School well-being in primary school children with chronic illness. A prospective cohort study.

Background: Children with chronic illness perform poorer at school, and school well-being (SWB) may mediate this association. We investigated the association between chronic illness and three domains of SWB in children in first grade.

Methods: Data from a German population-based prospective cohort study were used.

Age at school entry and reported symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity in first graders: results of the prospective cohort study ikidS.

Young age at school entry (ASE) is related to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in higher grades. The reason for this association is unclear, but medical oversupply and stress-related factors are discussed. We aimed to investigate whether ASE is associated with reported symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity (ADH) already in first grade.

[Evaluation of the Language-related Domain of the Pediatric Developmental Screening Instrument for Preschool Health Examinations (SOPESS): Results from the Prospective Child Health Survey ikidS].

Purpose Of The Study: Developmental delays at school enrollment can affect early educational achievement. Thus, diagnosis and treatment prior to school entry are important. In Germany, SOPESS - a pediatric developmental screening instrument for preschool health examinations (PHE) - was introduced in several federal states.

Mental health problems and school performance in first graders: results of the prospective cohort study ikidS.

We aimed to estimate unbiased effects of mental health problems (MHPs) on school performance in first graders, with an emphasis on rigorous adjustment for potential confounders. A population-based prospective cohort study was performed in the area of Mainz-Bingen (Germany). In 2015, all preschoolers were approached, and the presence and type of MHP (externalising/internalising) and other physical chronic health conditions were identified by the preschool health examination and study-specific questionnaires.

Recommendation for ophthalmic care in German preschool health examination and its adherence: Results of the prospective cohort study ikidS.

Background: Each child in Germany undergoes a preschool health examination including vision screening and recommendations for further ophthalmic care. This study investigated the frequency of and adherence to these recommendations.

Methods: A population-based prospective cohort study was performed in the area of Mainz-Bingen (Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany).

Chronic health conditions and school performance in first graders: A prospective cohort study.

Objective: Children with chronic health conditions may perform poorer at school. Associations may be confounded by numerous social factors. We aimed to estimate the effects of a chronic health condition on overall school performance in first graders with an emphasis on rigorous adjustment for potential confounders.

Action-sentence compatibility: the role of action effects and timing.

Research on embodied approaches to language comprehension suggests that we understand linguistic descriptions of actions by mentally simulating these actions. Evidence is provided by the action-sentence compatibility effect (ACE) which shows that sensibility judgments for sentences are faster when the direction of the described action matches the response direction. In two experiments, we investigated whether the ACE relies on actions or on intended action effects.
