Caregiving Quality Across Development and Secure Base Knowledge among Adolescents with a History of Institutional Care Open
Secure base scripts are implicit schemas that guide perceptions, responses, and interactions by encapsulating expectations of support from attachment figures during distress. The current study investigated the impact of early institutional…

Childhood behavioral inhibition and overcontrol: Risk for psychiatric and peer outcomes. Open
Behavioral inhibition (BI), a temperamental trait; the error-related negativity (ERN), a marker of performance monitoring measured via electroencephalogram; and overcontrol, a phenotype characterized by perfectionism and inflexibility, all…

Closed Neighborhood Balanced Coloring of Graphs Open
A coloring of the vertex set of a graph using the colors red and blue is a closed neighborhood balanced coloring if for each vertex there are an equal number of red and blue vertices in its closed neighborhood. A graph with such a coloring…

Adaptive functioning at age 18 years following severe early deprivation: Results of a randomized controlled trial. Open
In the present study, we examined adaptive functioning data from the Bucharest Early Intervention Project, a randomized controlled trial of foster care as an alternative to institutional care following exposure to severe psychosocial depri…

The epigenetic impacts of pubertal acceleration following early caregiver disruptions Open
A stable caregiving environment early in life is essential for children’s development, and disruptions have the potential to impact biological processes. Using data from the Bucharest Early Intervention Project, we examined a developmental…

Cash Transfers and Their Effect on Maternal and Young Children’s Health Open
Importance Mothers and children in low-income households are more likely to experience worse mental and physical health than those from higher-income households. Objective To determine the effect of 4 years of monthly unconditional cash tr…

Associations between infant behavioral inhibition and social error processing in adulthood – A preliminary study Open
High infant behavioral inhibition (BI) increases risk for social difficulties and anxiety, suggesting long-term consequences for adult socioemotional development. Infant BI and social anxiety also affect error processing. Whether this asso…

The roles of parental verbal communication and child characteristics in the transmission and maintenance of social fears Open
Background Although social anxiety runs in families, little is known about how parents and children contribute to the intergenerational transmission of social fears. We examined whether mothers transfer social fear beliefs to their childre…

A Research Note on Unconditional Cash Transfers and Fertility in the United States: New Causal Evidence Open
As cash transfer policies have gained traction in recent years, interest in how financial resources could impact fertility has also grown. Increasing an individual's purchasing power with additional economic resources, such as those provid…

Longitudinal changes in infant attention-related brain networks and fearful temperament Open
Anxiety disorders are hypothesized to stem in part from altered development of attention-related brain networks. These networks, including the dorsal attention network (DAN), frontal parietal network (FPN), salience network (SN), and defau…

Physical and neurophysiological maturation associated with <span>ADHD</span> among previously institutionalized children: a randomized controlled trial Open
Background Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental outcome among children with a history of early institutional care. Prior research on institutionalized children suggested that accelerated physical g…

Infants’ resting-state functional connectivity and event-related potentials: A multimodal approach to investigating the neural basis of infant novelty detection. Open
Individual differences in how the brain responds to novelty are present from infancy. A common method of studying novelty processing is through event-related potentials (ERPs). While ERPs possess millisecond precision, spatial resolution r…

An Evaluation of Borda Count Variations Using Ranked Choice Voting Data Open
The standard voting methods in the United States, plurality and ranked choice (or instant runoff) voting, are susceptible to significant voting failures. These flaws include Condorcet and majority failures as well as monotonicity and no-sh…

The Effect of a Monthly Unconditional Cash Transfer on Children’s Development at Four Years of Age: A Randomized Controlled Trial in the U.S. Open
Developmental differences between children growing up in poverty and their higher-income peers are frequently reported. However, the extent to which such differences are caused by differences in family income is unclear. To study the causa…

The impact of a monthly unconditional cash transfer on child brain activity: A 4-year follow-up Open
Early childhood poverty is associated with neurodevelopmental differences, but causal evidence linking income to brain development is sparse. In the present study, we examine whether four years of monthly unconditional cash transfers to mo…

From deconstruction to reconstruction: A search for natural kinds in developmental psychopathology. Open
A "natural kind" is a specific classification that identifies some structure of truth and reality, a delimited entity. Psychiatric disorders are not natural kinds. As one moves from physics and chemistry to biology and medicine, natural ki…
