Study Notes
Abnormal Psychology - 30-35
- Topic: Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Neurodevelopmental Disorders - Introduction
- Onset occurs in the developmental period, before school entry
- Characterized by developmental deficits impacting personal, social, academic, or occupational functioning
Neurodevelopmental Disorders - Range of Deficits
- Deficits range from specific learning limitations to executive function control issues, or broader impairments in social skills or intelligence
Neurodevelopmental Disorders - Intellectual Disability
- Deficits in general mental abilities: reasoning, problem-solving, planning, abstract thinking, judgment, academic learning, and learning from experience
- Results in impairments of adaptive functioning
- Adaptive functioning is the failure to meet standards of personal independence and social responsibility in one or more aspects of daily life
Neurodevelopmental Disorders - Intellectual Disability Aspects of Life
- Aspects include communication, social participation, academic and occupational functioning, personal independence at home, or in community settings
- Onset is during the developmental period
- Includes both intellectual and adaptive functioning deficits in conceptual, social, and practical domains
Neurodevelopmental Disorders - Intellectual Disability - Diagnostic Criteria
- Criterion 1: Deficits in intellectual functions that are confirmed through both clinical assessments and individualized, standardized intelligence tests
- Criterion 2: Deficits in adaptive functioning resulting in failure to meet developmental and sociocultural standards for personal independence and social responsibility
- Criterion 3: Without ongoing support, adaptive deficits limit functioning in one or more activities (e.g., communication, social participation, independent living) across multiple environments
Neurodevelopmental Disorders - Intellectual Disability - Severity Levels
- Severity levels (mild, moderate, severe, profound) are defined based on adaptive functioning
Neurodevelopmental Disorders - Global Developmental Delay
- Clinical severity level cannot be reliably assessed in early childhood (less than 5 years old)
- Characterized by an individual's failure to meet expected developmental milestones in multiple areas of intellectual functioning—often related to children too young for standardized testing.
- Requires reassessment after a period of time
Neurodevelopmental Disorders - Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction (e.g., social-emotional reciprocity, nonverbal communication, developing relationships)
- Restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities (e.g., stereotyped motor movements, use of objects, insistence on sameness, inflexible adherence to routines, restricted/fixated interests)
- These symptoms can show up in various intensities and forms
- Hyper- or hypo reactivity to sensory input or unusual interests in sensory aspects
- Specify current severity -Severity based on social communication impairments and restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior—symptoms should be present in early developmental period
- Symptoms must cause significant impairment in social, occupational, or other areas of current functioning; not better explained by intellectual disability or global developmental delay
- Specify if: with or without accompanying intellectual impairment, language impairment, associated with another medical or genetic condition or environmental factor
