Abstract

From the past to the future of developmental follow-up research developmental theory, prediction, and the developmental equation in follow-up research ecological perspectives on longitudinal follow-up studies developmental research in behavioural teratology - effects of prenatal alcohol exposure on child development health surveillance and the development of children early cognitive development and the contribution of peer interaction - a Piagetian view expanding the boundaries of evaluation - strategies for refining and evaluating ill-defined interventions developmental psychopathology and multiplex developmental disorder developmental follow-up strategies - assessing child psychopathology in developmental follow-up studies parents as scientific observers of their children's development assessment of cognitive and language functioning - a developmental perspective environmental issues in developmental follow-up research. Experimental design and data analysis: the special methodological problems of childhood developmental follow-up studies - focus on planning methodological considerations and strategies for studying the longterm follow-up of early intervention modeling duration and the timing of events - using survival analysis in longterm follow-up studies towards a developmental epidemiology developmental epidemiology child care and child development - the NICHD study of early child care.
