Redquest, Brianne; McKenzie, Lachina; Lake, Johanna; Fung, Kenneth; Lunsky, Yona – Journal of Mental Health Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2022
Introduction: Caregivers of autistic children and caregivers of children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) experience considerable stress. However, what is unique or similar across these groups remains understudied. This study explored how female caregivers of children with FASD who registered to participate in a caregiver focused mental…

Gabel, Lindsay N.; Daoust, Andrew R.; Olino, Thomas M.; Grahn, Jessica A.; Durbin, C. Emily; Hayden, Elizabeth P. – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly: Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2022
Individual differences in emotional reactivity emerge early in development and predict important child outcomes. Unfortunately, methods used to assess these often fail to tap dynamic changes in emotion, obscuring nuanced relationships between maladaptive emotional reactivity and early internalizing psychopathology. We therefore explored the…

Kawakami, Sayaka; Uono, Shota; Otsuka, Sadao; Yoshimura, Sayaka; Zhao, Shuo; Toichi, Motomi – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
The present study examined the relationship between multisensory integration and the temporal binding window (TBW) for multisensory processing in adults with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The ASD group was less likely than the typically developing group to perceive an illusory flash induced by multisensory integration during a sound-induced…

Lai, Maxine; Zax, Alexandra; Barth, Hilary – Developmental Science, 2018
Learning the meanings of Arabic numerals involves mapping the number symbols to mental representations of their corresponding, approximate numerical quantities. It is often assumed that performance on numerical tasks, such as number line estimation (NLE), is primarily driven by translating from a presented numeral to a mental representation of its…

French, Jason A.; Menendez, David; Herrmann, Patricia A.; Evans, E. Margaret; Rosengren, Karl S. – Grantee Submission, 2018
We investigated children's (n = 120; 3- to 11-year-olds) and adults' (n = 18) reasoning about life-cycle changes in biological organisms by examining their endorsements of four different patterns of life- span changes. Participants were presented with two separate tasks: (a) judging possible adult versions of a juvenile animal and (b) judging…

Tosto, Maria Grazia; Garon-Carrier, Gabrielle; Gross, Susan; Petrill, Stephen A.; Malykh, Sergey; Malki, Karim; Hart, Sara A.; Thompson, Lee; Karadaghi, Rezhaw L.; Yakovlev, Nikita; Tikhomirova, Tatiana; Opfer, John E.; Mazzocco, Michèle M. M.; Dionne, Ginette; Brendgen, Mara; Vitaro, Frank; Tremblay, Richard E.; Boivin, Michel; Kovas, Yulia – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
Background: The number line task assesses the ability to estimate numerical magnitudes. People vary greatly in this ability, and this variability has been previously associated with mathematical skills. However, the sources of individual differences in number line estimation and its association with mathematics are not fully understood. Aims: This…

Leonhartsberger, Sabine; Huber, Eva; Brandstötter, German; Stoeckel, Ruth; Baas, Becky; Weber, Christoph; Holzinger, Daniel – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2022
Motor learning principles guide treatment of childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). Previous studies found children to benefit from higher-intensity conditions; however, they did not control for the total amount of therapy time. The aims of the article are to examine the effects of high versus low treatment frequency in intervention for CAS in…

Parshina, Olga; Sekerina, Irina A.; Lopukhina, Anastasiya; von der Malsburg, Titus – Reading Research Quarterly, 2022
In the present study, we used a scanpath approach to investigate reading processes and factors that can shape them in monolingual Russian-speaking adults, 8-year-old children, and bilingual Russian-speaking readers. We found that monolingual adults' eye movement patterns exhibited a fluent scanpath reading process, representing effortless…

Weiss, Staci Meredith; Marshall, Peter J. – Developmental Science, 2023
The development of the ability to anticipate--as manifested by preparatory actions and neural activation related to the expectation of an upcoming stimulus--may play a key role in the ontogeny of cognitive skills more broadly. This preregistered study examined anticipatory brain potentials and behavioral responses (reaction time; RT) to…

Alagendran, Katherine; Hitch, Danielle; Wadley, Chloe; Stagnitti, Karen – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2019
Social play and social interactions are essential occupations for children, but can be challenging for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). This systematic review investigates cortisol responsivity in children with ASD during naturalistic social play and social interactions. Methodology: Six control and comparison studies of moderate…

Lecce, Serena; Ronchi, Luca; Del Sette, Paola; Bsichetti, Luca; Bambini, Valentina – Journal of Child Language, 2019
We investigated the association between individual differences in metaphor understanding and Theory of Mind (ToM) in typically developing children. We distinguished between two types of metaphors and created a Physical and Mental Metaphors task, echoing a similar distinction for ToM. Nine-year-olds scored lower than older age-groups in ToM as well…

Elaine Khoo; Linda Mitchell; Maria Sammons – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2024
Creative and innovative reflective methods are important to prompt and sustain alternative and novel ways for teachers to consider their professional identity and practice. Digital storytelling is one such method that enables the sharing of valued events including narratives of lived experience. This paper reports on a case study investigating…

McMullen, Jake; Chan, Jenny Yun-Chen; Mazzocco, Michèle M. M.; Hannula-Sormunen, Minna M. – Research in Mathematics Education, 2019
A growing body of evidence reveals the need for research on, and consideration for, children's and students' own--self-guided--spontaneous use of mathematical reasoning and knowledge in action. Spontaneous focusing on numerosity (SFON) and quantitative relations (SFOR) have been implicated as key components of mathematical development. In this…

Abdelaziz, Ahmed; Kover, Sara T.; Wagner, Manuela; Naigles, Letitia R. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) demonstrate many mechanisms of lexical acquisition that support language in typical development; however, 1 notable exception is the shape bias. The bases of these children's difficulties with the shape bias are not well understood, and the current study explored potential sources of individual…

Sabatino DiCriscio, Antoinette; Troiani, Vanessa – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Atypical visual perception has increasingly been described in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and linked to quantitative, autism-like features that are present in children and adults without ASD. We investigated whether individual differences in visual processing skills were related to quantitative measures of autism traits in a…
