This study aimed to explore children's concepts of intelligence through ethnographic methods
Abstract:
Research has shown that by the time children are 11 or 12 years old, their beliefs about the nature of intelligence play a pivotal role in their achievement motivation. This article presents the findings of a qualitative study which aimed to explore the concepts of intelligence of fifth-class children (N = 19) in a designated disadvantaged Dublin school using ethnographic methods. The more...

The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of 39 pregnancies for congenital anomalies in 20 mothers with maternal phenylketonuria
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Maternal phenylketonuria (PKU) can result in multiple congenital anomalies. In Northern Ireland, the prevalence of PKU is relatively high at 1 in 4000. OBJECTIVE: To assess the outcome of 39 pregnancies in 20 mothers. RESULTS: Dietary control was established before conception in 17 pregnancies (44%). Five mothers with hyperphenylalaninaemia had 11 pregnancies. There were no more...

The aim of this study was to examine intelligence in DSM-IV combined type attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is predicted by either dopamine receptor/transporter genes or other previously identified risk alleles
Abstract:
A major goal of genetic studies of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is to identify individual characteristics that might help segregate the disorder's inherent heterogeneity. [Mill et al. (2006); Arch Ger Psychiatry 63:462-469] recently reported a potentially important association between two dopamine-related risk polymorphisms (DRD4 variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) more...

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship of the national IQs reported by Lynn & Vanhanen (2002, 2006) to national achievement in mathematics and science among 8th graders in 67 countries
Abstract:
This paper examines the relationship of the national IQs reported by Lynn & Vanhanen (2002, 2006) to national achievement in mathematics and science among 8th graders in 67 countries. The correlation between the two is 0.92 and is interpreted as establishing the validity of the national IQs. The correlation is so high that national IQs and educational achievement appear to be measures more...

The aim of the study was to compare neurologic and developmental disability at six years of age in infants born extremely preterm
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Birth before 26 weeks of gestation is associated with a high prevalence of neurologic and developmental disabilities in the infant during the first two years of life. METHODS: We studied at the time of early school age children who had been born at 25 or fewer completed weeks of gestation in the United Kingdom and Ireland in 1995. Each child had been evaluated at 30 months more...

The aim of the study was to examine the intellectual abilities of early-treated individuals with pyridoxine-nonresponsive homocystinuria due to cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency
Abstract:
The pathological sequelae of untreated homocystinuria due to cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency include ectopia lentis, osteoporosis, thromboembolic events and mental retardation. They occur at a significantly higher rate with poorer mental capabilities (mean IQ = 57) in the untreated pyridoxine-nonresponsive individuals. The mental capabilities of 23 pyridoxine-nonresponsive more...
