Holmboe, Karla; Pasco Fearon, R. M.; Csibra, Gergely; Tucker, Leslie A.; Johnson, Mark H. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2008
The current study investigated a new, easily administered, visual inhibition task for infants termed the Freeze-Frame task. In the new task, 9-month-olds were encouraged to inhibit looks to peripheral distractors. This was done by briefly freezing a central animated stimulus when infants looked to the distractors. Half of the trials presented an…

London, Kamala; Nunez, Narina – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2002
Investigated whether 4- to 6-year-olds' ability to reason about truths and lies influenced their truth-telling behavior. Found that children's performance on truth/lie questions did not predict their truth-telling. Regardless of performance on truth/lie questions, children receiving developmentally appropriate truth/lie discussions gave more…

Ansari, Daniel; Donlan, Chris; Thomas, Michael S.C.; Ewing, Sandra A.; Peen, Tiffany; Kapmiloff-Smith, Annette – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2003
Understanding of the cardinality principle in children with Williams Syndrome (WS) was compared to that of typically developing children. Findings indicated that such understanding was extremely delayed in WS children and only at the level predicted by their visuo-spatial mental age. Findings suggested that visuo-spatial ability played a greater…

Torgesen, Joseph K.; Davis, Charlotte – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1996
Cognitive abilities that predicted growth in response to a 12-week training program in phonological awareness were investigated in 100 kindergarten children. Findings suggested that growth in analytic awareness was predicted by invented spelling and general verbal ability, while growth in synthetic awareness was predicted by a combination of…

Goswami, Usha – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2002
Describes phonological sensitivity at different grain sizes as a good predictor of reading acquisition in all languages. Presents information on development of phonological sensitivity for syllables, onsets, and rimes. Illustrates that phoneme-level skills develop fastest in children acquiring orthographically consistent languages with simple…

Cirrin, Frank M. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1984
Investigates the retrieval of words from lexical memory in kindergartners, first graders, third graders, and adults. A lexical decision task with auditorily presented words and nonwords was used, with decision latency as the dependent variable. Results were considered in relation to a model of the lexicon in children and adults. (Author/CI)
