AbstractAdditive and bidirectional effects of executive control and hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis regulation on children's adjustment were examined, along with the effects of low income and cumulative risk on executive control and the HPA axis. The study utilized longitudinal data from a community sample of preschool age children (N = 306, 36–39 months at Time 1) whose families were recruited to overrepresent low-income contexts. We tested the effects of low income and cumulative risk on levels and growth of executive control and HPA axis regulation (diurnal cortisol level), the bidirectional effects of executive control and the HPA axis on each other, and their additive effects on children's adjustment problems, social competence and academic readiness. Low income predicted lower Time 4 executive control, and cumulative risk predicted lower Time 4 diurnal cortisol level. There was little evidence of bidirectional effects of executive control and diurnal cortisol. However, both executive control and diurnal cortisol predicted Time 4 adjustment, suggesting additive effects. There were indirect effects of income on all three adjustment outcomes through executive control, and of cumulative risk on adjustment problems and social competence through diurnal cortisol. The results provide evidence that executive control and diurnal cortisol additively predict children's adjustment and partially account for the effects of income and cumulative risk on adjustment.

Abstract Dysregulation in children's physiological stress systems is a key process linking early adversity to poor health and psychopathology. Thus, interventions that improve children's stress physiology may help prevent deleterious health outcomes. Reminiscing and Emotion Training (RET) is a brief relational intervention designed to improve maternal caregiving support by enhancing maltreating mothers’ capacity to reminisce with their young children. This study evaluated associations between maltreatment, intimate partner violence, and the RET intervention with changes in children's diurnal cortisol regulation across the 1 year following the intervention, and the extent to which improvements in maternal elaborative reminiscing differed between intervention groups and mediated change in children's physiological functioning. Participants were 237 children (aged 36 to 86 months) and their mothers. Results indicated that the RET intervention was associated with significant positive change in elaborative reminiscing, which was sustained over time. Mothers’ elaboration immediately after the intervention served as a mediator of RET's effects on improvements in children's diurnal cortisol regulation (steeper diurnal slopes) from baseline to 1 year following intervention. This suggests RET is effective in facilitating physiological regulation among maltreated children.

Abstract Objective Sickle-cell anemia is a leading congenital cause of stroke in childhood. Such strokes can lead to cognitive deficits, stroke in the prefrontal cortex leading to inattention, impulsivity, and poor executive control. This case study examines a 23-year-old African American male who suffered from a stroke in his prefrontal cortex at age 3. Neuroimaging confirmed stroke location, but the patient had an atypical pattern of reported cognitive deficits. Method The patient was assessed in an out-patient practice. The individual was assessed with a clinical interview and comprehensive Neuropsychological Battery. The battery included cognitive and psychological measures with free-standing and imbedded validity measures. Results Cognitive testing demonstrated significant impairment in visuospatial processing speed, visual abilities, and decision making and executive control. This pattern of impairment suggests that the patient is still suffering from his stroke, which likely damaged the connective tissue of the occipital and parietal lobes, and the prefrontal cortex. The patient was diagnosed with Mild Neurocognitive Disorder in perceptual-motor and executive functioning. Conclusions These results suggest that despite the neuroplastic abilities of the brain at early ages, the neurodevelopment of individuals who suffer from stroke in early childhood is likely to be altered and contributes to cognitive impairments in early adulthood. Long-term cognitive sequelae in the form of deficits in visual perceptual skills, suggest that frontal connections to other regions in the brain may be impacted. Therefore, this case highlights that even a localized stroke in a child can lead to broader deficits if that area of the brain interacts with other areas.
