Fritzley, V. Heather; Lindsay, Rod C. L.; Lee, Kang – Child Development, 2013
Two experiments investigated response tendencies of preschoolers toward yes-no questions about actions.

Developmental Changes in Auditory Temporal Perception.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Morrongiello, Barbara A.; And Others – Child Development, 1984
Infants, preschoolers, and adults were tested to determine the shortest time interval at which they would respond to the precedence effect, an auditory phenomenon produced by presenting the same sound through two loudspeakers with the input to one loudspeaker delayed in relation to the other. Results revealed developmental differences in threshold…

Extended Visual Fixation and Distractibility in Children from Six to Twenty-Four Months of Age.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Richards, John E.; Turner, Erin D. – Child Development, 2001
Examined distractibility during visual fixations in 6- to 24-month-olds. Found that latency to turn toward a distractor was a function of length of look before distractor onset. Immediately before onset, children had greater sustained lowered heart rate for trials on which they continued looking at television monitor than for trials on which they…

When Half a Word Is Enough: Infants Can Recognize Spoken Words Using Partial Phonetic Information.

Two experiments tracked infants' eye movements to examine use of word-initial information to understand fluent speech. Results indicated that 21- and 18-month-olds recognized partial words as quickly and reliably as whole words. Infants' productive vocabulary and reaction time were related to word recognition accuracy. Results show that…

The Effects of Sleep Restriction and Extension on School-Age Children: What a Difference an Hour Makes.

Sadeh, Avi; Gruber, Reut; Raviv, Amiram – Child Development, 2003
Assessed effects of sleep restriction and extension on 9- to 12-year-olds' neurobehavioral functioning. Found that modest sleep restriction led to improved sleep quality but to reduced reported alertness. Children who extended sleep improved significantly from baseline their performance on the digit forward memory test and reaction time on the…
