Gámez, Perla B.; Palermo, Francisco; Perry, Jordan S.; Galindo, Maily – Developmental Science, 2023
There is a well-documented link between bilingual language development and the relative amounts of exposure to each language. Less is known about the role of quality indicators of caregiver-child interactions in bilingual homes, including caregiver input diversity, warmth and sensitivity. This longitudinal study examines the relation between…

Ying Li; Talia Q. Halleck; Laura Evans; Paras Bhagwat Bassuk; Leiana Paz; Ö. Ece Demir-Lira – Developmental Science, 2024
In this study, we aimed to determine the role of parental praise and child affect in the neural processes underlying parent-child interactions, utilizing functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) hyperscanning. We characterized the dynamic changes in interpersonal neural synchrony (INS) between parents and children (4-6 years old, n = 40…

Cognitive science has demonstrated that we construct knowledge about the world by abstracting patterns from routinely encountered experiences and storing them as semantic memories. This preregistered study tested the hypothesis that caregiving-related early adversities (crEAs) shape affective semantic memories to reflect the content of those…

Hoffmann, Ferdinand; Grosse Wiesmann, Charlotte; Singer, Tania; Steinbeis, Nikolaus – Developmental Science, 2022
Childhood is marked by profound changes in prosocial behaviour. The underlying motivational mechanisms remain poorly understood. We investigated the development of altruistically motivated helping in middle childhood and the neurocognitive and -affective mechanisms driving this development. One-hundred and twenty seven 6-12 year-old children…

Mark Wade; Victoria Parker; Alva Tang; Nathan A. Fox; Charles H. Zeanah; Charles A. Nelson – Developmental Science, 2024
There is no relationship more vital than the one a child shares with their primary caregivers early in development. Yet many children worldwide are raised in settings that lack the warmth, connection, and stimulation provided by a responsive primary caregiver. In this study, we used data from the Bucharest Early Intervention Project (BEIP), a…

Garon, Nancy; Zwaigenbaum, Lonnie; Bryson, Susan E.; Smith, Isabel M.; Brian, Jessica; Roncadin, Caroline; Vaillancourt, Tracy; Armstrong, Vickie L.; Sacrey, Lori-Ann R.; Roberts, Wendy – Developmental Science, 2022
Research concerning temperament in children and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has suggested a consistent profile of low positive affect, high negative affect, and low regulation (Visser et al., 2016). One area receiving less attention is individual differences among children diagnosed with ASD. The primary objective of this study was…

Obradovic, Jelena; Finch, Jenna E.; Connolly, Catie; Siyal, Saima; Yousafzai, Aisha K. – Developmental Science, 2022
Performance-based measures of children's executive functions (EFs) do not capture children's application of these skills during everyday emotionally-laden and socially-mediated interactions. The current study demonstrates the value of using assessor report of self-regulation behaviors (inhibitory control and positive affect/engagement) in addition…
