Abstract
ChatGPT, an advanced language generation model developed by OpenAI, has the potential to revolutionize healthcare delivery and support for individuals with various conditions, including Down syndrome. This article explores the applications of ChatGPT in assisting children with Down syndrome, highlighting the benefits it can bring to their education, social interaction, and overall well-being. While acknowledging the challenges and limitations, we examine how ChatGPT can be utilized as a valuable tool in enhancing the lives of these children, promoting their cognitive development, and supporting their unique needs.

Psychometric evaluation of a working memory assessment measure in young children with Down syndrome. RESEARCH IN DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES 2023; 139:104564. [PMID: 37451184 PMCID: PMC10528903 DOI: 10.1016/j.ridd.2023.104564] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2023] [Revised: 06/14/2023] [Accepted: 06/24/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Working memory involves the temporary storage and manipulation of information and is frequently an area of challenge for individuals with Down syndrome (DS). Despite the potential benefits of intervention, laboratory assessments of working memory that could capture intervention effects have not undergone rigorous evaluation for use with young children with DS. It is critical to evaluate assessments of working memory in young children with DS to ensure the reliable and accurate measurement of performance. AIM This study evaluated an adapted laboratory measure of working memory for young children with DS 2-8 years old. METHOD A self-ordered pointing task, the Garage Game, was administered to 78 children with DS (mean = 5.17 years; SD = 1.49). Adaptations were made to the task to minimize potential DS phenotype-related language and motor confounds. RESULTS Results indicate that the measure is feasible, scalable, and developmentally sensitive, with minimal floor and practice effects for this population within this chronological and developmental age range. CONCLUSION These findings demonstrate that the Garage Game is promising for use in studies of early working memory and treatment trials that aim to support the development of this critical dimension of executive functioning for children with DS.

Evaluating an adapted reverse categorisation task to assess cognitive flexibility in young children with Down syndrome. JOURNAL OF INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY RESEARCH : JIDR 2023. [PMID: 37221155 DOI: 10.1111/jir.13040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/14/2023] [Indexed: 05/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate measurement of cognitive skills is necessary to advance both developmental and intervention science for individuals with Down syndrome (DS). This study evaluated the feasibility, developmental sensitivity and preliminary reliability of a reverse categorisation measure designed to assess cognitive flexibility in young children with DS. METHODS Seventy-two children with DS ages 2.5-8 years completed an adapted version of a reverse categorisation task. Twenty-eight of the participants were assessed again 2 weeks later for retest reliability. RESULTS This adapted measure demonstrated adequate feasibility and developmental sensitivity, and preliminary evidence for test-retest reliability when administered to children with DS in this age range. CONCLUSIONS This adapted reverse categorisation measure may be useful for future developmental and treatment studies that target early foundations of cognitive flexibility in young children with DS. Additional recommendations for use of this measure are discussed.
