Pretend play is important for children's development. However, recent research indicates that, as preschool children age and get more proficient at pretend play, they prefer real objects.

Yanaoka, Kaichi; Saito, Satoru – Developmental Psychology, 2019
A wealth of developmental research suggests that preschoolers are capable of reporting, imitating, and performing sequential actions they engage in routinely. However, few studies have explored the developmental and cognitive mechanisms required for learning how to perform such routines. A previous computational model of routines argued that a…

Yanaoka, Kaichi; Nakayama, Masataka; Jarrold, Christopher; Saito, Satoru – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
The Hebb repetition paradigm has recently attracted attention as a measure of serial order learning, which underlies word-form learning abilities. Although children are good vocabulary learners, it is surprising that previous Hebb learning studies with young children show rather weak Hebb effects. In this study, we conducted two experiments to…
