The first article I reviewed is an empirical study on motor functioning and developmental age of children with cerebral palsy. A total of 107 children were studied, with an average age between 2 and a half and 6 and a half years. The idea of ​​this study was to see if there was a significant difference between the children's calendar age and their developmental age, the children were tested using the Denver II test, which tests children's language and motor skills . Cerebral palsy is the most common disability affecting children: nearly 2 in 1,000 (clinical) births have been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. It is a disorder that affects children's motor function and sometimes a child's cognitive or developmental functioning, i.e. language or sensory functions, due to some more extreme cases where children have lesions in certain parts of the brain. Psychologists' reason for using the Denver II over any other developmental test is because the test also allows for testing of personal, social, and language development. They found that there was a significant difference between the children's developmental age and their calendar age, and that the cognitive and behavioral abilities of children with cerebral palsy (with hindered language development) were lower than children with impaired language development. normal. Language development in children also had no influence on the motor skills of the children studied. So basically the results showed that CP wasn't the only thing affecting the child's motor functions, some of the children tested also had other disorders associated with CP that were causing some of the motor and learning delay. Developmental age was much lower than calendar age in children, and the Denv...... middle of paper ......lities are about the same. Children with CP have difficulty making friends, and keeping friends is a problem, because they have different physical appearances and can be very superficial, which can lead to bullying. However, in a more recent study conducted in a mainstream school where physical deformities did not matter, it was the disruptive nature, low IQ and hyperactivity that caused the bullying and lack of friendships. Friendship may have a correlation not only with peer relationships, but may also benefit cognitive function, if children with CP have friends and participate in social learning in the classroom, children learn by imitating their classmates. But if a child, at an early age, is rejected by his classmates, this can cause a slowdown in cognitive development. With rejection, school seems less enjoyable, resulting in inn avoidance and overall lower grades.
