Cognitive Competences in Preterm Infants across the First Year of Life: Assessments of Continuity, Stability, Coherence, Prediction, and Moderation by Infant Age and Country of Origin
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Maria Spinelli; Diane L. Putnick; Prachi E. Shah; Marc H. Bornstein – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2025
Understanding of preterm infant cognitive competences across the first year of life is limited regarding the developmental constructs of continuity, stability, coherence, and predictive validity as well as how they manifest by age and country of origin. This prospective longitudinal study examined and compared mean-level continuity,…

Measuring Early Child Development across Low and Middle-Income Countries: A Systematic Review
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Munoz-Chereau, Bernardita; Ang, Lynn; Dockrell, Julie; Outhwaite, Laura; Heffernan, Claire – Journal of Early Childhood Research, 2021
The Sustainable Development Goals mandate that by 2030, all children should have access to quality early child development opportunities, healthcare and pre-primary education. Yet validated measures of ECD in low and middle income countries (LMICs) are rare. To address this gap, a Systematic Review (SR) of measures available to profile the…

Maternal Mind-Mindedness and Children's School Readiness: A Longitudinal Study of Developmental Processes
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bernier, Annie; McMahon, Catherine A.; Perrier, Rachel – Developmental Psychology, 2017
This study aimed to test a 5-wave sequential mediation model linking maternal mind-mindedness during infancy to children's school readiness in kindergarten through a serial mediation involving child language and effortful control in toddlerhood and the preschool years. Among a sample of 204 mother-child dyads, we assessed maternal mind-mindedness…

A Matter of Timing: Enhancing Positive Change for the Developing Brain
Direct linkDirect link
Fox, Nathan A.; Zeanah, Charles H.; Nelson, Charles A. – ZERO TO THREE, 2014
Neuroscientists have long believed that there are sensitive periods in development during which the effects of experience play a critical role. And developmental psychologists have argued for the importance of early experience in the first years of life as being critical for brain and behavioral development. Most of the neuroscience research…

Grantham-McGregor, Sally; Smith, Joanne A. – Journal of Applied Research on Children, 2016
We review the development of the Jamaican home visiting intervention for children under 4 years and its evidence base. The intervention has focused on supporting mothers to promote the development of their children through interacting in a responsive way, labelling the environment and activities. The curriculum is structured and cognitively…

Infant Tests as Predictors of Cognitive and Language Development at Two Years.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Siegel, Linda S. – Child Development, 1981
Assesses ability of infant tests to predict language and cognitive development and to detect infants at risk for developmental problems. The Bayley Mental Development Index was particularly capable of detecting infants at risk for developmental delay. The Caldwell Inventory of Home Stimulation identified home environment as a key factor in…
