Sally Hang; Geneva M. Jost; Amanda E. Guyer; Richard W. Robins; Paul D. Hastings; Camelia E. Hostinar – Child Development Perspectives, 2024
Loneliness becomes more prevalent as youth transition from childhood into adolescence. A key underlying process may be the puberty-related increase in biological stress reactivity, which can alter social behavior and elicit conflict or social withdrawal (fight-or-flight behaviors) in some youth, but increase prosocial (tend-and-befriend) responses…

Prinstein, Mitchell J.; Giletta, Matteo – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly: Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2021
Over the past 50 years, a large body of work has demonstrated that during childhood and adolescence peers are strong socialization agents influencing youth development across a wide array of behavioral domains. In this report, we highlight how this long-standing research focus on peer influence may benefit from undertaking new directions that have…

Rathnakumar, D. – Shanlax International Journal of Education, 2020
We are witnessing tremendous changes day by day in the educational field, and new avenues of knowledge are opened up almost daily. Innovations in behavioral psychology and educational technology would certainly balance the disparity in learning that arises due to physical, economic, and social factors. There is an ability within every child, and…

McMullen, Jake; Chan, Jenny Yun-Chen; Mazzocco, Michèle M. M.; Hannula-Sormunen, Minna M. – Research in Mathematics Education, 2019
A growing body of evidence reveals the need for research on, and consideration for, children's and students' own--self-guided--spontaneous use of mathematical reasoning and knowledge in action. Spontaneous focusing on numerosity (SFON) and quantitative relations (SFOR) have been implicated as key components of mathematical development. In this…

McMullen, Jake; Verschaffel, Lieven; Hannula-Sormunen, Minna M. – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2020
Children's own spontaneous mathematical activities are crucial for their mathematical development. Mathematical thinking and learning does not only occur in explicitly mathematical situations, such as the classroom. Those children with higher tendencies to recognize and use mathematical aspects of their everyday surroundings, both within the…

Silliman, Elaine R. – Topics in Language Disorders, 2010
In honor of Dr. Katherine Butler's extraordinary leadership of "Topics in Language Disorders," this article takes up her 1982 challenge to reach toward greater understanding of individual differences in the use of oral and written language by children with language learning disability. The article focuses on 3 interconnected dimensions of learning…

Beauchamp, Miriam H.; Anderson, Vicki – Psychological Bulletin, 2010
Despite significant advances in the field of social neuroscience, much remains to be understood regarding the development and maintenance of social skills across the life span. Few comprehensive models exist that integrate multidisciplinary perspectives and explain the multitude of factors that influence the emergence and expression of social…

Putnam, Samuel P.; Stifter, Cynthia A. – Infant and Child Development, 2008
Through her theoretical and empirical work, Mary Rothbart has had a profound impact on the scientific understanding of infant and child temperament. This special issue honors her contributions through the presentations of original, contemporary studies relevant to three primary themes in Rothbart's conceptual approach: the expansive scope and…

Boles, David B.; Barth, Joan M.; Merrill, Edward C. – Brain and Cognition, 2008
Hemispheric asymmetry implies the existence of developmental influences that affect one hemisphere more than the other. However, those influences are poorly understood. One simple view is that asymmetry may exist because of a relationship between a mental process' degree of lateralization and how well it functions. Data scaling issues have largely…

Exchange: The Early Childhood Leaders' Magazine Since 1978, 2006
This article describes NIPPA and its effort to give young children a voice on issues which affect them. NIPPA, the Early Years Organisation, is the largest voluntary organisation in Northern Ireland working with children 0-12 and their families. Embedded in the culture of the organisation is a philosophy of actively listening to young children.…

Carr, Sarah – Education Writers Association, 2013
Many education reporters are drawn to the beat because of its complexity and rich variety. Few topics provide such a wealth of political, business, human interest, breaking news, feature, and investigative stories. A reporter's day can start in a classroom with 4-year-olds struggling to learn to read, and end at a school board meeting with…

DeMarco, Salvatore; Bolen, Larry M. – Psychology in the Schools, 1990
Presents five clinical case studies of children with depressed performance on the Expressive One-Word Picture Vocabulary Test (EOWPVT) to illustrate differential performance outcomes that are not attributable to a single causal factor. Proposes that the utility of the EOWPVT may provide more than just a measure of general verbal intelligence.…

Lewis, Marc D.; Todd, Rebecca M. – Cognitive Development, 2007
To speak of cognitive regulation versus emotion regulation may be misleading. However, some forms of regulation are carried out by executive processes, subject to voluntary control, while others are carried out by "automatic" processes that are far more primitive. Both sets of processes are in constant interaction, and that interaction gives rise…

Sherer, Michelle R.; Schreibman, Laura – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 2005
Differential responsiveness to intervention programs suggests the inadequacy of a single treatment approach for all children with autism. One method for reducing outcome variability is to identify participant characteristics associated with different outcomes for a specific intervention. In this investigation, an analysis of archival data yielded…

Zhu, Liqi; Gigerenzer, Gerd – Cognition, 2006
Can children reason the Bayesian way? We argue that the answer to this question depends on how numbers are represented, because a representation can do part of the computation. We test, for the first time, whether Bayesian reasoning can be elicited in children by means of natural frequencies. We show that when information was presented to fourth,…
