TL;DR: It is proposed, with evidence of the disturbances of posture, locomotion and prospective motor control in children with autism, that examination of the psychobiology of motor affective disorders, rather than later developing cognitive or linguistic ones, may facilitate early diagnosis.

TL;DR: Smart tablet computers with touch-sensitive screens and embedded inertial movement sensors were employed to record movement kinematics and gesture forces made by children 3–6 years old with autism and age- and gender-matched children developing typically, demonstrating autism can be computationally assessed by fun, smart device gameplay.

TL;DR: It is concluded that shared rituals of culture and practical techniques develop from a fundamental psycho-motor structure with its basic, vital impulses for action and generative process of thought-in-action that express an integrated, imaginative, and sociable Self.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss stress in intimate relationships and postnatal psychopathology and present a collection of contributions from international expert researchers and clinicians who bring together an array of interdisciplinary work to ascertain how multiple levels of analysis may influence individual differences, the continuity or discontinuity of patterns and the pathways by which the same developmental outcomes may be achieved.

TL;DR: The authors identify a structural continuity between the emergence of this earliest form of prospective movement and the structure of mental states as intentional or content-directed in more advanced forms, and claim the prospective structural continuity from early and simple actions to later complex projects of serially-ordered actions confirms the existence of an ontogenetically primary form of contentdirectedness.
