Sleep Electroencephalogram (EEG) Oscillations and Associated Memory Processing during Childhood and Early Adolescence
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kurz, Eva-Maria; Zinke, Katharina; Born, Jan – Developmental Psychology, 2023
The architecture of sleep undergoes distinct changes during childhood and early adolescence. Slow wave sleep is involved in memory processing and may support active consolidation of newly encoded representations to support the formation of abstracted "gist" memories. Here, we examined sleep and overnight memory formation in German school…

Speech Categorization Develops Slowly through Adolescence
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
McMurray, Bob; Danelz, Ani; Rigler, Hannah; Seedorff, Michael – Developmental Psychology, 2018
The development of the ability to categorize speech sounds is often viewed as occurring primarily during infancy via perceptual learning mechanisms. However, a number of studies suggest that even after infancy, children's categories become more categorical and well defined through about age 12. We investigated the cognitive changes that may be…

The Development of Global Coherence in Life Narratives across Adolescence: Temporal, Causal, and Thematic Aspects
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Habermas, Tilmann; de Silveira, Cybele – Developmental Psychology, 2008
Extending the study of autobiographical narratives to entire life narratives, we tested the emergence of globally coherent life narratives in adolescence, as hypothesized by McAdams (1985). Participants were 102 children and young adults (ages 8, 12, 16, and 20 years) who narrated their lives twice. Between narrations, half of each age group…

Selective Remembering During Adolescence.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bray, Norman W.; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1985
Use of strategies to eliminate interference from irrelevant information in memory was investigated for 11-, 15-, and 18-year-olds. A directed forgetting paradigm was introduced. Results suggest that 11-year-olds use adequate selective remembering strategy, but not selective rehearsal: most 15- and 18-year-olds did. (Author/DST)

The Development of the Proportionality Scheme in Children and Adolescents
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Brainerd, Charles J. – Developmental Psychology, 1971
In general, this cross-sectional validation study supports Inhelder and Piaget's claims about the development of concepts of volume and density more easily than younger subjects. (Author/WY)

Adolescents' Performance on the Iowa Gambling Task: Implications for the Development of Decision Making and Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hooper, Catalina J.; Luciana, Monica; Conklin, Heather M.; Yarger, Rebecca S. – Developmental Psychology, 2004
Healthy adolescents (79 girls, 66 boys), ages 9-17, completed the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT; A. Bechara, A. R. Damasio, H. Damasio, & S. W. Anderson, 1994) as well as working memory (digit span) and behavioral inhibition (go/no-go) tasks. Cross-sectional age-related changes were seen on all 3 tasks. Gender differences were seen in IGT deck…

Physical Maturation Rate and Cognitive Performance in Early Adolescence: A Longitudinal Examination.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Waber, Deborah P.; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1985
A longitudinal study examined (1) development of relationship between physical maturation rate and cognitive performance as children become adolescent and (2) specific components of cognitive processing linked to physical maturation-related differences in performance on cognitive ability tasks. Differences were detected on cognitive process tasks.…
