    This study analyses the feasibility and effectiveness of BabyMICARE, a manualised intervention programme aimed at improving the interactions between caregivers and infants and toddlers with Down syndrome. The programme’s goal is to enhance caregivers’ sensitivity and reduce directivity during early interactions, particularly during play and daily routines. A pre-test and post-test design was used with 40 dyads of infants with Down syndrome and their caregivers, who were divided into a control group (n = 20) and an intervention group (n = 20), based on baseline scores in key interaction subscales. Sessions were conducted over 10 weeks by trained psychologists. Parent-infant interaction was assessed using the MACI coding system, which measures aspects such as sensitive responsiveness, directivity and the level of reciprocity between the parent and the child. The programme showed high feasibility, with a 100% attendance rate but some rescheduling. Caregivers evaluated it positively. The intervention group demonstrated significant improvements in five of eight MACI scales, particularly in sensitive responsiveness and nondirectiveness, while no changes were observed in the control group. The results suggest that BabyMICARE is a feasible and effective intervention for promoting more responsive, less directive interactions, which may be crucial in fostering children’s development.

    ā€˜In academia there is still, at least in Latin America, the hegemony of men’: Interviews with researchers and activists on the androcentric and neoliberal logic of contemporary academia
    (SAGE Publications, 2026-02-04)

    This article presents the findings of a qualitative study. It explores the influence of an androcentric logic and a neoliberal logic on the production of knowledge in a highly feminised field. Based on interviews with feminist disability researchers and activists in Latin America, we identify three interconnected elements that condition their academic work. These elements are associated with the structural spheres of operation of university institutions. In these institutions, binary gendered practices are (re)produced through the division of labour and the operation of a masculine rationality. There is also a disconnection between the processes of theorisation and the communities involved in them, along with practices of resistance and interruption of some of these dynamics. The results invite us to rethink academic practices from a feminist ethic of care and social justice, recognising and redistributing workloads, valuing emerging forms of knowledge at the frontier between academia and everyday life and contributing to the urgent call for a more inclusive and situated science committed to social transformation.

    <jats:p>ABSTRACT. The Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) is a screening test that measures executive functions. Although this instrument has been validated in several countries, its diagnostic utility in a Chilean population has not been studied yet. Objectives: This study aimed to (1) adapt FAB in a Chilean population; (2) study the psychometric properties of the FAB in a Chilean population; (3) assess the sociodemographic influence in the performance of the FAB in a sample of healthy controls (HC); and (4) develop normative data for this healthy group. Methods: A HC (n=344) and a group of patients with dementia (n=156) were assessed with the Chilean version of FAB. Results: FAB showed good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha=0.79) and acceptable validity based on the relationship with other variables. Factor analysis showed the unidimensionality of the instrument. Significant differences were found in the total FAB value between the HC and dementia groups. With the matched sample, the established cutoff point was 13.5, showing a sensitivity of 80.8% and a specificity of 90.4%. Regression analysis showed that education and age significantly predicted FAB performance in the healthy group. Finally, normative data are provided. Conclusions: This study shows that FAB is a useful tool to discriminate between healthy people and people with dementia. However, further studies are needed to explore the capacity of the instrument to characterize the dysexecutive syndrome in people with dementia in the Chilean population.</jats:p>
