Direct linkDriver, Charles C.; Tomasik, Martin J. – Child Development, 2023
We demonstrate how developmental theories may be instantiated as statistical models, using hierarchical continuous-time dynamic systems. This approach offers a flexible specification and an often more direct link between theory and model parameters than common modeling frameworks. We address developmental theories of the relation between the…

Thiessen, Erik D. – Child Development, 2011
All theories of language development suggest that learning is constrained. However, theories differ on whether these constraints arise from language-specific processes or have domain-general origins such as the characteristics of human perception and information processing. The current experiments explored constraints on statistical learning of…

Barner, David; Snedeker, Jesse – Child Development, 2008
Four experiments investigated 4-year-olds' understanding of adjective-noun compositionality and their sensitivity to statistics when interpreting scalar adjectives. In Experiments 1 and 2, children selected "tall" and "short" items from 9 novel objects called "pimwits" (1-9 in. in height) or from this array plus 4 taller or shorter distractor…

Peer reviewedKlaczynski, Paul A.; Gordon, David H. – Child Development, 1996
Adolescents and young adults solved reasoning problems that related to their career goals. Results indicated that subjects found goal-enhancing evidence more convincing than goal-neutral and goal-threatening evidence; statistical reasoning was more frequent on goal-threatening than goal-neutral and goal-enhancing problems; and intellectual ability…

Peer reviewedMcLoyd, Vonnie C.; And Others – Child Development, 1984
Examined sequential dependencies in solitary and interactive states of social organization as a function of age, sex, and type of toy in 12 triads of 3 1/2- and 5-year-old children. Each triad was observed during two 30-minute sessions, one in which objects with highly specific functions were available and one in which objects with relatively…
