Memory for Temporal Order in Action Is Slow Developing, Sensitive to Deviant Input, and Supported by Foundational Cognitive Processes
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Loucks, Jeff; Price, Heather L. – Developmental Psychology, 2019
Executing actions in a specific order is a critical component of many action sequences that children must acquire, the majority of which are learned through observation and imitation of others. Although a wealth of evidence indicates that children can process and represent temporal order in memory, relatively little is known about the development…

Does Language Help Regularity Learning? The Influence of Verbalizations on Implicit Sequential Regularity Learning and the Emergence of Explicit Knowledge in Children, Younger and Older Adults
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Ferdinand, Nicola K.; Kray, Jutta – Developmental Psychology, 2017
This study aimed at investigating the ability to learn regularities across the life span and examine whether this learning process can be supported or hampered by verbalizations. For this purpose, children (aged 8-10 years) and younger (aged 19-30 years) and older (aged 70-80 years) adults took part in a sequence learning experiment. We found that…

Training Young Children on Sequential Relations among Numbers and Spatial Decomposition: Differential Transfer to Number Line and Mental Transformation Tasks
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Xu, Chang; LeFevre, Jo-Anne – Developmental Psychology, 2016
Are there differential benefits of training sequential number knowledge versus spatial skills for children's numerical and spatial performance? Three- to five-year-old children (N = 84) participated in 1 session of either sequential training (e.g., what comes before and after the number 5?) or non-numerical spatial training (i.e., decomposition of…

The Neural Correlates of Infant and Adult Goal Prediction: Evidence for Semantic Processing Systems
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Reid, Vincent M.; Hoehl, Stefanie; Grigutsch, Maren; Groendahl, Anna; Parise, Eugenio; Striano, Tricia – Developmental Psychology, 2009
The sequential nature of action ensures that an individual can anticipate the conclusion of an observed action via the use of semantic rules. The semantic processing of language and action has been linked to the N400 component of the event-related potential (ERP). The authors developed an ERP paradigm in which infants and adults observed simple…
