Stephanie Wermelinger; Marco Bleiker; Moritz M. Daum – Infant and Child Development, 2025
Children's fuzziness leads to increased variance in the data, data loss, and high dropout rates in developmental studies. This study investigated the importance of 20 factors on the person (child, caregiver, experimenter) and situation (task, method, time, and date) level for the data quality as indicated via the number of valid trials in 11…

Anjie Cao; Molly Lewis; Sho Tsuji; Christina Bergmann; Alejandrina Cristia; Michael C. Frank – Developmental Science, 2025
Developmental psychology focuses on how psychological constructs change with age. In cognitive development research, however, the specifics of this emergence is often underspecified. Researchers often provisionally assume linear growth by including chronological age as a predictor in regression models. In this work, we aim to evaluate this…

Executive control (EC) emerges in the first year of life, with the ability to inhibit prepotent responses (inhibitory control [IC]) and to flexibly readapt (cognitive flexibility [CF]) steadily improving. Simultaneously, electrophysiological brain activity undergoes profound reconfiguration, which has been linked to individual variability in EC.…

Tess Allegra Forest; Sarah A. McCormick; Lauren Davel; Nwabisa Mlandu; Michal R. Zieff; Khula South Africa Data Collection Team; Dima Amso; Kirsty A. Donald; Laurel Joy Gabard-Durnam – Developmental Science, 2025
Caregivers play an outsized role in shaping early life experiences and development, but we often lack mechanistic insight into "how" exactly caregiver behavior scaffolds the neurodevelopment of specific learning processes. Here, we capitalized on the fact that caregivers differ in how predictable their behavior is to ask if infants'…
