The relation between breastfeeding and childhood cognitive development was examined in 1991-1993 among 439 school-age children weighing <1,500 g when born in the United States between 1991 and 1993. Measures of cognitive function included overall intellectual function, verbal ability, visual-spatial and visual-motor skill, and memory. Higher test scores for each domain of cognitive function exc...

Abstract Objective Many have examined the relationship between intellectual functioning (IQ) and suicidality in children adolescents. However, no study to date has investigated how discrepancies verbal nonverbal IQ may influence suicide risk This used a sample of patients hospitalized on an adolescent psychiatric unit compare number lifetime attempts (SA) among those with ≥ 22-point difference ...

A meta-analysis of research on the relationship between inspection time (IT) and intelligence (IQ) was performed to: (1) determine whether a nonzero relationship between IT and IQ exists, (2) estimate the size of this relationship if it exists, and (3) test whether IT is ontogenetically related to g. Separate meta-analyses were initially conducted for results of studies using measures of genera...

Morphometric neuroimaging studies on healthy adult individuals regularly report a positive association between intelligence test performance (IQ) and structural properties of the corpus callosum (CC). At the same time, studies examining the effect of callosotomy on epilepsy patients report only negligible changes in IQ as result of the surgery, partially contradicting the findings of the morpho...

Clinical theory predicts that individuals high in psychopathic traits possess average or above average intelligence; however findings in adult and child samples have been mixed. The present study aimed to investigate (1) the relationship between verbal and nonverbal intelligence and the three dimensions of psychopathy (callous-unemotional (CU) traits, narcissism, impulsivity); and (2) whether t...

This study was designed to explore whether children's representations of attachment contribute to the co-construction of positive teacher-child relationships. An assessment of verbal intelligence was included as a predictor on the assumption that teachers might perceive themselves as having better relationships with more verbally competent children. Participants were 52 children from two pre-sc...

BACKGROUND Preterm (PT) children show early cognitive and language deficits and display altered cortical connectivity for language compared to term (T) children. Developmentally, functional connectivity networks become more segregated and integrated, through the weakening of short-range and strengthening of long-range connections. METHODS Longitudinal intrinsic connectivity distribution (ICD)...

UNLABELLED A prospective follow-up of very low birth weight infants (VLBW) with (n = 89) and without (n = 71) bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and Term control children (n = 93) was conducted at 8 years of age. Groups were compared on measures of articulation, receptive and expressive language, verbal and performance IQ, oral motor skills and gross and fine motor skills. The BPD group demonstra...
