What do you think you're looking at? Investigating social cognition in young offenders
No full textAim: This small study was designed to assess the nature and severity of social-cognitive deficits in antisocial adolescents.
Method: Thirty-seven boys aged 15-18 from a Young Offenders Institute and Community College participated. They were asked to complete a test of general intellectual ability and self-rating of social competence as well as tasks from the Skuse Schedules for the Assessment of Social Intelligence.
Results: Young offenders were poor at recognizing the facial expression of anger, regardless of intellectual ability. They could not accurately identify the direction of another's eye gaze. Their performance on theory of mind tasks, however, was unimpaired.
Conclusion: These preliminary findings imply selective impairment in the cognitive appraisal of threat, which may contribute to social maladjustment. Further such study of social cognition among young offenders is indicated

Ecological and social correlates of maternal expenditure on infant growth in haplorhine primates
No full textOccurrence of immature Culicoides molestus (Skuse) (Diptera : Ceratopogonidae) in relation to habitat characteristics
No full textAnalysis of beach sites on the Gold Coast, Australia, found that 14 physical and chemical habitat characteristics differed significantly between sites where numerous immatures of the canal biting midge, Culicoides molestus (Skuse), were found and sites where no midge immatures occurred. Five of the chemical factors found to reliably distinguish C. molestus habitat are major components of seawater, while another, electrical conductivity, is related to the concentration of seawater components. Calcium was the only one of the six primary components of seawater that was not a statistically significant correlate of C. molestus habitation by sand analysis. It is likely that a causative variable in occurrence of immatures is the concentration of seawater present in canals, because larvae are found where seawater component concentration is low in relation to uninhabited sites of similar appearance
Specific language impairment
No full textThis chapter introduces the research literature on specific language impairment (SLI). We characterise the key features, causes and the major types of SLI, and how children with SLI may be identified and differentiated from children with other developmental disorders. We suggest that language comprehension is a key marker of concern in SLI. We show that SLI is a relatively stable condition in middle childhood. Growth trajectories of language abilities suggest that on average, children with SLI do not catch up with their typically developing peers nor do they fall further behind from middle childhood to adolescence. In contrast, other areas of functioning change over time, in particular nonverbal abilities and social skills. We discuss associated difficulties such as problems with literacy. We stress the need for the assessment of oral language beyond childhood
