Background: Children with medical complexity (CMC) require complex care that parents must independently provide and manage when discharged home from hospital. It is important that parents are adequately prepared to safely transition home from hospital with their child.

Method: A synthesis of findings from research articles was conducted to map and summarize available evidence on CMC and their parents' experiences of discharge from hospital to home.

Towards a characterization of human spatial exploration behavior.

Behav Res Methods

January 2025

Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, University of Magdeburg, Leipziger Strasse 44, 39120, Magdeburg, Germany.

Spatial exploration is a complex behavior that can be used to gain information about developmental processes, personality traits, or mental disorders. Typically, this is done by analyzing movement throughout an unknown environment. However, in human research, until now there has been no overview on how to analyze movement trajectories with regard to exploration.

A beginner's guide to eye tracking for psycholinguistic studies of reading.

Behav Res Methods

January 2025

Department of Linguistics, University of Massachusetts, 650 North Pleasant Street, Amherst, MA, 01003, USA.

Eye tracking has been a popular methodology used to study the visual, cognitive, and linguistic processes underlying word recognition and sentence parsing during reading for several decades. However, the successful use of eye tracking requires researchers to make deliberate choices about how they apply this technique, and there is wide variability across labs and fields with respect to which choices are "standard." We aim to provide an easy-to-reference guideline that can help new researchers with their entrée into eye-tracking-while-reading research.

Validation of the Children's International Cognitive Ability Resource (Ch-ICAR).

Behav Res Methods

January 2025

Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, Department of Experimental Psychology, Ghent University, Henri Dunantlaan 2, 9000, Ghent, Belgium.

The International Cognitive Ability Resource, abbreviated ICAR, counters some of the practical problems researchers face when using good, but proprietary, licensed intelligence tests like the Wechsler tests, which include unfeasible administration times and financial costs. So far, ICAR has been validated for adolescents and adults in many countries, offering a viable test alternative for these populations. For use among children, however, the appropriateness of this resource was yet unknown.

Development and biomechanical evaluation of a 3D printed analogue of the human lumbar spine.

3D Print Med

January 2025

Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Research Lab, Department of Mechanical Engineering, McGill University, 845 Sherbrooke St. W (163), Montréal, QC, H3A 0C3, Canada.

Background: There exists a need for validated lumbar spine models in spine biomechanics research. Although cadaveric testing is the current gold standard for spinal implant development, it poses significant issues related to reliability and repeatability due to the wide variability in cadaveric physiologies. Moreover, there are increasing ethical concerns with human dissection practices.
