adaptive functioning
how effectively individuals cope with ordinary life demands and how capable they are of living independently and abiding by community standards
down syndrome
most common disorder resulting from chromosomal abnormalities
developmental-versus-difference controversy
do all children, regardless of intellectual impairments, progress through the same developmental milestones in a similar sequence, but at different rates
difference viewpoint
cognitive development of children with MR differs from that of children without MR in more than a developmental rate and upper limit
genotype
collection of genes that pertain to intelligence
phenotype
expression of genotype in environment, the gene-environment interaction
heritability
the proportion of the variation of a trait attributable to genetic influences in the population
nondisjunction
failure of the 21st pair of the mother's chromosomes to separate at meiosis
fragile-X syndrome
most common cause of inherited MR
Prader-Willi syndrome
complex genetic disorder that includes short stature, MR or learning disabilities, incomplete sexual development, low muscle tone, and an involuntary urge to eat constantly
Angelman syndrome
associated with MR that is usually moderate to severe; behavior characterized by ataxia (awkward gait), jerky movements, hand flapping, seizures, and absence of speech, large jaw and open mouthed expression
fetal alcohol syndrome
leading known cause of MR because of its clear link to intellectual impairment
self-instructional training
teaches children to use verbal cues to process information, which initially are taught by the therapist or teacher, to keep themselves on task and to remind themselves of how to approach a new task
metacognitive training
aka executive function training
expanded value of specific self-management skills by coordinating these skills across learning situations
residential care
out of home placement, which carries with it unique responsibilities of family members
inclusion movement
called for integration of individuals with disabilities in regular classroom settings, regardless of the severity of the disability
pervasive developmental disorders - PDDs
all characterized by significant impairments in social and communication skills and by stereotyped patterns of interests and behaviors
preservation of sameness
anxious and obsessive insistence on the maintenance of sameness in daily routines and activities, which no one but the child may disrupt
joint attention
ability to coordinate attention to a social partner and an object or event of a mutual interest
protoimperative gestures
gestures or vocalizations that are used to express needs
protodeclarative gestures
gestures or vocalization that direct the visual attention of other people to objects of shared interest
pragmatics
appropriate use of language in social and communicative contexts
self-stimulatory behaviors
stereotypes as well as repetitive body movements or movement of objects, i.e. hand flapping or pencil spinning
central coherence
strong tendency of humans to interpret stimuli in a relatively global way that takes the broader context into account; missing in autistic kids
discrete trial training
step-by-step approach to presenting a stimulus and requiring a specific response; type of training used on kids with autism
incidental training
attempts to strengthen behavior by capitalizing on naturally occurring opportunities; used on kids with autism
operant speech method
step-by-step approach that first increases child's vocalizations, then teaches imitation of sounds and words, the meanings of words, labeling objects, making verbal requests, and expressing desires
childhood disintegrative disorder (CDD)
prior to age 10 evidence a significant loss of previously acquired skills
pervasive developmental disorder, not otherwise specified PDD-NOS
children who display the social, communication, and behavioral impairments with PDD but do not meet criteria for other PDDs, schizophrenia or other disorders
communication deviance
a measure of interpersonal signs of attentional and thought disturbance; parents of kids with schizophrenia score higher in this than parents of non-schizophrenic kids
