Joan Birulés; Ferran Pons; Laura Bosch – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2024
Successful language learning in bilinguals requires the differentiation of two language systems. The capacity to discriminate rhythmically close languages has been reported in 4-month-olds using auditory-only stimuli. This research offers a novel perspective on early language discrimination using audiovisual material. Monolingual and bilingual…

Cynthia Core; Joanna Pfister; Rosario Rumiche; Erika Hoff – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2025
We investigated the role of bilingual parents' language proficiency in their reports of their children's vocabulary size. Sixty-four Spanish-English bilingual mothers whose L1 was Spanish reported their bilingual children's English and Spanish vocabularies and 37 monolingual L1 English-speaking mothers reported their monolingual children's English…

Emotion understanding (EU) is a socio-cognitive skill that enables us to understand the expression of emotions in ourselves and others. Exposure to early adversity hinders its development, since quality social interactions are essential for its growth. Language is a critical component of EU, and therefore, it may be a mediator between early…

Özlem Sensoy; Anna Krasotkina; Antonia Götz; Barbara Höhle; Gudrun Schwarzer – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2024
The current study examined to what extent face and speech processing interact with each other and whether they enhance or impair the processing of the other in 5-year-olds (n = 51) and adults (n = 34). Using a computer-based speeded sorting task allowed to directly test the influence of auditory speech on face processing and the influence of face…

Dale, Philip S.; Paul, Alexander; Rosholm, Michael; Bleses, Dorthe – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2023
Prediction from early development to later achievement has the potential to improve clinical and educational service delivery as well as to inform developmental theory. In this longitudinal study, we asked how well can educational achievement measured in the final year (Grade 9, age 15) of compulsory education--both overall and for outcomes in the…

Althéa Fratacci; Olivier Clerc; Mathilde Fort; Olivier Pascalis – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2024
Previous studies found an impact of language familiarity on face recognition in 9- and 12-month-olds. Own race faces are better recognized when associated with native language, whereas for other race faces, it is with non-native language. The aim of this study is to investigate if language familiarity can also influence abstract pattern…

Age of Sign Language Acquisition Has Lifelong Effect on Syntactic Preferences in Sign Language Users
Krebs, Julia; Roehm, Dietmar; Wilbur, Ronnie B.; Malaia, Evie A. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2021
Acquisition of natural language has been shown to fundamentally impact both one's ability to use the first language and the ability to learn subsequent languages later in life. Sign languages offer a unique perspective on this issue because Deaf signers receive access to signed input at varying ages. The majority acquires sign language in (early)…

Clerc, Olivier; Fort, Mathilde; Schwarzer, Gudrun; Krasotkina, Anna; Vilain, Anne; Méary, David; Loevenbruck, Hélène; Pascalis, Olivier – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
Between 6 and 9 months, while infant's ability to discriminate faces within their own racial group is maintained, discrimination of faces within other-race groups declines to a point where 9-month-old infants fail to discriminate other-race faces. Such face perception narrowing can be overcome in various ways at 9 or 12 months of age, such as…

Erim Kizildere; Tilbe Göksun – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2025
This longitudinal study investigated parents' different pretend play behaviors (substitution, animation, and role enactment) to their infants during free play and the bidirectional links with infants' vocabulary development at 14 months (Time-1: N = 34, M[subscript age] = 14.23 months) and 20 months (Time-2: N = 34, M[subscript age] = 20.33…

A Mediation Analysis to Disentangle Relations between Maternal Education and Early Child Development
Telias, Amanda; Narea, Marigen; Abufhele, Alejandra – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
Maternal education is associated with early child outcomes. However, the several mechanisms that may explain this relationship remain underexplored. Using data from 1,097 children aged 12-15 months in Chile, we estimate the maternal education gap across child cognitive and language outcomes. Following a bioecological perspective, we explore…

Osterhaus, Christopher; Kristen-Antonow, Susanne; Kloo, Daniela; Sodian, Beate – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
First-order theory of mind (ToM) development has shown to conform to a Guttman scale, with desire reasoning developing before belief reasoning. There have been attempts to test for internal consistency and scalability in advanced ToM, but not over a broad age range and only with a limited set of tasks. This 2-year longitudinal study (N = 155;…

The goal of this study was to track the progress of Italian children at risk for school failure enrolled in preschools based on the Reggio-Emilia approach. Risk factors considered included family socioeconomic status (SES), child receptive language, and child gender. Participants were 211 children (Mage = 60.8 months, 116 girls) in Reggio-inspired…

With the explosive growth in time spent on YouTube by babies and toddlers, it's important to analyze what they're watching on YouTube. Indexes that evaluate the contents of YouTube channels for infants and toddlers have been developed, but since those were evaluation-based indexes of educators and parents, it is difficult to find out what content…

Acha, Joana; Agirregoikoa, Ainhize; Barreto, Florencia B.; Arranz, Enrique – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2021
The role of working memory (WM) in language acquisition has been widely reported in the developmental literature, but few studies have explored the role of sentence recall in the way WM and related linguistic abilities evolve. This study seeks to explore the organization and development of the memory architecture underlying language using a…

Lahat, Ayelet; Perlman, Michal; Howe, Nina; Recchia, Holly E.; Bukowski, William M.; Santo, Jonathan B.; Luo, Zhangjing; Ross, Hildy – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2023
The frequency and length of games, conflicts, and contingency sequences that took place between toddlers as they got to know one another were studied using archival data. The sample consisted of 28 unfamiliar 20- and 30-month-old toddlers (predominantly White, 16 males) who met separately with each of two other toddlers for 18 play dates. The…
