At 2;0, language skills were assessed with the Finnish long-form of the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory. At 11;0, reading fluency and reading comprehension were evaluated using the Finnish Primary School Reading Test. The language variables explained 32%-33% of the variance in reading comprehension at 11;0. No clear associations between early language and reading fluency were found. Early language had high specificity but low sensitivity for identifying weak reading comprehension at 11;0. The findings provide support for the continuum between early language and later reading comprehension in children born VP. Evaluating language skills at 2;0 provides important predictive insight into later reading comprehension. Validated parental-report instruments offer valuable data on the language skills of children born preterm at this age.

Prior literature has suggested that the assessment of emotion regulation may be helpful in the differential diagnosis of ADHD comorbidity. Thus, a primary goal of this study was to examine the clinical utility of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function, Second Edition (BRIEF2) Emotion Regulation Index (ERI) in detecting symptoms commonly comorbid with ADHD (i.e. disruptive and internalizing behaviors). This study also considered the extent to which the ERI may contribute to the overall detection of ADHD and comorbid symptoms, as compared to the BRIEF2 Behavior Regulation Index (BRI) and Cognitive Regulation Index (CRI). Archival data representing 211 male (n = 151) and female (n = 60) children ages 5 to 12 (M = 8.00, SD = 1.63) seen through a university-based ADHD Evaluation Clinic were used. Parent and teacher ratings were analyzed separately. Results revealed that the BRIEF2 ERI reliably detected the presence of ADHD comorbid symptomatology across informants. However, unlike select findings from the BRI and CRI, the ERI and its associated clinical scales did not differentiate between types of comorbidities. Overall, current data suggests that the ERI may make only a small contribution beyond what is already explained by the other two indexes on the BRIEF2 in the assessment of ADHD comorbidity. Nonetheless, from a transdiagnostic perspective, the BRIEF2 ERI clinical scales may provide helpful information for clinicians to help guide assessment and treatment recommendations.","PeriodicalId":9789,"journal":{"name":"Child Neuropsychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145191318","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}

This is a retrospective observational study of 189 patients with cCHD (age 5-18 years) who attended a neuropsychological evaluation through the Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Program. Results demonstrate that on average, children and adolescents with cCHD show relatively poorer performance on tasks of visual learning and memory and list learning and memory, skills with a higher executive burden, whereas there are no differences in story learning and memory compared to normative samples. Working memory is identified as the most consistent predictor of learning and memory. Medical variables also contribute to learning and memory at school age, whereas social determinants of health are less closely linked.

Furthermore, mothers rated executive function difficulties more severely on the BRIEF rating scale across all groups than fathers. These findings highlight the clinical utility of the BRIEF, particularly its Organization of Materials, Monitor, and Working Memory subscales, in detecting the co-occurrence of intellectual giftedness and ADHD in children with good sensitivity and specificity.

Longitudinal Item Response Theory (IRT) modeling was used to compare growth trajectories of motor skills between term and preterm infants. The moderating effects of biological sex on group differences also were examined. The main effect for term status was significant. Preterm infants exhibited slower rates of growth in motor ability over the first 12 months compared with term infants. Differences in rate of growth were significant by 6 months of age. In the term group only, females exhibited more rapid growth than males in motor ability. Findings indicate that caregiver report yields reliable estimates of growth in the latent trait of motor ability, with slower rate of growth in infants born preterm.
