Pathways from Toddler Information Processing to Adolescent Lexical Proficiency
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Rose, Susan A.; Feldman, Judith F.; Jankowski, Jeffery J. – Child Development, 2015
This study examined the relation of 3-year core information-processing abilities to lexical growth and development. The core abilities covered four domains--memory, representational competence (cross-modal transfer), processing speed, and attention. Lexical proficiency was assessed at 3 and 13 years with the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT)…

A Cognitive Approach to the Development of Early Language

Rose, Susan A.; Feldman, Judith F.; Jankowski, Jeffery J. – Child Development, 2009
A controversial issue in the field of language development is whether language emergence and growth is dependent solely on processes specifically tied to language or could also depend on basic cognitive processes that affect all aspects of cognitive competence (domain-general processes). The present article examines this issue using a large…

Memory and Processing Speed in Preterm Children at Eleven Years: A Comparison with Full-Terms.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rose, Susan A.; Feldman, Judith F. – Child Development, 1996
Examined the effects of premature birth on ninety 11-year-olds' memory and processing speed, using the new Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT). Found that preterm subjects performed more poorly than their full-term counterparts on all CAT memory tasks, and that preterms were also slower on selected aspects of processing speed but not on motor speed.…

A Longitudinal Study of Visual Expectation and Reaction Time in the First Year of Life.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rose, Susan A.; Feldman, Judith F.; Jankowski, Jeffery J.; Caro, Donna M. – Child Development, 2002
Examined developmental change and stability of visual expectation and reaction times among 5-, 7-, and 12-month-old term and preterm infants. Found that reaction times declined with age while anticipations increased. Infants with faster reaction times were more likely to anticipate upcoming events; this effect disappeared when time between stimuli…

Modifying the Distribution of Attention in Infants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Jankowski, Jeffery J.; Rose, Susan A.; Feldman, Judith F. – Child Development, 2001
Studied in three experiments the distribution and malleability of visual attention in 5-month-olds while they inspected large geometric designs. Established that infants who were short-lookers had novelty scores above chance, whereas long-lookers demonstrated chance responding. Illuminating different parts of visual display induced long-lookers to…

Rose, Susan A.; Feldman, Judith F.; Jankowski, Jeffery J.; Van Rossem, Ronan – Child Development, 2005
This study examined the relation of information processing in 7-month-old preterms ([less than] 1750g at birth) and full-terms to Bayley Mental Development Indexes (MDIs) at 2 and 3 years. The infant measures were drawn from four cognitive domains: attention, speed, memory, and representational competence. Structural equation modeling showed that…

Memory and Speed: Their Role in the Relation of Infant Information Processing to Later IQ.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rose, Susan A.; Feldman, Judith F. – Child Development, 1997
Studied the extent to which memory and processing speed accounted for relations between infant information processing and childhood IQ. Found that the relationship of 7-month visual recognition memory and 1-year cross-modal transfer to 11-year IQ were reduced when statistically controlled for factors derived from these measures, suggesting that…
