5. Quantifying Latent Social Motivation and Its Associations with Joint Attention and Language in Infants at High and Low Likelihood for Autism Spectrum Disorder

Author

Stallworthy, Isabella C., Berry, Daniel, Davis, Savannah, Wolff, Jason J., Burrows, Catherine A., Swanson, Meghan R., Grzadzinski, Rebecca L., Botteron, Kelly, Dager, Stephen R., Estes, Annette M., Schultz, Robert T., Piven, Joseph, Elison, Jed T., Pruett, John R., and Marrus, Natasha

Abstract

Social motivation--the psychobiological predisposition for social orienting, seeking social contact, and maintaining social interaction--manifests in early infancy and is hypothesized to be foundational for social communication development in typical and atypical populations. However, the lack of infant social-motivation measures has hindered delineation of associations between infant social motivation, other early-arising social abilities such as joint attention, and language outcomes. To investigate how infant social motivation contributes to joint attention and language, this study utilizes a mixed longitudinal sample of 741 infants at high (HL = 515) and low (LL = 226) likelihood for ASD. Using moderated nonlinear factor analysis (MNLFA), we incorporated items from parent-report measures to establish a novel latent factor model of infant social motivation that exhibits measurement invariance by age, sex, and familial ASD likelihood. We then examined developmental associations between 6- and 12-month social motivation, joint attention at 12-15 months, and language at 24 months of age. On average, greater social-motivation growth from 6-12 months was associated with greater initiating joint attention (IJA) and trend-level increases in sophistication of responding to joint attention (RJA). IJA and RJA were both positively associated with 24-month language abilities. There were no additional associations between social motivation and future language in our path model. These findings substantiate a novel, theoretically driven approach to modeling social motivation and suggest a developmental cascade through which social motivation impacts other foundational skills. These findings have implications for the timing and nature of intervention targets to support social communication development in infancy.

6. Sensitive Caregiving and Reward Responsivity: A Novel Mechanism Linking Parenting and Executive Functions Development in Early Childhood

Author

Werchan, Denise M., Ku, Seulki, Berry, Daniel, and Blair, Clancy

Abstract

Sensitive caregiving is an essential aspect of positive parenting that influences executive functions development, but the mechanisms underlying this association are less clear. Using data from the Family Life Project, a large prospective longitudinal sample of 1292 families residing in rural, predominately low-income communities, the current study examined whether sensitive caregiving impacts executive functions development by shaping behavioral reward processing systems in early postnatal life. Results indicated that higher levels of sensitive caregiving during infancy were associated with heightened reward responsivity at age 4, which in turn predicted superior executive functions ability at age 5. Notably, children's reward responsivity partially mediated the relationship between sensitive caregiving in infancy and executive functions ability at school entry. These findings add to prior work on early experience and children's executive functions and highlight caregiver scaffolding of developing reward processing systems as a potential foundational mechanism for supporting adaptive behavior and self-regulation across the lifespan.

15. Do More Hours in Center-Based Care Cause More Externalizing Problems? A Cross-National Replication Study

Author

Rey-Guerra, Catalina, Zachrisson, Henrik D., Dearing, Eric, Berry, Daniel, Kuger, Susanne, Burchinal, Margaret R., Naerde, Ane, van Huizen, Thomas, and Côté, Sylvana M.

Abstract

Whether high quantities of center-based care cause behavior problems is a controversial question. Studies using covariate adjustment for selection factors have detected relations between center care and behavior problems, but studies with stronger internal validity less often find such evidence. We examined whether within-child changes in hours in center-based care predicted changes in externalizing problems in toddlers and preschoolers (N = 10,105; 49% female; data collection 1993-2012) in seven studies, including from Germany, Netherlands, Norway, two from Canada and two from the U.S. Race/ethnicity data were only collected in the United States (57% and 80% White; 42% and 13% African-American; 1.2% and 5% Latinx). Meta-analyses showed no association (r = 0.00, p = 0.88) between hours in center-based care and externalizing problems.

34. Dynamic Fluctuations in Maternal Cardiac Vagal Tone Moderate Moment-to-Moment Associations between Children's Negative Behavior and Maternal Emotional Support

Author

Ravindran, Niyantri, McElwain, Nancy L., Berry, Daniel, and Kramer, Laurie

Abstract

Our primary objective was to examine the extent to which moment-to-moment associations between preschool-aged children's behavior and maternal emotional support differed for mothers showing different levels of parasympathetic engagement. We used behavioral observations of maternal and child behavior and maternal changes in cardiac vagal tone assessed via respiratory sinus arrhythmia in 15-s intervals during a 5-min challenging puzzle task (N = 121 dyads; 65 girls, M[subscript age] = 4.42 years). Results from multilevel models showed that increases in children's defeat (e.g., frustration, task withdrawal) coupled with maternal vagal augmentation (an index of social engagement) in a given 15-s interval predicted increases in maternal support in the next interval, whereas increases in children's defeat coupled with maternal vagal withdrawal (an index of physiological arousal) in a given 15-s interval did not predict increases in maternal support. Findings suggest that vagal augmentation in mothers may operate together with fluctuations in children's negative behaviors to predict supportive parenting in real time.
