Commentary: Modeling the malleable mental health trajectory – a commentary on Oldehinkel and Ormel (2023)
Open Access paper from the JCPP – ‘In their Annual Research Review, Oldehinkel & Ormel argue that psychological and psychiatric researchers should not only compare groups but also focus on the within-person variability using repeated measurements in longitudinal studies to advance our understanding of emotional and behavioral problems. I argue adopting such within-person approaches might also change how we think about causality and might lead us to more successful intervention research.’ Henning Tiemeier

We studied longitudinal associations between parent-rated core language and non-verbal socio-communicative abilities at 14 months of age, and decontextualized language use at 24 months of age in children with typical and elevated likelihood of ASD (total N = 303).” Maja Rudling (pic) et al.

Transdiagnostic profiles of behaviour and communication relate to academic and socioemotional functioning and neural white matter organisation
Open Access paper from the JCPP – “Behavioural and language difficulties co-occur in multiple neurodevelopmental conditions. Our understanding of these problems has arguably been slowed by an overreliance on study designs that compare diagnostic groups and fail to capture the overlap across different neurodevelopmental disorders and the heterogeneity within them”. Silvana Mareva (pic) et al.
