Bastien, Kevin; Muckle, Gina; Ayotte, Pierre; Courtemanche, Yohann; Dodge, Neil C.; Jacobson, Joseph L.; Jacobson, Sandra W.; Saint-Amour, Dave – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2022
Inuit communities in Northern Quebec (Canada) are exposed to environmental contaminants, particularly to mercury, lead and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Previous studies reported adverse associations between these neurotoxicants and memory performance. Here we aimed to determine the associations of pre- and postnatal exposures to mercury, lead…

Merced-Nieves, Francheska M.; Chelonis, John; Pantic, Ivan; Schnass, Lourdes; Téllez-Rojo, Martha M.; Braun, Joseph M.; Paule, Merle G.; Wright, Rosalind J.; Wright, Robert O.; Curtin, Paul – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2022
Children are exposed to many trace elements throughout their development. Given their ubiquity and potential to have effects on children's neurodevelopment, these exposures are a public health concern. This study sought to identify trace element mixture-associated deficits in learning behavior using operant testing in a prospective cohort. We…

Dai, David Yun – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2019
Talent development constitutes an important phenomenon of human development; yet it is rarely considered a mainstream topic in the field of child and adolescent development. Conversely, in the field of gifted and talented studies, various talent development (TD) models developed in the past have had minimal interaction with the literature on child…

Johnson, Sara K. – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2021
Developmental scientists are often interested in subgroups of people who share commonalities in aspects of development; these subgroups often cannot be captured directly but instead must be inferred from other information. Mixture models can be used in these situations. Two specific types of mixture models, latent profile transition analyses and…

Liang, Xi; Lin, Yige; Van IJzendoorn, Marinus H.; Wang, Zhengyan – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2021
Grandmothers are important in Chinese families. This study explored the early emerging mother-grandmother-infant network and its association with child's socioemotional development in multigenerational families in a non-WEIRD country. The analytic sample included 60 children (T1: M[subscript age] = 6.5 months) and their caregivers residing in…

Bukowski, William M.; Dirks, Melanie; Persram, Ryan J.; Wright, Leah; Infantino, Erika – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2020
Although peer relations are recognized as a fundamental developmental context, they have been rarely studied as a means of understanding the effects of socioeconomic status and inequality. In this paper, we show how and why peer relations provide a unique and powerful opportunity to assess the differential risks and resources available in the peer…

Pérez, Isabela E.; Wu, Rachel; Murray, Carolyn B.; Bravo, Diamond – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2021
With increasing rates of globalization, understanding the cultural factors that promote positive adaptation in migrant children and adolescents is vital. In prior research, acculturation and enculturation frameworks often rely on unidimensional or bidimensional conceptions of culture to study the effects of migration on child and adolescent…

Wadhwa, Mansi; Cook, Thomas D. – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2019
This chapter highlights the key assumptions underlying Randomized Control Trials (RCTs) and illustrates them with regard to the practice of RCTs in the realm of child and adolescent development. Given the prominence of RCTs in policy research, we analyze the possible ways in which these assumptions might not be met by single randomized…

Dagan, Or; Sagi-Schwartz, Abraham – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2021
Early attachment has been commonly hypothesized to predict children's future developmental outcomes, and robust evidence relying on assessments of single caregiver-child attachment patterns has corroborated this hypothesis. Nevertheless, most often children are raised by multiple caregivers, and they tend to form attachment bonds with more than…

Trentacosta, Christopher J.; Mulligan, Daniel J. – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2020
Environmental contaminants, which include several heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants, and other harmful chemicals, impair several domains of child development. This article describes four themes from recent research on the impact of environmental contaminants on child development. The first theme, disparities in exposure, focuses on how…

Cross, Fernanda L.; Martinez, Saraí Blanco; Rivas-Drake, Deborah – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2021
Discriminatory legislation targeting Latinx immigrants in the United States has shifted how parents communicate with their children about the hostile political climate. One way that Latinx parents talk about and prepare their children to face prejudice is through ethnic-racial socialization, which can promote children's positive development. Few…

Wang, Ting; Xu, Qinmei; Hu, Jon-Fan – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2019
Learning constitutes a main developmental context for children everywhere. Learning-related emotions can affect cognition, motivation, and achievement and are associated with parenting. Studies on learning-related emotions and how parenting is associated with a child's emotional development in learning have been less conclusive for Chinese…

Barbot, Baptiste; Lubart, Todd I.; Besançon, Maud – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2016
This article reviews developmental studies of creativity in children and adolescents with a focus on "peaks" and "slumps" that have often been described in the literature. The irregularity of the development of creativity is interpreted in light of conceptual and measurement issues and with regard to the interaction between…

Miller, Alison L. – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2022
Child environmental health (CEH) science has identified numerous effects of early life exposures to common, ubiquitous environmental toxicants. CEH scientists have documented the costs not only to individual children but also to population-level health effects of such exposures. Importantly, such risks are unequally distributed in the population,…

Runco, Mark A. – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2016
The articles in this issue of "New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development" nicely summarize recent findings about creativity and development. This commentary underscores some of the key ideas and puts them into a larger context (i.e., the corpus of creativity research). It pinpoints areas of agreement (e.g., the need to take…
