Academic outcome in pediatric ischemic stroke.
Abstract An important cause of acquired brain injury in children, pediatric ischemic stroke can cause sequelae across a wide range of cognitive domains, including verbal reasoning and processing speed. As a result, survivors are especially vulnerable to academic difficulties and face unique challenges compared to their peers. Despite this knowledge, pediatric stroke remains an understudied neurological condition, and its impact on school functioning poorly understood. The present clinical study addressed academic outcome in this population using a multifaceted approach. Patients were recruited for participation fr...

Executive function following pediatric stroke. A systematic review.
DISCUSSION: Our results highlight the importance to assess EF following pediatric stroke. Early identification of difficulties in EF is crucial to provide adequate training to the children and to prevent the development of other correlated difficulties, such as behavioral problems or learning difficulties. Methodological issues regarding the heterogeneity of samples and measurement difficulties limit the conclusions that can be made about the clinical predictors of the outcomes. Studies are needed to better understand this aspect and to develop adequate EF interventions for children following stroke. PMID: 32969322 [P...

Learning and memory profiles in youth with perinatal stroke: a study of the Child and Adolescent Memory Profile (ChAMP)
This study sought to evaluate the clinical utility of the Child and Adolescent Memory Profile (ChAMP) in quantifying memory performance in youth with perinatal stroke. Children and adolescents aged 6-16 years old with a history of perinatal stroke (PS; n = 41) completed two subtests from the ChAMP (Lists and Objects). Age, sex, and ethnicity-matched healthy control (HC) data were obtained from the test publisher's standardization data set. Participants with a history of PS performed significantly worse (p < .05) with medium effect size (ƞp2 ≥ .06) than HC on the ChAMP Screening Index and on all ChAMP Lists and Object...

Learning to read Chinese: the roles of phonological awareness, paired –associate learning, and phonetic radical awareness
This study aimed to determine how Chinese children adapt to Chinese orthography –phonology correspondence by acquiring phonetic radical awareness (PRA). This study used two important Chinese encoding approaches (rote and orthographic approaches) as the developmental trajectory, in which the present study hypothesized that phonological awareness (PA) exerts not only a direct i nfluence on PRA but also an indirect influence through paired– associate learning (PAL). We also explored whether the association between PA and PAL is affected by the complexity of visual stimuli embedded in PAL. This study recruited 70 s-grade ...

How do movements to produce letters become automatic during writing acquisition? Investigating the development of motor anticipation
Learning how to write involves the automation of grapho-motor skills. One of the factors that determine automaticity is motor anticipation. This is the ability to write a letter while processing information on how to produce following letters. It is essential for writing fast and smoothly. We investigated how motor anticipation processes build up during the period of handwriting automation. Children aged 8, 9 and 10 years had to write two letters (ll, le, ln) in cursive writing on a digitizer. Motor anticipation referred to processing changes in size (ll vs. le) and rotation direction (le vs. ln) of the second letter while...
