TL;DR: Evidence that environmental chemicals, particularly polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and lead, are associated with deficits in many neurobehavioral functions that are also impaired in ADHD is presented.

Developments in young infants' reasoning about occluded objects.
Andrea Aguiar,Renée Baillargeon +1 more
TL;DR: A model of young infants' responses to occlusion events is provided, which shows that infants expect an object to become temporarily visible when passing behind an occluder with an opening extending from its lower edge and generates a two-object explanation when shown a violation.

Perseveration and problem solving in infancy.
Andrea Aguiar,Renée Baillargeon +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter summarizes research that has been conducted on the perservative responses of infants aged 6.5 to 11 months in a variety of tasks, and presents a model of infant perseveration in nonmemory-and-motor tasks, reviews evidence from support and containment tasks that supports this model, and examines how this model could be extended to account for infants' responses to events and problems.

TL;DR: Assessing whether accounting for sources of variability unrelated to exposure pathways would improve the reproducibility of urine concentrations of select phthalate metabolites and phenols found it did not, and the ability of a single sample to predict exposure based on average biomarker concentrations across pregnancy was not improved.
Associations of Maternal Stress, Prenatal Exposure to Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), and Demographic Risk Factors with Birth Outcomes and Offspring Neurodevelopment: An Overview of the ECHO.CA.IL Prospective Birth Cohorts.
