Clinically trained study personnel determined cognitive function using the Mullen Scales of Early Learning and adaptive function using the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales and retrospectively assessed developmental trajectory in all children with the Child Development Questionnaire (a subset of the Early Development Questionnaire) [ 28- 30].
Future studies that examine the developmental link between mental rotation abilities and numerical representation in young children, before and after formal education, might be able to assess the developmental trajectories of the mechanism that is proposed to underlie both skills.
This study assessed the developmental trajectory of the neural processing of 3 aspects of face processing from childhood through adulthood, and investigated whether these developmental effects in face-processing related brain activity were associated with changes in task perface-processing related age, or brain structure.
In our research project DINO we aim to assess the different developmental trajectories (biological, psychosocial -including disturbed eating behaviors- and cognitive) and family functioning and parental well-being.
While this is a valuable comparison for assessing underlying characteristics and possible developmental trajectories, it is less useful for examining differential conversion rates, since ' transition to psychosis' by those with UHR is essentially being compared with ' conversion to established psychosis' (generally schizophrenia) by those who already have a psychotic disorder.
Future investigations should aim to elucidate the developmental trajectories of structure and function, functionally assessing both receptive and expressive components independently.
Comparing adults with low literacy skills to children based on achievement level could allow one to assess differences in the developmental trajectory of acquiring morphological rules.
Together, these results support claims for separate developmental trajectories for fluid cognition and general intelligence as assessed by these psychometric subtests.
Based on this approach, we assessed mice performances within distinct subdomains of EF, and observed similarities with human developmental trajectories.
Early life predictors will be assessed using variables that have been measured repeatedly over the prior 20 years of the cohort to establish developmental trajectories for each phenotype.
Longitudinal studies prospectively assessing risk factors and antecedents for SSD and AP during childhood or early adolescence provide a particularly sound basis for delineating the developmental trajectories of each disorder, avoiding potential recall bias inherent in retrospective reporting [ 16].
