Robin Barfield – Journal of Research on Christian Education, 2023
A comparison of the use of parables within children's ministry practice reveals two very different approaches: Jerome Berryman's Godly Play elevates the role of parables and is open-ended for the child to interpret. Examples of UK evangelical processes are then observed and are seen to make much less use of parables but mediate the intent of those…

To retrospectively explore the characteristics of plasma amino acids (PAAs) in children with autism spectrum disorder and their clinical association via case-control study. A total of 110 autistic and 55 healthy children were recruited from 2014 to 2018. The clinical phenotypes included severity of autism, cognition, adaptability, and regression.…

Elena Martinez-Cayuelas; Beatriz Moreno-Vinués; Isabel Pérez-Sebastián; Teresa Gavela-Pérez; Genoveva Del Rio-Camacho; Carmen Garcés; Leandro Soriano-Guillén – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
Sleep problems are prevalent in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and have a range of causes, including circadian rhythm misalignment. However, little is known about sleep in autistic children with co-occurring attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A cross-sectional descriptive and analytic study was conducted in 87 autistic children and…

Robert Savage; Amy Fox; Anneka Dawson; Helen Gray; Clare Huxley – UCL Press, 2025
In early 2021-22, the Flexible Phonics reading intervention, a large-scale randomised controlled trial, took place in 118 schools in England and involved nearly 3,000 children. This study aimed to provide valuable insights into the success of largely school-based education trials. The Flexible Phonics trial proved to be not only an important…

Wong; Tobias Banaschewski; David Coghill – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2024
Objective: The short-term safety of methylphenidate (MPH) has been widely demonstrated; however the long-term safety is less clear. The aim of this study was to investigate the safety of MPH in relation to pubertal maturation and to explore the monitoring of bone age. Method: Participants from ADDUCE, a two-year observational longitudinal study…

Esra Coskun; Saziye Senem Basgül – International Journal of Modern Education Studies, 2025
This study examined the effects of Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) on selfcompassion and emotion regulation skills in 8- to 12-year-old children diagnosed with cancer. The study was conducted using a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The participants were children undergoing long-term cancer treatment at Necmettin Erbakan University…

Russell T. Warne – Gifted and Talented International, 2023
Tests of measurement invariance are essential to determining whether individual scores or group averages are comparable across populations. While international comparisons of mean IQ scores are common, tests of measurement invariance for intelligence test batteries (necessary for comparisons to be empirically supported) are rare. In this study,…

Nattanun Chanchaochai; Florian Schwarz – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2024
This paper explores the acquisition of personal reference terms in Thai, a language with a highly complex personal reference system. Two separate studies were conducted for this paper, each featuring two groups of participants: children with typical development (TD) and children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). In each study, the…

Forest, Tess Allegra; Abolghasem, Zahra; Finn, Amy S.; Schlichting, Margaret L. – Child Development, 2023
Trajectories of cognitive and neural development suggest that, despite early emergence, the ability to extract environmental patterns changes across childhood. Here, 5- to 9-year-olds and adults (N = 211, 110 females, in a large Canadian city) completed a memory test assessing what they remembered after watching a stream of shape triplets: the…

Ewing, Louise; Mares, Inês; Edwards, S. Gareth; Smith, Marie L. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
It is considerably harder to generalize identity across different pictures of unfamiliar faces, compared with familiar faces. This finding hints strongly at qualitatively distinct processing of unfamiliar face stimuli--for which we have less expertise. Yet, the extent to which face selective versus generic visual processes drive outcomes during…

Baer, Carolyn; Odic, Darko – Developmental Psychology, 2020
How does a person make decisions across perceptual boundaries? Here, we test the account that confidence constitutes a common currency for perceptual decisions even in childhood by examining whether confidence can be compared across distinct perceptual dimensions. We conducted a strict test of domain-generality in confidence reasoning by asking 6-…

Thompson, Yutian T.; Song, Hairong; Shi, Dexin; Liu, Zhengkui – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2021
Conventional approaches for selecting a reference indicator (RI) could lead to misleading results in testing for measurement invariance (MI). Several newer quantitative methods have been available for more rigorous RI selection. However, it is still unknown how well these methods perform in terms of correctly identifying a truly invariant item to…

Chung, Justin Cheuk Yin; Lowenthal, Rosane; Mevorach, Carmel; Paula, Cristiane Silvestre; Teixeira, Maria Cristina Triguero Veloz; Woodcock, Kate Anne – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
The causal relationship between emotional outbursts and emotion dysregulation is proposed to be heterogeneous, but cultural influences have not been considered despite established cultural differences in emotional processes (e.g., increased motivation to suppress emotions in interdependent cultures). Responses to the Brazilian Portuguese version…

Aspectual and mood morphology are vulnerable domains in adult heritage speakers. This paper investigates the root of such vulnerability within the domain of Turkish evidentiality system by comparing 20 second-generation adult and 20 school-age child Turkish heritage speakers to 20 first-generation immigrants (main input providers for child…

Bin Jing; Jinrong Liu; Xue Gong; Yangli Zhang; Haojie Wang; Changcheng Wu – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
An increasing number of MOOCs use learning videos featuring an instructor and slides, but there are few specific guidelines for the design of instructor images for these videos. A pedagogical agent (PA) is a kind of virtual instructor image in a learning video, and its image design is mostly guided by anthropomorphism. Our research attempts to…
