T. Vessonen; H. Hellstrand; P. Aunio; A. Laine – International Journal of Early Childhood, 2024
The aim of this study was to investigate individual differences in mathematical problem-solving among 3- to 5-year-old children (N = 328; n[subscript 3-year-olds] = 115, n[subscript 4-year-olds] = 167, n[subscript 5-year-olds] = 46). First, we examined the extent to which children in this age group were able to solve open and closed non-routine…

Chelsea La Valle; Gabriela Davila Mejia; Carol L. Wilkinson; Nicole Baumer – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Toddlers with Down syndrome (DS) showcase comparable or higher rates of gestures than chronological age-- and language-matched toddlers without DS. Little is known about how gesture use in toddlers with DS relates to multiple domains of development, including motor, pragmatics, language, and visual reception (VR) skills. Unexplored is…

Rombouts, Ellen; Leenen, Liesl; Maes, Bea; Zink, Inge – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Individuals with developmental language disorder or Williams syndrome are reported to use more gestures than individuals with typical development. However, these two groups differ considerably in visuospatial and language skills, two skills that are hypothesized to shape gesture rate. Aims: We first examined whether children with both…

Sutton, Ann; Trudeau, Natacha; Morford, Jill P.; Smith, Martine M.; Mascolo, Marie-Ève – Augmentative and Alternative Communication, 2022
This study explored performance on expressive and receptive graphic symbol tasks and spoken comprehension by individuals who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) as well as the relationship of performance with participants' skills and characteristics. Participants were 19 children and youth (aged 5- to 18-years-old) who used aided…

Schröder, Elin; Gredebäck, Gustaf; Forssman, Linda; Lindskog, Marcus – Developmental Science, 2022
How do children construct a concept of natural numbers? Past research addressing this question has mainly focused on understanding how children come to acquire the cardinality principle. However, at that point children already understand the first number words and have a rudimentary natural number concept in place. The question therefore remains;…

Venker, Courtney E.; Neumann, Dominik; Aladé, Fashina – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2022
Background & Aims: Many young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) demonstrate striking delays in early vocabulary development. Experimental studies that teach the meanings of novel nonwords can determine the effects of linguistic and attentional factors. One factor that may affect novel referent selection in children with ASD is…

Gray, Shelley I.; Levy, Roy; Alt, Mary; Hogan, Tiffany P.; Cowan, Nelson – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to use an established model of working memory in children to predict an established model of word learning to determine whether working memory explained word learning variance over and above the contributions of expressive vocabulary and nonverbal IQ. Method: One hundred sixty-seven English-speaking second…
