Debska, Agnieszka; Luniewska, Magdalena; Zubek, Julian; Chyl, Katarzyna; Dynak, Agnieszka; Dziegiel-Fivet, Gabriela; Plewko, Joanna; Jednoróg, Katarzyna; Grabowska, Anna – Developmental Science, 2022
This study focuses on the role of numerous cognitive skills such as phonological awareness (PA), rapid automatized naming (RAN), visual and selective attention, auditory skills, and implicit learning in developmental dyslexia. We examined the (co)existence of cognitive deficits in dyslexia and assessed cognitive skills' predictive value for…

Blockmans, Lauren; Kievit, Rogier; Wouters, Jan; Ghesquière, Pol; Vandermosten, Maaike – Developmental Science, 2024
Literacy acquisition is a complex process with genetic and environmental factors influencing cognitive and neural processes associated with reading. Previous research identified factors that predict word reading fluency (WRF), including phonological awareness (PA), rapid automatized naming (RAN), and speech-in-noise perception (SPIN). Recent…

Ye Xie; Hyesang Chang; Yi Zhang; Chunjie Wang; Yuan Zhang; Lang Chen; Fengji Geng; Yixuan Ku; Vinod Menon; Feiyan Chen – Developmental Science, 2024
Abacus-based mental calculation (AMC) is a widely used educational tool for enhancing math learning, offering an accessible and cost-effective method for classroom implementation. Despite its universal appeal, the neurocognitive mechanisms that drive the efficacy of AMC training remain poorly understood. Notably, although abacus training relies…

Abreu-Mendoza, Roberto A.; Pincus, Melanie; Chamorro, Yaira; Jolles, Dietsje; Matute, Esmeralda; Rosenberg-Lee, Miriam – Developmental Science, 2022
Mathematical cognition requires coordinated activity across multiple brain regions, leading to the emergence of resting-state functional connectivity as a method for studying the neural basis of differences in mathematical achievement. Hyper-connectivity of the intraparietal sulcus (IPS), a key locus of mathematical and numerical processing, has…

Jones, Jonathan S.; Astle, Duncan E. – Developmental Science, 2022
Functional connectivity within and between Intrinsic Connectivity Networks (ICNs) transforms over development and is thought to support high order cognitive functions. But how variable is this process, and does it diverge with altered cognitive development? We investigated age-related changes in integration and segregation within and between ICNs…

Arenillas-Alcón, Sonia; Ribas-Prats, Teresa; Puertollano, Marta; Mondéjar-Segovia, Alejandro; Gómez-Roig, María Dolores; Costa-Faidella, Jordi; Escera, Carles – Developmental Science, 2023
Fetal hearing experiences shape the linguistic and musical preferences of neonates. From the very first moment after birth, newborns prefer their native language, recognize their mother's voice, and show a greater responsiveness to lullabies presented during pregnancy. Yet, the neural underpinnings of this experience inducing plasticity have…

Hsin-Hui Lu; Hong-Hsiang Liu; Feng-Ming Tsao – Developmental Science, 2024
This study examined how Mandarin-speaking preschoolers with and without a history of late talking (LT) process familiar monosyllabic words with unexpected lexical tones, focusing on both phonological and semantic violations. This study initially enrolled 64 Mandarin-speaking toddlers: 31 with a history of LT (mean age: 27.67 months) and 33 without…

Woodruff Carr, Kali; Perszyk, Danielle R.; Norton, Elizabeth S.; Voss, Joel L.; Poeppel, David; Waxman, Sandra R. – Developmental Science, 2021
The power and precision with which humans link language to cognition is unique to our species. By 3-4 months of age, infants have already established this link: simply listening to human language facilitates infants' success in fundamental cognitive processes. Initially, this link to cognition is also engaged by a broader set of acoustic stimuli,…

Ribas-Prats, Teresa; Arenillas-Alcón, Sonia; Lip-Sosa, Diana Lucia; Costa-Faidella, Jordi; Mazarico, Edurne; Gómez-Roig, María Dolores; Escera, Carles – Developmental Science, 2022
Infants born after fetal growth restriction (FGR)--an obstetric condition defined as the failure to achieve the genetic growth potential--are prone to neurodevelopmental delays, with language being one of the major affected areas. Yet, while verbal comprehension and expressive language impairments have been observed in FGR infants, children and…

Hutchison, Jane E.; Ansari, Daniel; Zheng, Samuel; De Jesus, Stefanie; Lyons, Ian M. – Developmental Science, 2020
A long-standing debate in the field of numerical cognition concerns the degree to which symbolic and non-symbolic processing are related over the course of development. Of particular interest is the possibility that this link depends on the range of quantities in question. Behavioral and neuroimaging research with adults suggests that symbolic and…

Di Giorgio, Elisa; Lunghi, Marco; Rugani, Rosa; Regolin, Lucia; Dalla Barba, Beatrice; Vallortigara, Giorgio; Simion, Francesca – Developmental Science, 2019
Humans represent numbers on a mental number line with smaller numbers on the left and larger numbers on the right side. A left-to-right oriented spatial-numerical association, (SNA), has been demonstrated in animals and infants. However, the possibility that SNA is learnt by early exposure to caregivers' directional biases is still open. We…

Filippi, Courtney; Choi, Yeo Bi; Fox, Nathan A.; Woodward, Amanda L. – Developmental Science, 2020
The mechanisms that support infant action processing are thought to be involved in the development of later social cognition. While a growing body of research demonstrates longitudinal links between action processing and explicit theory of mind (TOM), it remains unclear why this link emerges in some measures of action encoding and not others. In…

Jasinska, Kaja K.; Shuai, Lan; Lau, Airey N. L.; Frost, Stephen; Landi, Nicole; Pugh, Kenneth R. – Developmental Science, 2021
Understanding how pre-literate children's language abilities and neural function relate to future reading ability is important for identifying children who may be at-risk for reading problems. Pre-literate children are already proficient users of spoken language and their developing brain networks for language become highly overlapping with brain…

E.; Newhouse, Morgan; Nielsen, Mark G.; Ramos, Karlos; Rawlings, Bruce; dos Santos, Renan A. C.; Silveira, Lara G. S.; Tucker-Drob, Elliot M.; Legare, Cristine H. – Developmental Science, 2022
Self-regulation is a widely studied construct, generally assumed to be cognitively supported by executive functions (EFs). There is a lack of clarity and consensus over the roles of specific components of EFs in self-regulation. The current study examines the relations between performance on (a) a self-regulation task (Heads, Toes, Knees Shoulders…

Exposure to childhood adversity has been consistently associated with poor developmental outcomes, but it is unclear whether these associations vary across different forms of adversity. We examined cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between threat and deprivation with cognition, emotional processing, and psychopathology in a…
