Development of Executive Functions Through Late Childhood and Adolescence in an Australian Sample
TLDR
The development of executive skills through late childhood and early adolescence is plotted and progress in these skills is interpreted with reference to current neurological and cognitive theory.

SOCIAL: an integrative framework for the development of social skills.
TLDR
A developmental biopsychosocial model (SOCIAL) is offered that incorporates the biological underpinnings and socio-cognitive skills that underlie social function, as well as the internal and external factors that mediate these skills.

Relationships Between Cognitive and Behavioral Measures of Executive Function in Children With Brain Disease
TLDR
Clinical validity was supported through significant between-group comparisons, especially between the frontal focal lesion group and other groups, and a dissociation was found between behavioral and cognitive impairments in the frontal as opposed to PKU and hydrocephalus groups.

Do children really recover better? Neurobehavioural plasticity after early brain insult.
TLDR
It is concluded that neither plasticity nor vulnerability theories are able to explain the range of functional outcomes from early brain insult, and where a child's outcome falls along a 'recovery continuum' depends on injury factors and environmental influences.

 Management of Pediatric Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Neuropsychological Review From Injury Through Recovery
TLDR
A clinical management model focused on both evaluation and intervention from the time of injury through recovery is proposed, with primary value in its potential to speed recovery, minimize distress during the recovery process, and reduce the number of individuals who subjectively experience longer lasting postconcussive problems.

Can we manage sport related concussion in children the same as in adults?
TLDR
There are a number of important anatomical, physiological, and behavioural differences between adults and children that suggest that adult guidelines will need to be either modified or rewritten to manage injuries in this age group.

Functional Plasticity or Vulnerability After Early Brain Injury?
TLDR
Findings support a “double-hazard” model for severe and early brain insults and add to the ongoing debate regarding cerebral plasticity, suggesting that, contrary to traditional views, young children who sustain severe TBI in early childhood or moderate or severe T BI in infancy may be particularly vulnerable to significant residual cognitive impairment.

Outcome and predictors of functional recovery 5 years following pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI).
TLDR
Children who sustain a severe TBI in early childhood are at greatest risk of long- term impairment in day-to-day skills in the long-term postinjury.

Understanding predictors of functional recovery and outcome 30 months following early childhood head injury.
TLDR
Children with more severe injuries and lower preinjury adaptive abilities, and whose families are coping poorly, are at greatest risk of long-term impairment in day-to-day skills, even several years postinjury.
