  • Maternal Experiences of Trauma and Toddler Multisensory Attention Skills in a South African Community Cohort

    Open AccessYael Rayport, Yael K Rayport et al.ARTICLEInfancy2025

    Toddler visual attention development correlates with subsequent language, cognitive, and social developmental outcomes. This study investigates the association of maternal trauma on toddler looking behaviors in 39 mother‐child dyads from the Western Cape Province, South Africa. At 15 months postpartum, maternal trauma was assessed using the Life Events Checklist and toddler multisensory attention skills were measured using the Multisensory Attent…

  • Maternal Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) Moderates the Association Between Birth Weight and EEG Power in Healthy Term‐Age Newborns

    Open AccessLauren C Shuffrey, Nicolò Pini et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychobiology2025References: 58

    Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) affects around 10% of pregnancies in the United States and has been linked to neurodevelopmental sequelae in children. However, there is a paucity of studies investigating early‐life neural markers in GDM‐exposed infants. This study examined the association of GDM with relative EEG power among healthy term‐age neonates collected during natural sleep. Participants included a diverse cohort of 101 mothers (45% mu…

  • Maternal education prospectively predicts child neurocognitive function

    Open AccessSantiago Morales, Maureen E Bowers et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2024Cited by: 1References: 3

    A large body of research has established a relation between maternal education and children's neurocognitive functions, such as executive function and language. However, most studies have focused on early childhood and relatively few studies have examined associations with changes in maternal education over time. Consequently, it remains unclear if early maternal education is longitudinally related to neurocognitive functions in children, adolesc…

  • Association of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Perinatal Maternal Depression with Early Childhood Behavioral Problems

    Open AccessLauren C Shuffrey, Santiago Morales et al.ARTICLEChild Development2023

    This study examined the association of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), prenatal, and postnatal maternal depressive symptoms with externalizing, internalizing, and autism spectrum problems on the Preschool Child Behavior Checklist in 2379 children aged 4.12 ± 0.60 (48% female; 47% White, 32% Black, 15% Mixed Race, 4% Asian, <2% American Indian/Alaskan Native, <2% Native Hawaiian; 23% Hispanic). Data were collected from the NIH Environmental i…

  • Associations of adverse maternal experiences and diabetes on postnatal maternal depression and child social-emotional outcomes in a South African community cohort

    Open AccessYael Rayport, Ayesha Sania et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Previous literature has identified associations between diabetes during pregnancy and postnatal maternal depression. Both maternal conditions are associated with adverse consequences on childhood development. Despite an especially high prevalence of diabetes during pregnancy and maternal postnatal depression in low- and middle-income countries, related research predominates in high-income countries. In a South African cohort with or without diabe…
