Across two studies, children ages 6-9 (N = 160, 82 boys, 78 girls; 75% White, 91% non-Hispanic) rated an inaccurate expert's knowledge and provided explanations for the expert's inaccurate statements. In Study 1, children's knowledge ratings decreased as he provided more inaccurate information. Ratings were predicted by age (i.e., older children…

Jacqueline Lim; Patricia McCabe; Alison Purcell – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Dynamic Systems Theory (DST) has been used as a foundational lens through which to observe and understand child development and disorders. Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a motor planning speech disorder that can be difficult to treat. This tutorial outlines how a DST framework can be used to understand the therapy process for…

An individual participant data meta-analysis was conducted to test pre-registered hypotheses about how the configuration of attachment relationships to mothers and fathers predicts children's language competence. Data from seven studies (published between 1985 and 2014) including 719 children (M[subscript age]: 19.84 months; 51% female; 87% White)…

Jutta Kray; Linda Sommerfeld; Arielle Borovsky; Katja Häuser – Child Development Perspectives, 2024
Prediction error plays a pivotal role in theories of learning, including theories of language acquisition and use. Researchers have investigated whether and under which conditions children, like adults, use prediction to facilitate language comprehension at different levels of linguistic representation. However, many aspects of the reciprocal…

Cuartas, Jorge – Child Development, 2022
Whether spanking is detrimental for social-emotional (SE) development remains controversial, mostly due to disputes around the internal and external validity of existing evidence. This study examined the effect of spanking on the SE development of Bhutanese children, using a national, longitudinal sample (N = 1377; M[subscript age] = 50.5 months…

Portelance, Eva; Duan, Yuguang; Frank, Michael C.; Lupyan, Gary – Cognitive Science, 2023
What makes a word easy to learn? Early-learned words are frequent and tend to name concrete referents. But words typically do not occur in isolation. Some words are predictable from their contexts; others are less so. Here, we investigate whether predictability relates to when children start producing different words (age of acquisition; AoA). We…

Dagan, Or; Sagi-Schwartz, Abraham – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2021
Early attachment has been commonly hypothesized to predict children's future developmental outcomes, and robust evidence relying on assessments of single caregiver-child attachment patterns has corroborated this hypothesis. Nevertheless, most often children are raised by multiple caregivers, and they tend to form attachment bonds with more than…

Mari, Magali A.; Clément, Fabrice; Paulus, Markus – Developmental Psychology, 2023
The psychological mechanisms that subserve inductions about novel social categories in childhood are hotly debated. While research demonstrated that language, and in particular generic statements, plays a major role in how children learn to attribute properties to social categories, developmental theories propose other mechanisms. One theoretical…

Arithmetic ability is critical for daily life, academic achievement, career development, and future economic success. Individual differences in arithmetic skills among children and adolescents are related to variations in brain structures. Most existing studies have used hypothesis-driven region of interest analysis. To identify distributed brain…

Parenting and children's temperament are important influences on language development. However, temperament may reflect prior parenting, and parenting effects may reflect genes common to parents and children. In 561 U.S. adoptees (57% male) and their birth and rearing parents (70% and 92% White, 13% and 4% African American, and 7% and 2% Latinx,…

Chen Chen; Xiaojing Gu – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2025
Preschool teachers play a crucial role in facilitating children's cognitive and social-emotional development, and their ability to do so can be influenced by their professional identity. However, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) may have impacted the professional identity of preschool teachers, a topic that has been explored by little…

This study analysed whether the assessment of head righting reflex (HRR) in babies immediately after birth can be used in prediction of early child development. In 54 healthy newborns, testing of HRR was conducted on the third day upon birth. The HRR at birth were correlated with balance ability (BA), speech and language development (SLD) and…

What do cows drink? The correct answer is water, but many are tempted to say milk. The disposition to override an intuitive response (milk) with a more analytic response (water) is known as "cognitive reflection." Tests of cognitive reflection predict a wide range of skills and abilities in adults. In this article, we discuss the…

Richard, Céline; Neel, Mary Lauren; Jeanvoine, Arnaud; Mc Connell, Sharon; Gehred, Alison; Maitre, Nathalie L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: We sought to critically analyze and evaluate published evidence regarding feasibility and clinical potential for predicting neurodevelopmental outcomes of the frequency-following responses (FFRs) to speech recordings in neonates (birth to 28 days). Method: A systematic search of MeSH terms in the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied…

Primal world beliefs ("primals") capture understanding of general characteristics of the world, such as whether the world is "Good" and "Enticing." Children (N = 1215, 50% girls), mothers, and fathers from Colombia, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Philippines, Sweden, Thailand, and United States reported neighborhood danger,…
