Total Test

The Children's Embedded Figures Test was used to document field dependency among a group of 60 young French-Canadian hockey players enrolled in a structured ice hockey teaching program. The median age (8 yr., 4 mo.) was kept to form two age groups. Analysis of variance showed significant differences between age groups in total test scores and in both Tent and House series; the older children scored more field-independent.

The aim of the present study is to test two hypotheses, (1) Witkin and Goodenough's 1982 assumption that participation in a structured physical activity increases field-independence and (2) that subjects characterized by high field-independence would show greater gains than subjects with high field-dependence on ice hockey skills. An adaptation of Oltman, Raskin, and Witkin's Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT) was given to measure field-dependency and standardized tests were used to evaluate the players' skill. An experimental group of 26 boys ( M = 11.27 yr.) were members of an ice hockey training program; 18 boys of a control group ( M = 11.93 yr.) participated in no programmed physical activity. A pretest (field-dependency and skill) was administered 21 weeks prior to the posttest; no significant differences were found for scores on embedded figures between groups; Witkin and Goodenough's hypothesis was not supported, but field-independent subjects tended to learn more.

Two Age Groups

ABSTRACTIn order to examine whether children adjust their phonetic speech categories, children of two age groups, five-year-olds and eight-year-olds, were exposed to a video of a face saying /aba/ or /ada/ accompanied by an auditory ambiguous speech sound halfway between /b/ and /d/. The effect of exposure to these audiovisual stimuli was measured on subsequently delivered auditory-only speech identification trials. Results were compared to a control condition in which the audiovisual exposure stimuli contained non-ambiguous and congruent sounds /aba/ or /ada/. The older children learned to categorize the initially ambiguous speech sound in accord with the previously seen lip-read information (i.e. recalibration), but this was not the case for the younger age group. Moreover, all children displayed a tendency to report the stimulus that they were exposed to during the exposure phase. Methodological improvements for adjusting such a response bias are discussed.

Athletic Development

Physical conditioning is crucial in building motion skills if the coach wants to ensure long-term athletic development. The essence is that physical conditioning needs to be developed before the development of technical skills of sports movements at a much higher intensity at each stage of the multi-annual training process. The adult competition system and training programs are being imposed on young athletes, so the essential motion skills are not being learned (Grāvītis @ Luika, 2015). The lack of physical conditioning in teenage years is very often reflected in the most inappropriate moments of an athlete's career, at the elite level. Insufficient physical conditioning is a reason for the instability of motion skills and injuries in extreme physical and psychological loads. The amount of physical activity can be measured as a step count. The aim of the research is to assess physical fitness rate for children practicing basketball, football or ice hockey with EUROFIT test battery. The study included boys, 100 basketball players, 100 soccer players and 100 ice hockey players from Latvia who were born in 2002 and started training in their sport during at the ages from 7 to 9, collected data of their conditioning for five years, divided into three age groups. According to EUROFIT tests, it was concluded that the ice hockey players have the highest physical conditioning rates according to EUROFIT standard from the athletes analyzed, and the basketball players have the lowest physical conditioning rates in EUROFIT tests from the athletes analyzed. We can conclude that the results of hockey players are higher than the scores of basketball and soccer players because ice hockey players practice more frequently, and dryland training is strictly organized, they develop all motor abilities that is needed for successive training in basic drills on ice.

Background. This study aimed to evaluate Pediatric Appendicitis Score (PAS), diagnostic delay, and factors responsible for possible late diagnosis in children <4 years compared with older children who were operated on for suspected appendicitis.Method. 122 children, between 1 and 14 years, operated on with appendectomy for suspected appendicitis, were retrospectively analyzed. The cohort was divided into two age groups: ≥4 years (n=102) and <4 years (n=20).Results. The mean PAS was lower among the younger compared with the older patients (5.3 and 6.6, resp.;P=0.005), despite the fact that younger children had more severe appendicitis (75.0% and 33.3%, resp.;P=0.001). PAS had low sensitivity in both groups, with a significantly lower sensitivity among the younger patients. Parent and doctor delay were confirmed in children <4 years of age with appendicitis. PAS did not aid in patients with doctor delay. Parameters in patient history, symptoms, and abdominal examination were more diffuse in younger children.Conclusion. PAS should be used with caution when examining children younger than 4 years of age. Diffuse symptoms in younger children with acute appendicitis lead to delay and to later diagnosis and more complicated appendicitis.

Ice Hockey Injuries

Objectives: Female youth ice hockey players are an overlooked population. No national study has established incidence rates for injuries in female youth ice hockey. The objective of this study was to establish incidence rates by injury location, diagnosis, and mechanism of injury using USA Hockey sanctioned age divisions. Methods: The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) was queried for all ice hockey injuries (product code 1279) from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2016. Cases involving players over the age of 19 and males were excluded. Each injury’s narrative text field was reviewed to determine mechanism of injury. Data was analyzed using (IBM®, v24). Comparisons of incidence by age were made using student’s two sample t-test with 95% confidence interval. Trend analyses were performed using a linear regression. USA Hockey membership statistics were used to establish population at risk and calculate incidence rates. All incidence rates were reported per 10,000 person-years. Results: A total of 384 patients, representing an estimated 10,398 ice hockey-related injuries, presented to NEISS-participating United States emergency departments. During the study period, female youth ice hockey players increased significantly from 44,678 in 2007 to 57,792 in 2016 (p=3.9x10-5, R-squared=0.89, ß =0.94). The overall number of injuries, however, only slightly increased from 992 in 2007 to 1,042 in 2016 (p=ns). Thus, the incidence rate (IR) of injuries fell from 222.1 to 180.2 during the study period. The most commonly injured body parts were the head (n=3048, IR=554.5), trunk (n=1399, IR=256.4), knee (n=1127, IR=169), shoulder (n=704, IR=153.3) and ankle (n=591, IR=120.2). The most common diagnoses were strain/sprain (n=2002, IR=417.7), contusion (n=1877, IR= 348), internal organ injury (n=1863, IR=320), concussion (n=1112, IR=218) and fracture (n=1255, IR=202). The top mechanisms of injury were player-to-player contact (n= 3016, IR=535), falls (n=2249, IR=380.9), and contact with boards (n=942, IR=165.8). The incidence rate of injuries increased with age; The 0-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16 and 17-19 age divisions had IR’s of 24, 84, 226, 381, 360, and 750, respectively. The player-to-player mechanism of injury also increased with age. The largest IR gap between ages fell between the 11-12 and 13-14 age groups, similar to what has been observed in male ice hockey studies. Player-to-player contact is the leading mechanism of injury in all age groups except the 0-8 age group. Head injuries increased with age division: 0-8 (n=15, IR=1), 9-10 (n=153, IR=17.4), 11-12 (n=598, IR=67.2), 13-14 (n=885, IR=115.1), 15-16 (n=650, IR=121.6) and 17-19 (n=746, IR=232.2). The two most common diagnoses of head injuries were concussion (36%) and internal organ injury (61%), both of these diagnoses increasing with age. In fact, concussion diagnosis increased significantly between each age group (p<0.01). Conclusion: We established the first collection of injury incidence rates for female ice hockey gleaned from a national database. Though body checking is illegal at all levels of women’s ice hockey, player-to-player contact prevailed as the leading mechanism of injury in all but the 0-8 age division. It was also the leading mechanism for the most common injury sites, including the head. This study laid bare an unspoken but long understood fact of the girl’s game that body checking is common and major contributor to the game’s injury burden.

Heritage language speaking children often show signs of attrition, particularly as they get older and are educated in the majority language of the society where they live. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that simplification is one process of attrition for heritage language speakers. We tested this hypothesis on the expression of motion events among children who are first language speakers of Mandarin Chinese and early second language speakers of English, the majority language in this community. We compared their motion expressions to those of monolingual Mandarin-speaking children living in mainland China. Two age groups were included: younger children (4-6 years, not yet in school) and older children (8-10 years; in school for two to five years). The children watched a cartoon and recounted the story. We coded the motion expressions used in their retellings. The results showed that the older bilingual children showed clear signs of attrition, particularly simplification, but also some signs of cross-linguistic influence from English. These results suggest that attrition in a heritage language can quickly follow the onset of schooling in the majority language.

This paper records the results of systematic pneumococcus typing over a 7-year period in children from 4 days to 12 years of age in the R.H.S.C., Glasgow. Strains typed include those from respiratory tract lesions, from pus in middle ears, meninges, joints, serous sacs and miscellaneous purulent foci. A series of strains from normal throats serves for comparison.The constant prevalence year by year of types 6, 19, 1 and 23 in all types of disease is striking. On dividing the cases into those under and over 2 years, the incidence of type 1 in the older children is four times that in the younger group. Conversely in those over 2 the incidence of the higher types (21–32) is only half that in the younger patients. No other significant difference in type distribution is observed on comparing the two age groups. Group IV pneumococci are commonly carried in the healthy nasopharynx, and are potential pathogens in young children in whom broncho pneumonia is generally an endogenous infection. There is evidence that the same type of pneumococcus frequently invades the entire respiratory tract and the middle ears. Only thirty of our cases were in the neonatal period and the apparent immunity of the newborn to the pneumococcus is discussed.

Art is a unique feature of human experience. It involves the complex interplay among stimuli, persons and contexts. Little is known of how the various features deemed important in art appreciation depend on development, thus are already present at a young age. Similarly to our previous approach with adults of differing levels of expertise, the present study uses structural equation modeling to explore this complex interplay by analyzing differences in the appreciation of classical, abstract and modern artworks by children of two age groups. We measured evaluations of perceived beauty, elicited emotions, arousal and understanding. Structural equation solutions for children not only revealed significant effects of emotion in all conditions, but also confirmed that the dependencies between emotion and liking were consistently higher for younger children, while the interactions of arousal and liking, as well as understanding, were higher for older children. These results are in accordance with a transition from an affective towards an increasingly cognitive knowledge based sense of aesthetics, but underline the importance of emotional processing as fundamental.

Functional performance tests provide quantitative information on specialized sport movements and are important for documenting training and fatigue. The single leg, medial countermovement jump provides objective measures of frontal plane force, velocity and power, and is relevant for ice hockey players given the similar lateral movement to ice skating. This study measured normative single leg, medial countermovement jump parameters (i.e., vertical and lateral maximum force, average concentric power and average concentric power during the last 100 ms) amongst male youth ice hockey players and assessed interlimb asymmetry in these healthy athletes. Ninety-one elite youth players participated in the study. Participants completed three right and three left jumps. Non-parametric tests were performed to evaluate between-jump and between-group comparisons. Many differences in jump force and power parameters were observed between the 10U/11U and 12U/13U age groups, and the 12U/13U and 14U/15U age groups, but differences were not as consistent between older or younger players. The average asymmetry index for each age group was less than 15% for force parameters, while the power parameters had larger asymmetry indices (between 9% and 22%). Our results provide age-specific reference values and asymmetry indices for male elite youth ice hockey players aged 10–18 years performing the single leg, medial countermovement jump.
