Lange-Küttner, Christiane; Collins, Chenelle L.; Ahmed, Rahima K.; Fisher, Lauren E. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
The relation between perceptual and conceptual knowledge is a longstanding research question in developmental psychology. Here we tested children's dependence on figurative information with a reaction time/accuracy task. A sample of 151 children from 5 to 10 years were assessed from two multicultural and multiracial schools in the London (UK)…

Ambrosi, Solène; Smigasiewicz, Kamila; Burle, Boris; Blaye, Agnès – Developmental Psychology, 2020
Interference control is central to cognitive control and, more generally, to many aspects of development. Despite its importance, the understanding of the processes underlying mean interference effects across development is still limited. When measured through conflict tasks, mean interference effects reflect both the strength of the initial…

Petersen, Isaac T.; Bates, John E.; McQuillan, Maureen E.; Hoyniak, Caroline P.; Staples, Angela D.; Rudasill, Kathleen M.; Molfese, Dennis L.; Molfese, Victoria J. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Inhibitory control has been widely studied in association with social and academic adjustment. However, prior studies have generally overlooked the potential heterotypic continuity of inhibitory control and how this could affect assessment and understanding of its development. In the present study, we systematically considered heterotypic…

Cragg, Lucy – Developmental Psychology, 2016
Interference control, the ability to overcome distraction from irrelevant information, undergoes considerable improvement during childhood, yet the mechanisms driving these changes remain unclear. The present study investigated the relative influence of interference at the level of the stimulus or the response. Seven-, 10-, and 20-year-olds…

Cioffi, Camille C.; Griffin, Amanda M.; Natsuaki, Misaki N.; Shaw, Daniel S.; Reiss, David; Ganiban, Jody M.; Neiderhiser, Jenae M.; Leve, Leslie D. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Understanding the role of negative emotionality in the development of executive functioning (EF) and language skills can help identify developmental windows that may provide promising opportunities for intervention. In addition, because EF and language skills are, in part, genetically influenced, intergenerational transmission patterns are…

Gueron-Sela, Noa; Camerota, Marie; Willoughby, Michael T.; Vernon-Feagans, Lynne; Cox, Martha J. – Developmental Psychology, 2018
This study examined the independent and mediated associations between maternal depression symptoms (MDS), mother-child interaction, and child executive function (EF) in a prospective longitudinal sample of 1,037 children (50% boys) from predominantly low-income and rural communities. When children were 6, 15 and 24 months of age, mothers reported…

Rodríguez-Villagra, Odir Antonio; Göthe, Katrin; Oberauer, Klaus; Kliegl, Reinhold – Developmental Psychology, 2013
We tested the limits of working-memory capacity (WMC) of young adults, old adults, and children with a memory-updating task. The task consisted of mentally shifting spatial positions within a grid according to arrows, their color signaling either only go (control) or go/no-go conditions. The interference model (IM) of Oberauer and Kliegl (2006)…
