Aan het onderzoek hebben 446 mannelijke VMBO studenten in de leeftijd van 12 tot en met 16 jaar deelgenomen. De centrale onderzoeksvraag is onderzocht door middel van correlaties en regressieanalyses, uitgevoerd op data verkregen uit zelf- en ouderrapportages. De correlaties hebben de samenhang tussen de cognitieve problemen, psychosociale problemen en ouderlijke stress onderzocht. De uitkomst van deze correlaties ondersteunde de hypothese dat er een verband bestaat tussen deze drie factoren. Een multipele regressieanalyse analyseerde de voorspellende invloed van cognitieve problemen en psychosociale problemen op ouderlijke stress. Tot slot is met twee enkelvoudige regressieanalyses de voorspellende waarde van ouderlijke stress op cognitieve en psychosociale problemen vastgesteld. De resultaten van deze analyses gaven aan dat zowel cognitieve problemen, psychosociale problemen, als ouderlijke stress een voorspellende invloed hebben: Cognitieve en psychosociale problemen op ouderlijke stress en ouderlijke stress op cognitieve en psychosociale problemen. Geconcludeerd kan worden dat alle gevonden resultaten de hypothesen ondersteunen die er vanuit gaat dat er een wisselwerking tussen de verschillende componenten bestaat. Deze bevindingen komen overeen met de literatuur.Show less

The current study aimed to systematically address underlying mechanisms related to these difficulties by examining differences in executive functions of children with a SCT karyotype and typically developing children. Furthermore, we examined to what extent executive function deficits were related to higher autism traits. 135 boys and girls (M = 11.4, SD = .2) participated in this study, 85 typically developing children and 50 children with a SCT. We used computerized tasks, a questionnaire, and a verbal task to asses a wide range of executive functions. A questionnaire was used to address autism traits. Children with a SCT showed increased difficulties in encoding verbal information, cognitive flexibility, sustained attention, and more difficulties in executive functions during daily life compared to the typically developing children. Higher autism traits were associated with more difficulties in executive functions during daily life, cognitive flexibility, and encoding verbal information. This provides evidence for impairments in executive functions among individuals with a SCT of which some of them are related to increased difficulties in social functioning. Limitations and implications for future research are discussed.Show less

In order to do so, many different techniques have been used. Decorations and forms are examined and compared to those of other culture areas from the very beginning. Also, the function of the ceramics are researched. In later times the clay of which the ceramics are made itself is also examined and conclusions about provenience and links between different areas can be made. Although the methods that each author applies are different, the common thought in all of the research on polychrome ceramics from northern Gran Nicoya is the hypothesis that it is influenced by the Mesoamerican culture area to the North, more than the Peruvian culture area to the South. The main influence is thought to come from the Maya area and apart from that Aztec influences can be seen. The Mixteca-Puebla stylistic tradition has also left its mark on Nicaraguan ceramic styles. Other authors stress the high level of resemblance with ceramic types from Honduras and El Salvador. In spite of the many examples of influence from the North, Gran Nicoya has still developed in a rather isolated fashion. Therefore I think Gran Nicoya belongs to the periphery of Mesoamerica, just like Honduras and El Salvador, instead of being in the centre of its cultural influence. It is also generally accepted that the Nicarao and Chorotega came to Nicaragua in different migration waves. This is supported by archaeological as well as ethnographic evidence. Furthermore, a general theory of the history of archaeology is discussed which leads us to the conclusion that the historical approach to the study of ceramics provides a special vantage point from which subjectivities from different authors can be filtered out so a higher level of objectivity is achieved.Show less
