Background Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may experience difficulty adapting to daily life in a preschool or school settings and are likely to develop psychosomatic symptoms. For a better understanding of the difficulties experienced daily by preschool children and adolescents with ASD, this study investigated differences in eye gaze ...

Whereas we experience our body as a coherent volumetric object, the brain appears to maintain highly fragmented representations of individual body parts. Little is known about how body representations of hand size and shape are built and evolve during infancy and young adulthood. This study aimed to investigate the effect of hand side, handedness, ...

Ce travail a tenté de mieux comprendre les mécanismes cognitifs sous-jacents de l’acquisition du langage. Nous avons supposé qu’à côté des mécanismes d’apprentissage statistique, des mécanismes attentionnels et de mémoire de travail sont nécessaires pour qu’un nourrisson puisse sélectionner et maintenir dans la mémoire les informations pertinentes ...

Accurate assessment of the talo-crural (ankle) joint angle at physical examination is important for assessing extensibility of m. triceps surae (TS) in children with spastic cerebral paresis (SCP). The main aim of this study was to quantify foot flexibility during standardized measurements of TS muscle-tendon complex extensibility (i.e. based on fo...

Reading is a complex, multifactorial, and dynamic skill. Most of what we currently know about neural correlates underlying reading comes from studies carried out with adults. However, considering that adults are skilled readers, findings from these studies cannot be generalized to children who are still learning to read. The advancement of neuroima...

This chapter explores the history of the developmental sciences and their impact on the study of neurodevelopmental and cognitive disabilities from the start of the 20th century to the present day. It covers the origins of intelligence testing and developmental schedules and the importance of early laboratory testing on identifying the causes of de...

Motor development includes the evolution from reflexive to voluntary and goal-directed motor actions. These motor actions are never performed in isolation but always in a varying physical environment, often requiring object and social interaction. For a child to function within this context, they require the ability to demonstrate skillful, efficie...

Olfactory adaptation is an important process that allows the individual to adjust to changes in the environment. This process has been proposed to be aberrant in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, few studies have examined olfactory adaptation in children with ASD. We examined olfactory adaptation in children with ASD and ty...

Centre of Pressure (CoP) location error is common when using kinematic and kinetic data to predict intersegmental forces and net joint moments during gait. Changes in peak moments due to CoP error have been reported in the literature. However, debate exists as to what levels of error are acceptable. The aim of this study was to examine the impact o...
