The aim of our study was 1) to adapt, 2) to evaluate the psychometric properties and 3) to standardize the HSCT into a French-school-aged pediatric population. We developed the Child-Hayling Test, a child adaptation of the adult French version of the HSCT. The reliability and validity of the Child-Hayling Test were then evaluated in a sample of 134 children aged 6-11 years. In the inhibition condition, children had lower response latency, as they get older. No effect of gender was observed. Reliability indices were low to moderate. Concerning the convergent and divergent validity, response latencies in the Child-Hayling Test correlated with latency scores in the Barre-Joe inhibition test, whereas the Child-Hayling Test scores were not related to children's lexical abilities. The Child-Hayling Test was then administered to 393 typically developing 6- to 11-year-old children. Normative data were calculated in the inhibition condition using a regression-based approach. Regression equations to calculate Z scores are provided for clinical use. In addition, we proposed a clear guideline on how to score children's inhibition responses. The Child-Hayling Test provides a useful tool for assessing prepotent response inhibition in children and can be recommended for use in clinical research and practice.","PeriodicalId":9789,"journal":{"name":"Child Neuropsychology","volume":" ","pages":"501-518"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142364568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To determine the underlying structure of K-NCQ, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were performed. Pearson's correlations were used to evaluate concurrent and convergent validity. We also explored known-group validity of K-NCQ by comparing the score of K-NCQ across the four risk stratified groups.

Exploratory factor analysis supported the five-factor structure within the original four-domains (factor 2 and factor 5 can be incorporated under emotional regulation domain), and confirmatory factor analysis supported the five-factor structure, excluding one item with cross-loadings (item 8) within the original four domains, demonstrating a sufficient level of goodness-of-fit indices (comparative fit index = 0.926, root mean square error of approximation = 0.045). The K-NCQ demonstrated high internal consistency (α = 0.91 for the total scale and α = 0.74-0.89 for each subdomain).

Its impact on children's cognitive outcomes remains poorly understood but is a growing area of interest due to potential long-term implications. A systematic PubMed search was conducted to identify English-language studies that assessed cognition in individuals under 18 with MOGAD using neuropsychological tests, screening tools, or questionnaires. Children with MOGAD, particularly those with phenotypes such as AcuteDisseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) and Neuromyelitis Optica SpectrumDisorder (NMOSD), often exhibit impairments in intellectual functioning, memory, processing speed, and working memory. However, some children maintain cognitive performance within the normal range. Cognitive difficulties are linked to disease relapses and may develop over time, although brain lesions do not consistently correlate with cognitive outcomes. Current studies, limited by small sample sizes, indicate that children with MOGAD are at risk for cognitive impairments. Regular neuropsychological monitoring is essential for pediatric MOGADpatients to identify and address cognitive challenges early, mitigating risks of academic and occupational underachievement.

The task indicated acceptable internal consistency, interrater agreement, and test-retest stability. For construct validity, the HTKS was significantly related to other performance-based measures of EF, tapping into working memory, cognitive flexibility, and planning skills after controlling for child's age, gender, parental education, and city.

Participants were 84 adolescents, aged 11-17 (M = 13.39, SD = 1.82), recruited as part of a larger study. Separate moderated multiple regression models were utilized in which neurocognitive variables (intellectual functioning, short-term memory/attention, disinhibition) were added as predictors and contextual variables (family dysfunction and parental depression, anxiety, and stress) were added as moderators in step 1, and their interaction was added in step 2. Externalizing behaviors served as criterion variables (hyperactivity/impulsivity and oppositional defiant disorder symptom severity, reactive and proactive aggression). Overall, results suggest that higher levels of problematic contextual factors exacerbate the significant negative associations among neurocognitive functioning and externalizing behaviors. Importantly, this pattern was shown across neurocognitive domains and contextual factors. Findings suggest that contextual factors should be targeted for the treatment or prevention of youth externalizing behaviors, particularly for adolescents with neurocognitive vulnerabilities.","PeriodicalId":9789,"journal":{"name":"Child Neuropsychology","volume":" ","pages":"346-370"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141787282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

TooN is a computerized tool that includes 120 trials in which children must press a button as soon as possible when an object appears on the right or left side of the screen. Each object is preceded by a video of a model gazing and/or pointing to the side where the object appears (i.e. congruent condition) or the opposite side (i.e. incongruent condition). Linear regression analyses were conducted for reaction times (RTs) and for gaze and pointing cuing effects (i.e. the difference between RTs in incongruent and congruent conditions). Regression analyses showed that age, sex and parental education significantly predicted RTs. Age and sex, but not parental education, were significant predictors of gaze cuing effects. However, age was the only significant predictor of pointing cuing effects. Based on these analyses, we provided the equations to calculate the z-scores for RTs and cuing effects. Accuracy scores, stratified by age and/or sex, are reported as percentiles. Based on the performances of typically developing children, we present the normative data of a new psychometric tool designed to assess nonverbal social cue-following.
