Abstract
The authors propose a heuristic model of the social outcomes of childhood brain disorder that draws on models and methods from both the emerging field of social cognitive neuroscience and the study of social competence in developmental psychology/psychopathology. The heuristic model characterizes the relationships between social adjustment, peer interactions and relationships, social problem solving and communication, social-affective and cognitive-executive processes, and their neural substrates. The model is illustrated by research on a specific form of childhood brain disorder, traumatic brain injury. The heuristic model may promote research regarding the neural and cognitive-affective substrates of children’s social development. It also may engender more precise methods of measuring impairments and disabilities in children with brain disorder and suggest ways to promote their social adaptation.

Why Early Intervention Works: A Systems Perspective.

TL;DR: A systems perspective is put forward designed to place the many diverse conceptual and practice approaches and accomplishments in the early intervention field within a common framework and provide an understanding of why early intervention works when it does as well as establish a new assessment and intervention approach firmly grounded in developmental science.

In the eye of the beholder: Individual differences in perceived social isolation predict regional brain activation to social stimuli

TL;DR: It is shown that there are at least two neural mechanisms differentiating social perception in lonely and nonlonely young adults and that they are more likely to reflect spontaneously on the perspective of distressed others.

Anterior and middle cranial fossa in traumatic brain injury: relevant neuroanatomy and neuropathology in the study of neuropsychological outcome.

TL;DR: Three-dimensional image reconstruction with computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging is used to demonstrate the vulnerability of the frontal and temporal lobe regions of the brain and how neuropsychological deficits result from damage to these areas is discussed.

ASSESSMENT OF OUTCOME AFTER SEVERE BRAIN DAMAGE: A Practical Scale

TL;DR: In this article, a five-point scale is described, which includes death, persistent vegetative state, severe disability, moderate disability, and good recovery, and duration as well as intensity of disability should be included in an index of ill-health.
