A recent Registered Replication Report (RRR) of the development of verbal rehearsal during serial recall revealed that children verbalized at younger ages than previously thought, but did not identify sources of individual differences. Here, we use mediation analysis to reanalyze data from the 934 children ranging from 5 to 10 years old from the…

Children's Knowledge of Symbolic Number in Grades 1 and 2: Integration of Associations
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Xu, Chang; LeFevre, Jo-Anne – Child Development, 2021
How do children develop associations among number symbols? For Grade 1 children (n = 66, M = 78 months), sequence knowledge (i.e., identify missing numbers) and number comparison (i.e., choose larger number) predicted addition, both concurrently and indirectly at the end of Grade 1. Number ordering (i.e., touch numbers in order) did not predict…

Development of Auditory Cognition in 5- to 10-Year-Old Children: Focus on Musical and Verbal Short-Term Memory
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Ginzburg, Jérémie; Moulin, Annie; Fornoni, Lesly; Talamini, Francesca; Tillmann, Barbara; Caclin, Anne – Developmental Science, 2022
Developmental aspects of auditory cognition were investigated in 5-to-10-year-old children (n = 100). Musical and verbal short-term memory (STM) were assessed by means of delayed matching-to-sample tasks (DMST) (comparison of two four-item sequences separated by a silent retention delay), with two levels of difficulty. For musical and verbal…

Cognitive Offloading: Structuring the Environment to Improve Children's Working Memory Task Performance
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Berry, Ed D. J.; Allen, Richard J.; Mon-Williams, Mark; Waterman, Amanda H. – Cognitive Science, 2019
Research has shown that adults can engage in cognitive offloading, whereby internal processes are offloaded onto the environment to help task performance. Here, we investigate an application of this approach with children, in particular children with poor working memory. Participants were required to remember and recall sequences of colors by…

On the Relation between Procedural Learning and Syntactic Proficiency in Gifted Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Spit, Sybren; Rispens, Judith – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2019
Gifted children are described as very talented children who achieve more than their age mates in one or more domains (Steiner and Carr in Educ Psychol Rev 15(3):215-246, 2003). These children potentially share a cognitive advantage enabling them to excel in language, but also in other domains. In the present study we explored whether gifted…

Counterfactual Thinking and Educational Psychology
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hill, Joanna – Educational Psychology in Practice, 2017
Counterfactual thinking refers to imaginative thoughts about what might have been ("if only" or "what if") which are intrinsically linked to self-conscious emotions (regret and guilt) and social judgements (blame). Research in adults suggests that the focus of these thoughts is influenced by order (temporal and causal). Little…
