Developmental Time and Timing
Many theorists now believe that development emerges out of the coming together of multiple influences on the developing organism. To understand development, not only is it important to identify these influences, but it is necessary to describe their relationship to one another. In this dynamic view of development, emergent organization is the result of the components of development coming together. Timing is concerned with the relationship between components that have different rates of development. This book brings together the work of several investigators who have contributed to our understanding of the impact of timing on development through the examination of different functions and dif...

Cerebral Control of Speech and Limb Movements
Discussed in this book is the association between speech and movements, especially those of the preferred hand. Both are skilled motor activities that appear to depend upon a similar neural organization that is available in the left hemisphere of the brain. The nature of this association of the cerebral control of speech and skilled manual performance is discussed in four sections: 1. Motor control and speech examines speech as a motor activity2. Language and gesture examines the correspondence between spoken language and manual gesture3. Motor performance and aphasia examines the motor impairments associated with aphasias4. Interactions of speech and manual performance examines the interactions that occur between concurrent verbal and manual activities

Down Syndrome
People with Down Syndrome show a specific developmental profile with strengths in social understanding and visual learning and memory, and more difficulties with motor processes, speech and language, and auditory-vocal short-term memory. It is important that parents, practitioners and teachers know this and adapt interventions and educational approaches to take account of this particular profile. This is the only book to date that explains the developmental profile of people with Down Syndrome from its many different angles. It covers a range of perspectives, including the biology, psychology, speech and language, health care, and social competence of both children and adults with Down Syndrome. All the information is gathered and placed in the context of the neuro-genetic science that is developing around this area.
International Review of Research in Mental Retardation
International Review of Research in Developmental Disabilities is an ongoing scholarly look at research into the causes, effects, classification systems, syndromes, etc. of mental retardation. This thematic volume, "Health Issues in Down Syndrome," will cover health issues for individuals across the life span. With the life expectancy of individuals now reaching 60 years or more, it has transformed from an acute condition with a short life span to a chronic condition that needs to be managed over a close to normal life span. The extra chromosome 21 that defines most cases of Down syndrome affects the functioning of many biological processes and organ systems. The cascade of events triggered by the extra chromosome 21 creates a complex set of medical conditions needing to managed over the life span. The ability to manage these conditions has led to an improvement in longevity and quality of life for individuals with Down syndrome. - Provides the most recent scholarly research in the study of health issues in Down syndrome - A vast range of perspectives is offered, and many topics are covered - An excellent resource for academic researchers
