  • Hormonal (e.g. the effects of hypothyroidism occurring in an infant vs. an older child).
  • Toxic (e.g. the effects of toxic exposure to lead occurring in infancy vs. in late adolescence).
  • Trauma (e.g., home-based injury in infancy and early childhood vs. occupational and high risk-behavioural-based injury in adolescence; secondary psychological effects of traumatic injury may differ according to developmental period; psychological impact of an injury in an earlier developmental period may not become manifest until later developmental periods).
