This study examined the effect of mothers' familiarity with a permutation task on the performance and monitoring of mother-child dyads during the solution of a cognitive task. In addition, the effect of mothers' familiarity with the task on children's independent performance on a similar task during a posttest was investigated. Forty dyads participated in the study. Half of the mothers were familiarized with the task during a pretest. Results indicated that mothers familiarized with the permutation task elicited higher level strategies during dyadic interaction. Task-familiar mothers also let children participate more extensively in the task solution and were more likely to explain strategies than task-unfamiliar mothers. Finally, children of task-familiar mothers were more likely to use systematic strategies at post-test.

BACKGROUND Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is a rare (1: 1 000 000) autosomal dominant congenital skeletal dysplasia characterized by widely patent calvarial sutures, clavicular hypoplasia, supernumerary teeth, and short stature. Only a minority of the cases are diagnosed early after birth. We present another case of proven CCD presenting with typical neonatal phenotype to promote awareness of this rare disorder.

This viewpoint reflects on our experience conducting over 7000 spirometry and impulse oscillometry (IOS) tests, sharing practical insights into achieving high success rates with young children. We emphasise the importance of creating a child-friendly, minimally stimulating environment, tailored communication using familiar and engaging language, and leveraging gamification and positive reinforcement.

The opioid crisis continues to escalate, disproportionately affecting women of reproductive age. Traditionally the first line of treatment for pregnant women with opioid use disorder is the mu-opioid receptor agonist methadone. However, in recent years, the use of buprenorphine as a replacement therapy has increased as it has fewer side-effects and longer duration of action.

It is under debate whether intersubjectivity-the capacity to experience a sense of togetherness around an action-is unique to humans. In humans, heavy tickling-a repeated body probing play that causes an automatic response including uncontrollable laughter (gargalesis)-has been linked to the emergence of intersubjectivity as it is aimed at making others laugh (self-generated responses are inhibited), it is often asymmetrical (older to younger subjects), and it elicits agent-dependent responses (pleasant/unpleasant depending on social bond). Intraspecific tickling and the related gargalesis response have been reported in humans, chimpanzees, and anecdotally in other great apes, potentially setting the line between hominids and other anthropoids.
