Tom Doust; Jess Joyson – International Journal of Art & Design Education, 2025
This article presents an exploration of imagination as a fundamental and often undervalued aspect of human cognition emphasising its crucial role in fostering creativity. Acknowledging the challenges associated with researching imagination and its role in children's learning, the authors explore imagination through the lens of eight core…

Yuan Liang; Jie Yan; Yan Li; Ying Xiao; Hao Yan – Infant and Child Development, 2025
This study investigated inductive reasoning abilities in 3-5-year-old children across perceptual similarity and linguistic label conditions. Sixty-five typically developing children aged 3 to 5 participated in reasoning tasks involving natural and artificial targets. In the experimental design, children learned two contrasting characteristics…

Maximilian Seitz; Manja Attig; Dave Möwisch; Markus Vogelbacher; Sabine Weinert – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2025
Studies on the emergence of effects of socioeconomic inequality typically report that socioeconomic background is positively associated with early cognitive abilities. However, studies on looking behaviour in habituation tasks rarely investigate this association, although such tasks are standard in measuring cognitive abilities in infants. The…

Marie Sophie Hunze; Franziska Freudenberger; Yvonne Gerigk; Peter Ohler; Gerhild Nieding – Journal of Children and Media, 2025
Evidence shows that the first component of media literacy to develop in children is media sign literacy (MSL), an ability that focuses on the understanding and correct use of the signs and symbol systems that organize different media. Previous research has shown that MSL is a significant predictor of learning from media. In this study, we…

Carmen Lewis; Karin Wolff; Bernard Bekker – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2025
Rapidly evolving technological markets in the so-called knowledge economy have resulted in increased pressure on postgraduate (PG) engineering cohorts to produce research outputs that meet the disparate requirements of both Higher Education (HE) and the knowledge economy. The latter expects a product that is not always explicitly linked to the…

Kalliopi Aslanoglou; Nikolaos C. Zygouris; Stella Tsermentseli; Eleftheria Beazidou; Apostolos Xenakis – Pedagogical Research, 2025
The present pilot study outlines findings from a study that evaluated the efficacy of educational robots in enhancing children's cognitive skills and historical knowledge. Applying LEGO® Wedo 2.0, the study focused on typically developing nine-year-old students in a K-12 public school setting. The hypothesis posited that students using robotics…

Jiangling Zhou; Ziyin Mai; Elaine Lau; Connie Lum; Ai Ling Thian; Virginia Yip – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: This study aims to examine the associations of phonological, lexical, and grammatical skills within and between languages in Mandarin-English bilingual preschoolers. Method: Sixty-three Singaporean Mandarin-English bilingual children aged 3-5 years were assessed for articulation, receptive vocabulary, and receptive grammar using…

Daniel Lovatt – Early Childhood Folio, 2025
The notion of children's working theories is an overarching outcome of Aotearoa New Zealand's early childhood curriculum document "Te Whariki." An ever-growing base of research and literature is available about the working theories children hold and ways that teachers might support working theory development. In this article, I draw on…

Eileen F. Sullivan; Ran Wei; Shahria Kakon; Talat Shama; Fahmida Tofail; William A. Petri; Rashidul Haque; Charles A. Nelson III – Child Development, 2025
Identifying the neural processes that underlie the association between children's early adverse experiences and cognitive development could inform more effective intervention strategies. The goal of the current study (data collected 2015-2021) was to examine relations among early experiences at 6 months, electroencephalography (EEG) theta power at…

Theresa Elise Wege; Camilla Gilmore; Matthew Inglis – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2025
Children learn the cardinalities of the first numbers one, two, three and four before they learn how counting tracks cardinality for all numbers. It may be that when children start to understand counting, they also discover how numbers relate to one another in a structured number system. Do children who understand that the cardinality of a set is…

Zieff; Melissa Gladstone; Kirsten A. Donald; Dima Amso – Child Development, 2025
Cognitive development is associated with how predictable caregivers are, but the mechanisms driving this are unclear. One possibility is caregiver predictability initially shapes how infants gather information for learning. Here, caregiver-infant dyads (N = 222, 2-6-months-old, all female caregivers; data collected 2022-2023) in South Africa and…

Adenike A. Akinrotimi; Temilola J. Popoola; I. E. Udo – International Journal of Education and Development using Information and Communication Technology, 2025
This paper investigates the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on learning outcomes in Early Childhood Education (ECE) in Nigeria. While AI technologies hold the promise of transforming educational experiences through personalized learning, adaptive assessments, and enhanced engagement, their actual influence on young learners in the Nigerian…

Ingrid Forsler; Carina Guyard – Learning, Media and Technology, 2025
Contemporary education in Sweden is characterized by two parallel processes: the implementation of digital tools in the classroom, on the one hand, and an increased emphasis on brain-based learning, on the other. Proponents of the latter strand of 'neuroeducation' claim that digital media might have harmful effects on learning and cognitive…

Borja Blanco; Monika Molnar; Irene Arrieta; César Caballero-Gaudes; Manuel Carreiras – Developmental Science, 2025
Language learning is influenced by both neural development and environmental experiences. This work investigates the influence of early bilingual experience on the neural mechanisms underlying speech processing in 4-month-old infants. We study how an early environmental factor such as bilingualism interacts with neural development by comparing…

Maria Spinelli; Diane L. Putnick; Prachi E. Shah; Marc H. Bornstein – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2025
Understanding of preterm infant cognitive competences across the first year of life is limited regarding the developmental constructs of continuity, stability, coherence, and predictive validity as well as how they manifest by age and country of origin. This prospective longitudinal study examined and compared mean-level continuity,…
