Objectives: The prospective longitudinal Mannheim Study of Children at Risk followed the development of children from the age of 2 years up to the age of 8 years. Are there differences between the developmental risk load in toddlers (psychopathology, cognition, motor or neurological development. and educational differences) who suffer from a hyperactive disorder at age 8 and that of undisturbed children of the same age? Are there specific harbingers of hyperkinetic disorders for the group concerned? Methods: In terms of their developmental risk load at the age of 2 years, 26 primary school children with hyperkinetic disorders were compared to 241 healthy primary school children, as well as to 25 children of the same age with emotional disturbances and 30 children of the same age with socially disruptive behavior. Results: A significant combination of predictors of later hyperkinetic disorders at primary school age proved to be increased fidgetiness and irritability, as well as a reduced language comprehension, at the age of two. Conclusions: The predictive value of symptoms in early childhood for later hyperkinetic disorder in children of primaryschool age is higher than that of symptoms assessed in infancy, which although expected is without relevant specificity.
Objectives: Are there any differences (organic, psychosocial, psychopathological, cognitive or educational, respectively differences in the motor or neurological development) between infants who later on at the age of 8 years suffer from a hyperactive disorder and those who later on at the same age are undisturbed? Are there specific harbingers for hyperactive disorders in the group concerned? Methods: With regard to their developmental risk load at the age of 3 months, 26 primary school children with hyperactive disorders were compared with 241 healthy children, 25 children with emotional disturbances, and 30 children with socially disruptive behaviour, all of the same age. Results: Identified as the most important predictors for the onset of hyperactive disorders were a reduced birth weight, the mother's origin from a shattered family, early contact impairments on the part of the child, and the mother's neglect of the infant. Conclusions: Altogether, however, the prediction of later hyperactivity in primary school children on the basis of salient features in the infant children remains unsatisfactory and unspecific.
Ziel der Vorschultestbatterie ist es, Teilleistungsstörungen bereits vor Schulbeginn zu erkennen und damit einer frühzeitigen Förderung zuzuführen. Das diagnostische Vorgehen zeichnet sich durch eine hohe Durchführungsökonomie und einen breiten Anwendungs-bereich aus. Insgesamt werden bei Vierjährigen die allgemeine Intelligenz, die Artikulation, die expressive und die rezeptive Sprache sowie die Visuomotorik in 20 bis 25 Minuten erfasst, bei den Fünfjährigen kommen zusätzlich noch Prüfungen der Aufmerksamkeit hinzu, was die Durchführung um fünf bis zehn Minuten gegenüber den Vierjährigen verlängert. Die vorliegende Testbatterie kann auch im Rahmen von Schuleingangsuntersuchungen verlässlich eingesetzt werden.
