Developmental quotient to estimate intelligence in autism spectrum disorder.

Pediatrics international : official journal of the Japan Pediatric Society

Kawabe K, Kondo S, Matsumoto M, Seo K, Ochi M, Oka Y, Horiuchi F, Ueno SI.
PMID: 26933939

BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are characterized by persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction across contexts, and are associated with restricted patterns of behavior. The developmental quotient (DQ) is based on the developmental age and chronological age...

Who Are the Children Most Vulnerable to Social Exclusion? The Moderating Role of Self-Esteem, Popularity, and Nonverbal Intelligence on Cognitive Performance Following Social Exclusion.

Journal of abnormal child psychology

Tobia V, Riva P, Caprin C.
PMID: 27457234

Problems of "draw-a-person: a quantitative scoring system" (DAP:QSS) as a measure of intelligence.

Psychological reports

Troncone A.
PMID: 25350210
Psychol Rep. 2014 Oct;115(2):485-98. doi: 10.2466/03.04.PR0.115c25z8. Epub 2014 Oct 28.

There has been some ongoing debate on whether the DAP:QSS can be used to measure intelligence. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the concurrent validity of the DAP:QSS with Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices (RCPM) and the DAP:QSS's...

Assessing intelligence at autism diagnosis: mission impossible? Testability and cognitive profile of autistic preschoolers.

Journal of autism and developmental disorders

Courchesne V, Girard D, Jacques C, Soulières I.
PMID: 30361939
J Autism Dev Disord. 2019 Mar;49(3):845-856. doi: 10.1007/s10803-018-3786-4.

Intelligence in minimally verbal children on the autism spectrum (AS) is at risk of being underestimated. The present study investigated testability and cognitive profile of preschool autistic children using conventional tools and strength-informed tools. Fifty-two AS children and fifty-four...

The relationship between learning mathematics and general cognitive ability in primary school.

The British journal of developmental psychology

Cowan R, Hurry J, Midouhas E.
PMID: 28801949
Br J Dev Psychol. 2018 Jun;36(2):277-284. doi: 10.1111/bjdp.12200. Epub 2017 Aug 12.

Three relationships between learning mathematics and general cognitive ability have been hypothesized: The educational hypothesis that learning mathematics develops general cognitive skills, the psychometric hypothesis that differences in general cognitive ability cause differences in mathematical attainment, and the reciprocal...

Designing for development: Across the scales of time.

Developmental psychology

Cole M.
PMID: 27786525
Dev Psychol. 2016 Nov;52(11):1679-1689. doi: 10.1037/dev0000156.

This essay traces the history of an activity designed to promote the intellectual and social development of elementary-age schoolchildren during the afterschool hours. Following in the footsteps of Urie Bronfenbrenner, I highlight his argument that just as all human...

Can PEP-3 Provide a Cognitive Profile in Children with ASD? A Comparison Between the Developmental Ages of PEP-3 and IQ of Leiter-R.

Journal of applied research in intellectual disabilities : JARID

J Appl Res Intellect Disabil. 2016 Nov;29(6):566-573. doi: 10.1111/jar.12216. Epub 2015 Oct 06.

BACKGROUND: The assessment of the intelligence quotient (IQ) in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is important to plan a detailed therapeutic-educative programme. The aim of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of the Psychoeducational Profile-third edition (PEP-3)...

The paradox of intelligence: Heritability and malleability coexist in hidden gene-environment interplay.

Psychological bulletin

Sauce B, Matzel LD.
PMID: 29083200
Psychol Bull. 2018 Jan;144(1):26-47. doi: 10.1037/bul0000131. Epub 2017 Oct 30.

Intelligence can have an extremely high heritability, but also be malleable; a paradox that has been the source of continuous controversy. Here we attempt to clarify the issue, and advance a frequently overlooked solution to the paradox: Intelligence is...

Ignorance is strength: May human mind's unique capabilities stem from its limitations?.

Consciousness and cognition

Gurevich G.

Conscious Cogn. 2019 Mar;69:1-13. doi: 10.1016/j.concog.2019.01.009. Epub 2019 Jan 24.

Radical views on heuristics and biases, and more generally, non-optimal patterns of human judgement, construe them either as an unwelcome mental handicap or a great evolution-based advantage. A more moderate position recognizes both sides, depending on the context and...

Metacognition across domains: Is the association between arithmetic and metacognitive monitoring domain-specific?.

PloS one

Bellon E, Fias W, De Smedt B.
PMID: 32163453
PLoS One. 2020 Mar 12;15(3):e0229932. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0229932. eCollection 2020.

Metacognitive monitoring is a critical predictor of arithmetic in primary school. One outstanding question is whether this metacognitive monitoring is domain-specific or whether it reflects a more general performance monitoring process. To answer this conundrum, we investigated metacognitive monitoring...
