Topics include the effects of early experiences on adult relationships; new developments in neuroscience and genetics; attachment orientations and parenting; connections between attachment and psychopathology, as well as health outcomes; and the relationship of attachment theory and processes to clinical interventions.
Download or read book Primate Models of Children s Health and Developmental Disabilities written by Thomas Burbacher and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2011-10-10 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rate of neurodevelopmental disabilities, including autism, mental retardation, hearing loss and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is rising in the United States. Although estimates of the prevalence of these disorders vary, figures from the CDC indicate that 4% of all school age children are developmentally disabled. During infancy, many important milestones in behavioral development are shared between human and nonhuman primates. Learning more about the causes of abnormal development in monkeys has provided important insights into the mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental disabilities in human infants. This book documents the latest research not commonly found in other references, and provides a comprehensive look at the results from decades of work with nonhuman primates as it relates to child development and disability. Includes hot topics such as early chemical exposures, immunological influences on development, low birth weight, endocrine disrupters, pediatric AIDS, origin of childhood psychopathologies and assisted reproductive technology Represents the significant body of work accumulated since funding for research on developmental disabilities has increased substantially in recent years
Download or read book Leveraging Pervasive Data to Study and Support Mother infant Dyads in the Wild written by Xuewen Yao and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ubiquity of mobile devices and wearable sensors coupled with fast-evolving machine learning algorithms has transformed people's daily life, specifically in the healthcare domain. These advancements can be leveraged to not only detect and infer people's behavior patterns with great precision but also provide "just-in-time" support in a seamless, non-intrusive, and cost-effective fashion. The first year of a child's life is a particularly challenging period for the mother, and also a vital period for child developments. I hypothesize that pervasive data, such as motion, audio, text data, collected online or in people’s daily life, can be leveraged to provide support to postpartum women and their families in need in the wild. In my dissertation, I developed models that can detect two clinically-relevant parent and infant behaviors in naturalistic home interactions, namely, infant crying and parent holding. Traditional methods by developmental scientists rely heavily on behavioral observations and self-reported data while computer scientists build models using data collected in controlled environments, such as lab and hospital. These methods limit researchers’ understanding of the natural variation in mother-infant interactions across families, and its specific impacts on child development. In my work, I leveraged data collected in longitudinal home environments and built detection models that provide objective, unobtrusive, and continuous measurements of parent holding and infant crying with accuracy 0.870 and 0.613 respectively. Additionally, I evaluated both models based on assessment scenarios specific to developmental science such as event-based accuracy and contingency analysis. Another piece of my work focuses on using natural language processing to understand the experience of postpartum women experiencing or at risk of postpartum mood and anxiety disorders and to provide them with empathy in the form of a conversational agent, chatbot. Specifically, I collaborated with Postpartum Support International (PSI) and obtained text transcripts between trained volunteers and support seekers. After analyzing 7014 conversations using a combination of human annotations, dictionary models and unsupervised techniques, I find stark differences between the experiences of "distressed" and "healthy" mothers in psychological states, concerns, and goals. Additionally, incorporating the insights from the descriptive analysis as well as empathy and open questions, I designed, built, and evaluated three chatbots that accept open-ended user input to provide postpartum women with support

Download or read book Epigenetic pathways in PTSD how traumatic experiences leave their signature on the genome written by Tania L Roth and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2015-04-14 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research topic focuses on epigenetic components of PTSD. Epigenetic mechanisms are a class of molecular mechanisms by which environmental influences, including stress, can interact with the genome to have long-term consequences for brain plasticity and behavior. Articles herein include empirical reports and reviews that link stress and trauma with epigenetic alterations in humans and animal models of early- or later-life stress. Themes present throughout the collection include: DNA methylation is a useful biomarker of stress and treatment outcome in humans; epigenetic programming of stress-sensitive physiological systems early in development confers an enhanced risk on disease development upon re-exposure to trauma or stress; and, long-lived fear memories are associated with epigenetic alterations in fear memory and extinction brain circuitry.
