Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As is well-known, cognitive, social, and emotional skills are widely studied with regard to both typical and atypical developmental profiles.
Scientific research has focused on an increasingly thorough analysis and understanding of these domains and their peculiarities, resulting in a growing interest in exploring all the possible overlaps among these domains, and in turn investigating their greater impact in terms of prevention, diagnosis, and intervention.
This is particularly true for a range of impairments, such as neurodevelopmental disorders, including learning disabilities and autistic spectrum disorders.
This Special Issue aims to collect works considering these aspects in terms of both specific domain differences and possible overlaps in order to disseminate the latest findings in this field.
Research articles concerning the following research topics (among others) will be considered:
- Typical and atypical development differences;
- Cognitive, social, and emotional domain-specific skills;
- Learning disabilities;
- Autism spectrum disorders;
- Domain-specific interventions;
- Domain overlaps in the diagnostic process;
- Domain overlaps in treatment and intervention.
We are inviting authors and research groups to submit original research, review articles, and commentaries on these topics for this Special Issue.
