TL;DR: In this paper, Maughan et al. looked at changes in practice in the same schools, and considered the possible links between some aspects of school management and outcomes for pupils.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the independent contributions made by symptom/behaviour counts, diagnosed conduct disorder, and social and family factors to the prediction of recorded criminality during two later periods (ages 17-21 and 22+), taking into account previous recorded criminality in each case.

TL;DR: This article explored the possibility that more complex aspects of desire (in which comparison of goals with outcomes is not a sufficient strategy) are not understood by children with autism and found that these children were specifically impaired in understanding desire satisfaction and desire change, when compared with children with mental handicap and normal 4-6-year olds.

TL;DR: For example, this article found that older adopted children from Romania were significantly more likely to find it difficult to talk about adoption than domestic adoptees, and to feel different from their adoptive families, but these differences were due to increased levels of difficulties within the older-placed Romanian group, rather than whether they were adopted internationally or domestically.

TL;DR: There were similar differences between the UK adoptee and the adoptees from Romania entering the UK after six months of age in major special educational provision and, again, the findings showed that the provision was in accord with research assessments of scholastic achievement.
