Holochwost, Steven J.; Winebrake, Deaven; Brown, Eleanor D.; Happaney, Keith R.; Wagner, Nicholas J.; Mills-Koonce, W. Roger – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
The predictive validity of performance on cognitive-behavioral measures of executive function (EF) suggests that these measures index children's underlying capacity for self-regulation. In this paper, we apply ecological systems theory to critically evaluate this assertion. We argue that as typically administered, standard measures of EF do not…

Rajan, Vinaya; Konishi, Haruka; Ridge, Katherine; Houston, Derek M.; Golinkoff, Roberta Michnick; Hirsh-Pasek, Kathy; Eastman, Nancy; Schwartz, Richard G. – Journal of Child Language, 2019
Several aspects of early language skills, including parent-report measures of vocabulary, phoneme discrimination, speech segmentation, and speed of lexical access predict later childhood language outcomes. To date, no studies have examined the long-term predictive validity of novel word learning. We examined whether individual differences in novel…

Severson, Rachel L.; Lemm, Kristi M. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2016
The study of anthropomorphism in adults has received considerable interest with the development of the Individual Differences in Anthropomorphism Questionnaire (IDAQ; Waytz, Cacioppo, & Epley, 2010). Anthropomorphism in children--its development, correlates, and consequences--is also of significant interest, yet a comparable measure does not…
