were 10/16 patients with abnormal VEPs: three had PVDs and four showed verbal-performance IQ discrepancies. Most individuals with SRS showed normal overall IQ, but neurodevelopmental concerns, impaired visual perception and abnormal VEPs were common. Regular follow-up visits are recommended.","PeriodicalId":8047,"journal":{"name":"Applied Neuropsychology: Child","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149332101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

No systematic review has yet synthesized IC profiles across both disorders using standardized neuropsychological tasks in Western and Central European pediatric populations.Objectives: The objective of this study was to map IC deficits across four inhibitory domains in children and adolescents with ADHD and/or ASD. All cross-disorder observations reflect indirect comparisons from separate bodies of literature, as no included study directly compared both disorders within the same sample.Methods: PubMed and Scopus were systematically searched (2000-2025). Two independent reviewers screened 129 records following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. Quality was appraised using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) checklist. A narrative synthesis was conducted due to substantial heterogeneity across paradigms and populations.Results: Ten studies met inclusion criteria (7 ADHD, 3 ASD; N ≥ 667). ADHD was linked to response disinhibition, elevated reaction time (RT) variability, and impaired post-error adaptation. ASD showed difficulties in prepotent response suppression and self-monitoring, with motor inhibition largely preserved.Conclusions: The separate ADHD and ASD literatures suggest potentially different inhibitory profiles based on indirect evidence. These findings support multi-domain IC assessment and provide an empirical baseline for future cross-cultural research in non-Western populations.","PeriodicalId":8047,"journal":{"name":"Applied Neuropsychology: Child","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149294010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show strong connections between social media addiction, academic success, sleep, and mental health. The EDA reveals gender differences in usage, regional differences in platform preferences, and clear links between addiction and poorer sleep quality and mental health.

However, interpretable screening-oriented models remain limited by small samples, insufficient standardization, limited longitudinal evidence, and weak cross-school validation. This study proposes a simulation-based methodological framework for organizing and evaluating multidimensional cognitive indicators of Chinese developmental dyslexia. The framework integrates phonological processing, orthographic processing, attentional control, and working memory indicators within a feature-selection and explainable machine-learning pipeline combining statistical screening, LASSO-based embedded selection, ensemble-model importance analysis, and SHAP-based interpretation. Simulated experiments informed by prior empirical distributions were used to illustrate the pipeline's internal behavior, methodological coherence, and interpretability under predefined data-generating assumptions. The simulation reproduced expected risk-feature patterns, including the prominence of rapid automatized naming, phonological awareness, orthographic processing, and cognitive-control indicators. These patterns, however, reflect recovery of predefined simulation signals rather than independent empirical identification of dyslexia predictors. Similarly, the reported AUC values, SHAP rankings, and threshold estimates are simulation-internal results, not evidence of real-world screening accuracy, clinical utility, or school-based readiness. The study therefore provides an illustrative methodological framework, rather than validating a practical screening tool.","PeriodicalId":8047,"journal":{"name":"Applied Neuropsychology: Child","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149178915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Concussion mechanisms included sports, motor vehicle accidents, recreational activities, falls, assaults, and other mechanisms. Findings revealed approximately one-fourth of youth demonstrated non-credible cognitive performance. Compared to youth with credible cognitive performance, youth with non-credible cognitive performance were more likely to have premorbid attention or learning problems, non-credible neurologic exam findings, and significantly poorer cognitive performance across all tests apart from word reading. While youth with non-credible cognitive performance endorsed significantly more symptoms than those with credible cognitive performance at initial presentation and throughout the course of multidisciplinary treatment, their symptoms improved at a similar rate compared to those with credible cognitive performance. Additionally, groups did not differ significantly in school absences or parent-reported quality of life, despite higher self-reported symptom burden in the non-credible group. These findings suggest that youth with persisting symptoms who demonstrate non-credible cognitive performance similarly benefit from standard multidisciplinary concussion care, though they may continue to report higher symptoms throughout treatment.

The participants completed a mathematical problem-solving test and a Stroop interference task adapted for their age to assess interference inhibition time and number of errors. The results provided limited evidence of an association between inhibitory control and mathematical problem solving. Interference inhibition time was weakly associated with lower performance on difficult problems (r = -0.29, 95% CI [-0.50, -0.05]), but this relationship was no longer statistically significant after Holm correction (adjusted p = 0.076). No statistically significant association was found for simple problems, and the associations did not differ significantly between simple and difficult problems. These results suggest that the association between inhibitory control and mathematical problem solving was not strong in this sample. A sensitivity analysis indicated that the sample could reliably detect correlations of approximately r = 0.34 or larger, indicating limited sensitivity to weak associations.
