Journal ArticleDOI
Why IQ is not a covariate in cognitive studies of neurodevelopmental disorders.
Maureen Dennis,David J. Francis,Paul T. Cirino,Russell Schachar,Marcia A. Barnes,Jack M. Fletcher +5 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that it is misguided and generally unjustified to attempt to control for IQ differences by matching procedures or, more commonly, by using IQ scores as covariates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social Outcomes in Childhood Brain Disorder: A Heuristic Integration of Social Neuroscience and Developmental Psychology
Keith Owen Yeates,Erin D. Bigler,Maureen Dennis,Cynthia A. Gerhardt,Kenneth H. Rubin,Terry Stancin,H. Gerry Taylor,Kathryn Vannatta +7 more
TL;DR: The authors propose a heuristic model of the social outcomes of childhood brain disorder that draws on models and methods from both the emerging field of social cognitive neuroscience and the study of social competence in developmental psychology/psychopathology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inferential language in high-function children with autism.
TL;DR: The general hypothesis that high-function children with autism make some, but not all, of the pragmatic inferences necessary for successful communication, even when they have the ability to perform noninferential language tasks is explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spinal lesion level in spina bifida: A source of neural and cognitive heterogeneity
Jack M. Fletcher,Kim Copeland,Jon A. Frederick,Susan E. Blaser,Larry A. Kramer,Hope Northrup,H. Julia Hannay,Michael E. Brandt,David J. Francis,Grace Villarreal,James M. Drake,John P. Laurent,Irene Townsend,Susan Inwood,Amy Boudousquie,Maureen Dennis +15 more
TL;DR: A higher level of spinal lesion in SBM-H is a marker for more severe anomalous brain development, which is in turn associated with poorer neurobehavioral outcomes in a wide variety of domains that determine levels of independent functioning for these children at home and school.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of knowledge availability and knowledge accessibility on coherence and elaborative inferencing in children from six to fifteen years of age
TL;DR: Two experiments are presented in which a novel knowledge base was acquired by 6- to 15-year-old children prior to hearing a multiepisode story, and where inferences from the story drew only on that knowledge base, providing evidence for the importance of knowledge accessibility in children's inferencing.
