Mental and behavioural disorders (especially pervasive developmental disorders) and diseases of the ear and mastoid process (including hearing loss) were also relatively common.
We are aware that many of the children reported other problems, such as anxiety, behavioural problems, and pervasive development disorders, likely making them more impaired than individuals typically recruited for pharmacological trials; however, we did not have enough information to independently assess the impact of co-occurring diagnoses on treatment response.
Mental health and behavioural disorders (such as pervasive developmental disorders) and diseases of ear and mastoid process (such as hearing loss) were also relatively common (13.5 and 8.1% of all LLIs, respectively).
Family membership had pervasive effects on all three behaviours and on their ontogenetic trajectories, suggesting strong genetic or maternal components to behavioural variation.
A longstanding theory of OCD posits that inappropriate and exaggerated error signals lead to a pervasive sense of incompleteness and self-doubt and behavioural repetition represents a vain attempt to reduce these error signals (Pitman, 1987).
Childhood autism is a pervasive developmental disorder that affects children's social, communication and behavioural development.
We suggest that future research efforts consider information acquisition and decision-making under a broad range of ecological contexts and contingencies in light of the potential trade-offs between the behavioural and morphological outcomes of these processes and the pervasive vertebrate hemispheric specialization and expressed or masked side-biases.
Specifically, we argue that parents residing in legally cynical neighbourhoods which are characterized by pervasive views that legal recourse is inadequate will interpret their children's violent behaviour as rational, situated behavioural responses to precarious circumstances rather than as symptoms of trait-based predispositions.
Technological innovation has been pervasive and has touched almost every aspect of modern life, including the delivery of behavioural and mental heath care.
But given the pervasive negative impact of personality disorders on retention and outcome, clinicians need to adjust their treatment to the behavioural, cognitive and emotional problems that patients experience at an early stage in treatment, often before patients can even be detoxified.
