Carolus, Amy E.; McLaughlin, Katie A.; Lengua, Lilliana J.; Rowe, Meredith L.; Sheridan, Margaret A.; Zalewski, Maureen; Moran, Lyndsey; Romeo, Rachel R. – Developmental Science, 2024
Conversational turn-taking is a complex communicative skill that requires both linguistic and executive functioning (EF) skills, including processing input while simultaneously forming and inhibiting responses until one's turn. Adult-child turn-taking predicts children's linguistic, cognitive, and socioemotional development. However, little is…

Linlin Liang; Ni Zhang; Wen Liu; Linlin Lin; Xue Zhang – Child & Youth Care Forum, 2025
Background: Externalizing problem behaviors, such as childhood aggression, have a significant impact on adolescent delinquency and even adult delinquency and violence. Mother's attitudes and behaviors can impact the self-control and regulation of preschoolers, which in turn reflect in preschoolers' externalizing problems. Objective: This…

Joan E. Foley; Thomas M. Olino; Marsha Weinraub – Developmental Science, 2025
Researchers have demonstrated the important contribution of mothers' sensitive parenting to children's developing cognition over the first 5 years of life, yet studies examining sensitivity beyond the early years, controlling for earlier effects, are limited. In this exploratory study, we examined the developmental pathways through which mothers'…

Lorcan Kenny; Anna Remington; Elizabeth Pellicano – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
There is a long tradition of research into autistic people's executive function skills. Yet, despite decades of research on EF in autism, the existing literature remains contradictory and 'confusing', with a large -- and unresolved -- discrepancy between small-to-moderate effect sizes demonstrated on laboratory-based EF tasks and large effect…

Lee, Meen Hye; Min, Ari; Park, Chang; Kim, Inah – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Sleep disturbance is prevalent in caregivers and associated with negative physical, mental, and functional outcomes. This study examined the effects of sleep disturbance on daytime functions (sleepiness, fatigue, mood, cognitive alertness), care-related quality of life, and daily parenting interactions in 20 mothers of children with autism…

Lilja K. Jónsdóttir; Tommie Forslund; Matilda A. Frick; Andreas Frick; Emma J. Heeman; Karin C. Brocki – Developmental Science, 2024
Previous research and theory indicate an importance of the quality of the early caregiving environment in the development of self-regulation. However, it is unclear how attachment security and maternal sensitivity, two related but distinct aspects of the early caregiving environment, may differentially predict self-regulation at school start and…

Maltman, Nell; DaWalt, Leeann Smith; Hong, Jinkuk; Baker, Mei Wang; Berry-Kravis, Elizabeth M.; Brilliant, Murray H.; Mailick, Marsha – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2023
Variation in the "FMR1" gene may affect aspects of cognition, such as executive function and memory. Environmental factors, such as stress, may also negatively impact cognitive functioning. Participants included 1,053 mothers of children with and without developmental disabilities. Participants completed self-report measures of executive…

Yelim Hong; Christina M. Bertrand; Kirby Deater-Deckard; Cynthia L. Smith; Martha Ann Bell – Developmental Psychology, 2024
The authors examined task-based (i.e., executive function), surveyed (i.e., effortful control), and physiological (i.e., resting cardiac respiratory sinus arrhythmia [RSA]) measures of child and maternal regulation as distinct moderators of longitudinal bidirectional links between child externalizing (EXT) behaviors and harsh parenting (HP) from 6…

Nia R. Barbee; Anne L. Dunlop; Elizabeth Corwin; Patricia A. Brennan – Infant Mental Health Journal: Infancy and Early Childhood, 2025
The proposed study sought to investigate whether maternal experiences of racial discrimination and gendered racial stress are associated with offspring executive functioning. Total 266 Black mother-child pairs in the United States were assessed from pregnancy through child age of 4 years. We hypothesized that children whose mothers reported higher…

Masek, Lillian R.; Weiss, Staci Meredith; McMillan, Brianna T. M.; Paterson, Sarah J.; Golinkoff, Roberta Michnick; Hirsh-Pasek, Kathy – Developmental Science, 2023
High-quality communicative interactions between caregivers and children provide a foundation for children's social and cognitive skills. Although most studies examining these types of interactions focus on child language outcomes, this paper takes another tack. It examines whether communicative, dyadic interactions might also relate to child…

Annie Bernier; Sylvana M. Côté; Rose Lapolice Thériault; Gabrielle Leclerc – Developmental Science, 2024
Childcare services are widely used by families and thereby exert an important influence on many young children. Yet, little research has examined whether childcare may impact the development of child executive functioning (EF), one of the pillars of cognitive development in early childhood. Furthermore, despite persisting hypotheses that childcare…

Jennifer J. Phillips; Cheyenne A. Williams; John H. Hunter; Martha Ann Bell – Infant and Child Development, 2024
Measures of parasympathetic regulation, such as respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), predict executive function outcomes, including inhibitory control, across childhood. Respiratory sinus arrhythmia augmentation tends to be associated with more maladaptive outcomes, compared to RSA suppression, but the literature regarding RSA profiles and…

Kolak, Amy M.; Dean, Caitlin H. – Early Child Development and Care, 2023
This multi-method study examined mothers' and fathers' cognitive stimulation during parent--child interactions and toddlers' moral regulation (assessed via parent reports) as predictors of their executive functioning skills approximately 2½ years later. Forty children (23 girls and 17 boys) and their parents participated in both timepoints.…

Sarah Coughlan; Jean Quigley; Elizabeth Nixon – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: To investigate the language environments experienced by preterm-born infants, this study compared the linguistic and interactive features of parent--infant conversations involving 2-year-old preterm- and term-born infants. The study also explored how mother-infant and father-infant conversations may be differentially affected by…

Choe, Daniel Ewon; Deer, LillyBelle K.; Hastings, Paul D. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Prenatal and postpartum depression are highly prevalent worldwide, and emerging evidence suggests they contribute to impairments in children's executive functions. Studies of maternal depression, however, have focused on the postpartum and postnatal periods with relatively less consideration of prenatal influences on child development. This study…
