María del Mar Montoya Rodríguez; Francisco J. Molina Cobos; Vanesa Martínez-Valderrey; Pablo Molina Moreno; Sofía Pizzarossa; Julieta Feris; Valentina Compá; Vanessa A. de Souza – Journal of Information Technology Education: Innovations in Practice, 2025
Aim/Purpose: This study explores the effectiveness of a virtual reality (VR) application designed to teach Theory of Mind (ToM) skills to children aged 5-6, addressing the gap in research on the use of VR for typically developing children. Background: ToM is a critical skill for social interaction and understanding others' perspectives. Despite…

Gaynor, Alan Kibbe – Journal of Education, 2015
A systemic analysis of early childhood development factors explains the variance in school readiness among representative U.S. 5-year-olds. The underlying theory incorporates a set of causally interactive endogenous variables that are hypothesized to be driven by the effects of three exogenous variables: parental education, immigrant status and…

Jones, Gary; Gobet, Fernand; Pine, Julian M. – Cognitive Science, 2008
Increasing working memory (WM) capacity is often cited as a major influence on children's development and yet WM capacity is difficult to examine independently of long-term knowledge. A computational model of children's nonword repetition (NWR) performance is presented that independently manipulates long-term knowledge and WM capacity to determine…

Passig, David; Eden, Sigal – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2010
This study sought to test the most efficient representation mode with which children with hearing impairment could express a story while producing connectives indicating relations of time and of cause and effect. Using Bruner's (1973, 1986, 1990) representation stages, we tested the comparative effectiveness of Virtual Reality (VR) as a mode of…

Colunga, Eliana; Smith, Linda B. – Psychological Review, 2005
In the novel noun generalization task, 2 1/2-year-old children display generalized expectations about how solid and nonsolid things are named, extending names for never-before-encountered solids by shape and for never-before-encountered nonsolids by material. This distinction between solids and nonsolids has been interpreted in terms of an…
