Social changes, including women's entry into the labour force and higher rates of divorce and remarriage, dramatically altered family life and raised complex questions about how individuals develop in the ever changing contexts of family, community and society. The goal of this 1989 volume is to enhance our understanding of human development in an evolving social context. Featuring contributions by eminent scholars in developmental, clinical and personality psychology, behavioural genetics and sociology, Persons in Context: Developmental Processes presents advances in theory and research on two central topics: how environments influence individuals in the course of development and how individuals select and shape the very environments that influence their development. The volume assembles a theoretically convergent body of research on how individuals and environments are linked in the course of development, including studies of genetics - environment relations, social interns, social interchanges in family systems, and linkages between the family and other major settings, such as peer groups, communities, and the larger social structure

Developmental needs of blind infants require additional training procedures that enlightened parents can provide if they are made aware of the needs before the child passes critical learning periods. Physical, cognitive-adaptive, and social-emotional needs are cited and suggestions for meeting these needs are presented.

It is frequently necessary to make comparisons between scales or items using some common items and measuring the same trait. A methodology to solve this problem is the Rasch equating procedure for comparisons between two or more test instruments, given that they measure the same construct and have some test items in common. This equating procedure was applied on two test instruments (Problemsolving Heft 17 and Heft 27) constructed on the basis of theoretical analyses of 12 of Piaget's classical experiments. The problem of the present study was to explore the magnitude of developmental changes from 10 to 14 years of age in Swedish school children. A common Rasch scale was developed consisting of 14 items out of which 10 items were common to both instruments and 4 items were age specific. When this common scale was applied to separate scaling of each test instrument on the two age groups, developmental changes of more than twice the standard error were found for each item. The order of the test items within the scales was, as expected, unchanged from 10 to 14 years of age except a minor change in two items. The relative difficulties of items within each sample and between the samples were examined. Comparisons between items representing the same Piagetian construct were analyzed in regard to the constructs "all other things being equal," equilibrium, proportionality, and reciprocal implication. Interpretations of possible explanations of the differences found are discussed.

This study analyzes how and to what extent South Korea has embedded developmental liberalism into its free trade agreement (FTA) initiative, departing from its traditional focus on developmental mercantilism. In the wake of the global economic crisis of 2008-09 and the subsequent expansion of government interventionism across the world, the developmental state model has attracted renewed scholarly attention. It offers a useful conceptual framework to examine how a particular set of arrangements between the competitive and uncompetitive sectors in South Korea has shifted from developmental mercantilism to developmental liberalism. South Korea`s FTA initiative constitutes a notable policy shift to liberalism, departing from a mercantilist approach with a policy mix of import protection and export promotion. It has been shaped by a top-down political initiative rather than a bottom-up demand from business groups and the general public. Despite South Korea`s liberal but state-centric nature, its FTAs are closely embedded in its social fabric.

Views of the ethical treatment of persons with disabilities are changing rapidly. The fervently held goals of yesterday are often the rejected status quo of today. Bringing together behavioral psychologists, physicians, consumers, and advocates, this book deals with how things ought to be for persons with developmental disabilities. If you work with persons who have disabilities, you need this book.

AbstractDevelopmental dyslexia (DD) and developmental coordination disorder (DCD) are distinct diagnostic disorders. However, they also frequently co-occur and may share a common etiology. It was proposed conceptually a neural network framework that explains differences and commonalities between DD and DCD through impairments of distinct or intertwined cortico-subcortical connectivity pathways. The present study addressed this issue by exploring intrinsic cortico-striatal and cortico-cerebellar functional connectivity in a large (n = 136) resting-state fMRI cohort study of 8–12-year-old children with typical development and with DD and/or DCD. We delineated a set of cortico-subcortical functional circuits believed to be associated with the brain's main functions (visual, somatomotor, dorsal attention, ventral attention, limbic, frontoparietal control, and default-mode). Next, we assessed, using general linear and multiple kernel models, whether and which circuits distinguished between the groups. Findings revealed that somatomotor cortico-cerebellar and frontoparietal cortico-striatal circuits are affected in the presence of DCD, including abnormalities in cortico-cerebellar connections targeting motor-related regions and cortico-striatal connections mapping onto posterior parietal cortex. Thus, DCD but not DD may be considered as an impairment of cortico-subcortical functional circuits.

A potent combination of theory and practice, this new paperback edition addresses a variety of justice issues, such as whether prisoners with developmental disabilities are discriminated against, what form of sentencing should be applied to them, and appropriate assessment and treatment regimes. The second part of this book focuses on the practical application of theories considered in Part 1, and includes case studies and a list of resources for clinicians
