Direct linkEidson, R. Cole; Coley, John D. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2014
We examined young adults' essentialist reasoning about gender categories. Previous developmental results suggest that until age 9 or 10, children show marked essentialist reasoning about gender, but this disappears by early adulthood. In contrast, results from social cognition suggest that essentialist thinking about social categories persists…

Russo-Ponsaran, Nicole M.; Berry-Kravis, Elizabeth; McKown, Clark A.; Lipton, Meryl – Journal of Mental Health Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2014
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a well-described inherited cause of intellectual disability and the most common known genetic cause of autism. Social deficits in girls with FXS are not well understood. To better understand barriers to social functioning that may contribute to mental health outcomes, we administered a theoretically based social…

Friedman-Krauss, Allison H.; Raver, C. Cybele – Developmental Psychology, 2015
Children growing up in poverty have a higher likelihood of exposure to multiple forms of adversity that jeopardize their chances of academic success. The current paper identifies school mobility, or changing schools, as 1 such poverty-related risk. Using a sample of low-income, predominantly ethnic-minority children (n = 381) in Chicago, this…

Pontifex, Matthew B.; Broglio, Steven P.; Drollette, Eric S.; Scudder, Mark R.; Johnson, Chris R.; O'Connor, Phillip M.; Hillman, Charles H. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2012
We assessed the extent to which failures in sustained attention were associated with chronic mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) deficits in cognitive control among college-age young adults with and without a history of sport-related concussion. Participants completed the ImPACT computer-based assessment and a modified flanker task. Results…

Cepeda, Nicholas J.; Blackwell, Katharine A.; Munakata, Yuko – Developmental Science, 2013
The rate at which people process information appears to influence many aspects of cognition across the lifespan. However, many commonly accepted measures of "processing speed" may require goal maintenance, manipulation of information in working memory, and decision-making, blurring the distinction between processing speed and executive…

HALEY, JOHN V.; RIMOLDI, H.J.A. – 1962
QUESTION-STUDY AS A METHOD FOR INTERPRETING AND MEASURING PROBLEM-SOLVING BEHAVIOR WAS STUDIED. DATA WERE OBTAINED FROM A PREVIOUS STUDY (ED 003 005) AND ANALYZED. ANALYSES WERE PERFORMED TO DETERMINE WHETHER QUESTIONS WERE MORE USEFUL FOR ASSESSING PROBLEM-SOLVING BEHAVIOR THAN ANALYSIS OF SOLUTIONS. TECHNIQUES, FORMULAE, AND RESULTS PERTINENT TO…

RIMOLDI, H.J.A.; AND OTHERS – 1962
INTERRELATIONS AMONG PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL VARIABLES OPERATING DURING PROBLEM-SOLVING TRIALS WERE STUDIED. A SIMULTANEOUS ANALYSIS OF THESE VARIABLES AIMS AT A STUDY OF STRESSES DEVELOPING WHEN SUBJECTS ATTEMPT PROBLEM-SOLVING. QUESTION-STUDY INTERPRETIVE TECHNIQUES AND PROBLEMS REFERENCED IN EARLIER REPORTS (ED 003 005 AND ED 003 006)…

FOGLIATTO, HERMELINDA M.; AND OTHERS – 1962
DIFFERENCES WERE STUDIED AMONG NEUROTIC AND SCHIZOPHRENIC PERFORMANCES, ELICITED BY THE WECHSLER-BELLEVUE ADULT INTELLIGENCE SCALE (PICTURE ARRANGEMENT SUBTEST). TWO GROUPS OF 40 ABNORMAL ADULT SUBJECTS WITH INTELLIGENCE QUOTIENTS BETWEEN 84 AND 116 WERE TESTED. ONE-HALF OF THE SUBJECTS WERE SCHIZOPHRENIC. SUBJECTS WERE REQUIRED TO ARRANGE CARDS…

DEVANE, J.R.; RIMOLDI, H.J.A. – 1961
CHANGES WERE STUDIED IN THE PROBLEM-SOLVING BEHAVIOR OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AS A FUNCTION OF A CAREFULLY DESIGNED TRAINING PROGRAM. TRAINING WAS DEFINED AS THE DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENT AWARENESS OF PROBLEM-SOLVING STRATEGIES USED. INSTRUMENTS WERE DEVELOPED AND REFINED TO MEASURE PROBLEM-SOLVING BEHAVIOR. SPECIFICALLY TESTED WAS THE FOLLOWING…
