Developmental coordination disorder, self-regulation, and executive functioning in preschool-aged children: Implications for research
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is one of the most prevalent childhood neurodevelopmental disorders and is characterized by impaired gross and fine motor skills (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). DCD has been linked to lower levels of physical and mental health, executive functioning (EF), and several self-regulation problems (for a review see Cairney et al., 2015), yet the data pertaining to preschool-aged children remains limited. Self-regulation broadly refers to the process of exerting control over one's thoughts, emotions or behaviours (Baumeister, 2014). Importantly, childhood self-regulation is predictive of several adaptive cognitive, physical and health related outcomes over the life course (Mischel et al., 2011). Participants (n = 211, 89 girls, Mage = 4.56±0.50 years) in the current study are part of a larger longitudinal study. Presently, 110 (76 boys) children are classified as at risk for DCD (DCDr). DCDr children were found to experience a greater amount of internalizing (e.g., emotional control; p = .001, d = 0.46) and externalizing (e.g., aggression; p Acknowledgments: This study is funded by the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR award #126015) and supported by a CIHR Postdoctoral Fellowship

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
