Direct linkFast, Anne A.; Morelli, Sylvia A.; Zaki, Jamil; Olson, Kristina R. – Infant and Child Development, 2022
From an early age, children act generously towards one another, but the situational features that promote generous decision-making remain under investigation. The current study tests the impact of being identifiable--as a recipient of generosity, a giver, or both--on children's generosity. Six-year-old children (N = 129) allocated resources to a…

Mackenzie Swirbul; Gigliana Melzi – Child Development Perspectives, 2024
Young children's early math experiences are culturally situated, occurring in the context of everyday family interactions and routines. Yet, we know little about the math experiences in culturally and linguistically minoritized families, including those from Latine communities. In this article, we provide the first review of research on family…

Stefanaki, Areti; Gkogkos, Georgios; Varlokosta, Spyridoula; Gena, Angeliki – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Infants develop attachment to their caregivers very early on. The quality of attachment is considered to be crucial for the emotional development of humans and animals alike. Despite its importance, very little is known about how attachment develops between children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their caregivers. The purpose of the…

Restricted and repetitive behaviours vary greatly between autistic people. Some are a source of pleasure or create opportunities for learning; others may be detrimental in day-to-day life or cause harm. We have developed, in close collaboration with parents/carers, the Understanding Repetitive Behaviours programme, designed for families of young…

Mélanie van Barreveld; Annette Scheper; Constance Vissers; Iris Duinmeijer; Britt Hakvoort – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2025
Background: It is well-established that children and adolescents with developmental language disorder (DLD) have social-emotional difficulties. This is reflected in their behaviour, for instance, by (social) withdrawal, hyperactivity or difficulty with peer relations. Children with DLD are also known to have poorer quality of life (QoL). This is…

Romero-Tena, Rosalía; Barragán-Sánchez, Raquel; Martínez-Pérez, Sandra; Palacios-Rodríguez, Antonio – Digital Education Review, 2022
The use of technologies at home directly influences how children perceive them for their learning at school. Numerous studies have focused on the different ways in which digital technologies are used at home and in schools. These studies attempt to explain how previous experience and knowledge can be linked to the use of technologies at school,…

Tang, Yulong; Harris, Paul L.; Zou, Hong; Wang, Juan; Zhang, Zhinuo – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2021
A considerable body of research has shown that preschoolers who have a better understanding of emotions also have better social competence. In the present study, we focused on the potential roles that verbal ability and working memory may play in the relationship. A total of 187 4- to 6-year-old preschoolers completed: (i) the Test of Emotion…

Ines Van keer; Noor Seghers; Karla Van Leeuwen; Bea Maes – Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 2020
Families including a young child with a significant cognitive and motor developmental delay need to adapt their routines to the child's needs, while balancing the resources, needs and values of the whole family system. We aim to characterize if and how their routines are sustainable in terms of ecological fit, congruence and meaningfulness, in…

Jones, Rebecca M.; Tarpey, Thaddeus; Hamo, Amarelle; Carberry, Caroline; Brouwer, Gijs; Lord, Catherine – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Statistical learning-extracting regularities in the environment-may underlie complex social behavior. 124 children, 56 with autism and 68 typically developing, ages 2-8 years, completed a novel visual statistical learning task on an iPad. Averaged together, children with autism demonstrated less learning on the task compared to typically…

Schermer, Maike; Fosker, Tim – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2020
Arguably one of the most valuable tools for investigating pupil behaviour in an educational environment is systematic classroom observation. Classroom observation is often cited as having the potential to enable research of the learning process in action. Low inference classroom observation instruments are designed to record a sequence of data…

Mason, Rihana S.; Bass, Lori A. – Early Education and Development, 2020
Research Findings Research suggests children from low-income environments have vocabularies that differ from those of their higher-income peers. They may have basic knowledge of many words of which children from higher income environments have acquired sub- or supra-ordinate knowledge. This study sought to determine if children from low-income…
