The capacity to reason about the false beliefs of others is classically considered benchmark for a fully fledged understanding mental lives others. Although much known developmental origins our others' beliefs, we still know less evolutionary this capacity. Here, examine whether non-human primates - specifically, rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) share achievement. We presented with looking-time measure belief understanding, one that had recently been developed use 15-month-old human infants....

Hypotheses concerning the biologic embedding of early adversity via developmental neuroplasticity mechanisms have been proposed on basis experimental studies in animals. However, no demonstrated a causal link between and neural development humans. Here, we present evidence from randomized controlled trial linking psychosocial deprivation childhood to changes cortical adolescence using longitudinal data Bucharest Early Intervention Project. Changes structure due randomization foster care were...

Diminished responsivity to reward incentives is a key contributor the social-communication problems seen in autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Social motivation theories suggest that individuals with ASD do not experience social interactions as rewarding, leading negative consequences for development of brain circuitry subserving information. In this study, we examined neural responses and non-social anticipation 35 typically developing young adults, examining modulation sensitivity by level...

Problems with reward system function have been posited as a primary difficulty in autism spectrum disorders. The current study examined an electrophysiological marker of feedback monitoring, the feedback-related negativity (FRN), during monetary task. advanced prior understanding by focusing exclusively on developmental sample, applying rigorous diagnostic characterization and introducing experimental paradigm providing more subtly different valence (reward versus non-reward instead...

Theory of mind (ToM), the capacity to reason about others' mental states, is central healthy social development. Neural mechanisms supporting ToM may contribute individual differences in children's cognitive behavior. Employing a false belief functional magnetic resonance imaging paradigm, we identified patterns neural activity and connectivity elicited by reasoning school-age children (N = 32, ages 9-13). Next, tested relations between these correlates everyday cognition. Several key nodes...

Children reared in institutions experience severe psychosocial deprivation, with lasting consequences for social and emotional development. This study evaluated growth trajectories of self-regulation from ages 8 to 16 among institutionally-reared children randomized foster care (foster group; FCG) or remain institutional (care as usual CAUG), compared a never-institutionalized group (NIG). We then tested developmental pathway by which reduces general psychopathology at FCG versus CAUG....

The prevalence of deformational plagiocephaly has risen dramatically in recent years, now affecting 15 percent or more infants. Prior research using developmental scales suggests that these children may be at elevated risk for delays. However, the low positive predictive value such instruments identifying long-term impairment, coupled with their poor reliability infants, warrants development methods to precisely measure brain function craniofacial patients. Event-related potentials offer a...

Parents have a vital influence over their child's chronic pain treatment and management. Graded exposure in vivo (GET) is emerging as promising intervention for youth with pain. Yet, little known about how parents perceive GET its impact on condition. This study aimed to characterize caregivers' experiences the course of using longitudinal coding thematic analysis parent narratives.Parent narratives 15 who participated pediatric (GET Living) were elicited from an unstructured dialogue at...

A hierarchical model of temporal dynamics was examined in adults (n = 34) and youth 46) across the stages face processing during perception static dynamic faces. Three ERP components (P100, N170, N250) spectral power mu range were extracted, corresponding to cognitive processing: low-level vision processing, structural encoding, higher-order action understanding. Youth exhibited similar yet distinct patterns such that earlier predicted later stages, directly indirectly. However, latent...
