We review the three prevailing approaches—specificity, cumulative risk, and dimensional models—to conceptualizing developmental consequences of early-life adversity address fundamental problems with characterization these frameworks in a recent Perspectives on Psychological Science piece by Smith Pollak. respond to concerns raised Pollak about models early experience highlight value for studying adversity. Basic dimensions proposed existing include threat/harshness, deprivation, unpredictability. These identify core that cut across categorical exposures have been focus specificity risk approaches (e.g., abuse, institutional rearing, chronic poverty); delineate aspects are likely influence brain behavioral development; afford hypotheses adaptive maladaptive responses different adversity; articulate specific mechanisms through which exert their influences, experience-driven plasticity within an evolutionary-developmental framework. In doing so, advance falsifiable hypotheses, grounded neurodevelopmental evolutionary principles, supported accumulating evidence provide fertile ground empirical studies

Significance This study demonstrates the causal impact of a poverty reduction intervention on early childhood brain activity. Data from Baby’s First Years study, randomized control trial, show that predictable, monthly unconditional cash transfer given to low-income families may have infant In context greater economic resources, children’s experiences changed, and their activity adapted those experiences. The resultant patterns been shown be associated with development subsequent cognitive skills.

Abstract Two extant frameworks – the harshness-unpredictability model and threat-deprivation attempt to explain which dimensions of adversity have distinct influences on development. These models address, respectively, why, based a history natural selection, development operates way it does across range environmental contexts, how neural mechanisms that underlie plasticity learning in response experiences influence brain Building these frameworks, we advance an integrated experience, focusing threat-based forms harshness, deprivation-based unpredictability. This makes clear why are inextricable and, together, essential understanding environment matter. Core integrative concepts include directedness learning, multiple levels developmental adaptation environment, tradeoffs between adaptive maladaptive responses adversity. The proposes proximal distal cues as well unpredictability those cues, calibrate both immediate rearing environments broader ecological current future. We highlight actionable directions for research needed investigate experience.

Abstract Developmental psychopathology is an integrative scientific discipline focused on individual biological and psychological adaptation maladaptation in the context of developmental change. owes emergence coalescence its framework to many historically based disciplines including, but not limited neuroscience, ethology, sociology, psychiatry, pediatrics, clinical, developmental, experimental physiological psychology. A analysis presupposes change novelty, highlights important role timing organization behavior, underscores multiple determinants, cautions against expecting invariant relations between causes outcomes. From a framework, mental disorders are conceived as being dynamic should be studied from interdisciplinary perspective levels approach. The continuation elaboration longitudinal studies within across interested typical atypical development only will enhance science psychopathology, also increase benefits derived for individuals with high-risk conditions or disorders, families, society whole.

Emerging evidence suggests that partially distinct mechanisms may underlie the association between different dimensions of early life adversity (ELA) and psychopathology in children adolescents. While there is minimal types ELA are associated with specific outcomes, unique cognitive socioemotional consequences increase transdiagnostic risk mental health problems across internalizing externalizing spectra. The current review provides an overview recent findings examining (e.g., language, executive function), attention bias, emotion regulation), correlates along threat/harshness, deprivation, unpredictability. We underscore similarities differences connecting to particular identify gaps future directions help clarify inconsistencies literature.

Socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with children's brain and behavioral development. Several theories propose that early experiences of adversity or low SES can alter the pace neurodevelopment during childhood adolescence. These make contrasting predictions about whether adverse are accelerated delayed neurodevelopment.

Despite evidence supporting a role for oxytocin (OT) in regulating social behavior, surprisingly little is known about how this neuropeptide calibrated during development. We systematically reviewed empirical studies humans (k = 86 publications reporting on 66 independent samples; N 7319) that examined associations between early-life stress and three OT system components: endogenous OT, methylation of the receptor gene (OXTRm), biological behavioral responses to intranasally administered OT. In series meta-analyses, we found some people who grew up under more adverse conditions tend have lower (children: r .12; adults: .09), early adversity associated with higher levels OXTRm (r .02), adults report childhood show positive .12). These results were typical populations, most cases absent clinical samples. discuss these findings terms both prevailing medical model (focusing harmful effects stress) adaptive calibration developmental adaptation biobehavioral systems conditions) suggest an adaptation-based approach could meaningfully advance research intervention sequelae adversity.

We present a hierarchical integrated model of self-regulation in which executive function is the cognitive component model, together with emotional, behavioral, physiological, and genetic components. These five components are reciprocally recursively related. The supported by empirical evidence, primarily from single longitudinal study good measurement at each level model. also find that consistent current thinking on related topics such as cybernetic theory, theory allostasis allostatic load, skill development harsh unpredictable environments, referred to “hidden talents.” Next, we literature integrative processes susceptible environmental adversity, poverty-related risk particular, while positive social interactions caregivers (e.g., maternal sensitivity) would promote self-regulatory or mitigate adverse effect early processes.

This can be an integral step provide children equitable opportunities thrive, even among living socioeconomically psychosocially disadvantaged environments.
