Virginie Crollen; Margot Buyle; Christine Schiltz; Aliette Lochy – Developmental Science, 2025
Numbers and letters are culturally created symbols that acquire meaning through extensive training, significantly influencing brain function. The distinct hemispheric specialization of cortical regions for these categories has been hypothesized to relate to the co-activated brain networks: the left language regions for letters, and the right…

Kelsey E. Davison; Talia Liu; Rebecca M. Belisle; Tyler K. Perrachione; Zhenghan Qi; John D. E. Gabrieli; Helen Tager-Flusberg; Jennifer Zuk – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Converging research suggests that speech timing, including altered rate and pausing when speaking, can distinguish autistic individuals from nonautistic peers. Although speech timing can impact effective social communication, it remains unclear what mechanisms underlie individual differences in speech timing in autism. Method: The present…

L. Rodrigo Patino; Allison S. Wilson; Maxwell J. Tallman; Thomas J. Blom; Melissa P. DelBello; Robert K. McNamara – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2024
Objective: To compare neurofunctional responses in emotional and attentional networks of psychostimulant-free ADHD youth with and without familial risk for bipolar I disorder (BD). Methods: ADHD youth with (high-risk, HR, n = 48) and without (low-risk, LR, n = 50) a first-degree relative with BD and healthy controls (n = 46) underwent functional…

Palmis, Sarah; Velay, Jean-Luc; Habib, Michel; Anton, Jean-Luc; Nazarian, Bruno; Sein, Julien; Longcamp, Marieke – Developmental Science, 2021
While the brain network supporting handwriting has previously been defined in adults, its organization in children has never been investigated. We compared the handwriting network of 23 adults and 42 children (8- to 11-year-old). Participants were instructed to write the alphabet, the days of the week, and to draw loops while being scanned. The…

Hoffmann, Ferdinand; Grosse Wiesmann, Charlotte; Singer, Tania; Steinbeis, Nikolaus – Developmental Science, 2022
Childhood is marked by profound changes in prosocial behaviour. The underlying motivational mechanisms remain poorly understood. We investigated the development of altruistically motivated helping in middle childhood and the neurocognitive and -affective mechanisms driving this development. One-hundred and twenty seven 6-12 year-old children…

Panda, Erin J.; Emami, Zahra; Valiante, Taufik A.; Pang, Elizabeth W. – Developmental Science, 2021
As we listen to speech, our ability to understand what was said requires us to retrieve and bind together individual word meanings into a coherent discourse representation. This so-called semantic unification is a fundamental cognitive skill, and its development relies on the integration of neural activity throughout widely distributed functional…

Sun, Xin; Marks, Rebecca A.; Zhang, Kehui; Yu, Chi-Lin; Eggleston, Rachel L.; Nickerson, Nia; Chou, Tai-Li; Hu, Xiao-Su; Tardif, Twila; Satterfield, Teresa; Kovelman, Ioulia – Developmental Science, 2023
How do early bilingual experiences influence children's neural architecture for word processing? Dual language acquisition can yield common influences that may be shared across different bilingual groups, as well as language-specific influences stemming from a given language pairing. To investigate these effects, we examined bilingual English…

Baram, Tallie Z.; Donato, Flavio; Holmes, Gregory L. – Learning & Memory, 2019
Spatial memory, the aspect of memory involving encoding and retrieval of information regarding one's environment and spatial orientation, is a complex biological function incorporating multiple neuronal networks. Hippocampus-dependent spatial memory is not innate and emerges during development in both humans and rodents. In children,…

Yaple, Zachary; Arsalidou, Marie – Child Development, 2018
The "n"-back task is likely the most popular measure of working memory for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies. Despite accumulating neuroimaging studies with the "n"-back task and children, its neural representation is still unclear. fMRI studies that used the "n"-back were compiled, and data from…

Estrada, Eduardo; Ferrer, Emilio; Román, Francisco J.; Karama, Sherif; Colom, Roberto – Developmental Psychology, 2019
Throughout childhood and adolescence, humans experience marked changes in cortical structure and cognitive ability. Cortical thickness and surface area, in particular, have been associated with cognitive ability. Here we ask the question: What are the time-related associations between cognitive changes and cortical structure maturation.…

Lin, Hsiang-Yuan; Ni, Hsing-Chang; Tseng, Wen-Yih Isaac; Gau, Susan Shur-Fen – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
While a considerable number of youth with autism spectrum disorder exhibit impaired self-regulation (dysregulation), little is known about the neural correlates of dysregulation in autism spectrum disorder. In a sample of intellectually able boys with autism spectrum disorder (further categorized as those with and without dysregulation) and…

Park, Joonkoo; van den Berg, Berry; Chiang, Crystal; Woldorff, Marty G.; Brannon, Elizabeth M. – Developmental Science, 2018
Adult neuroimaging studies have demonstrated dissociable neural activation patterns in the visual cortex in response to letters (Latin alphabet) and numbers (Arabic numerals), which suggest a strong experiential influence of reading and mathematics on the human visual system. Here, developmental trajectories in the event-related potential (ERP)…

Gullick, Margaret M.; Demir-Lira, Özlem Ece; Booth, James R. – Developmental Science, 2016
Low socioeconomic status (SES) has been repeatedly linked with decreased academic achievement, including lower reading outcomes. Some lower SES children do show skills and scores commensurate with those of their higher SES peers, but whether their abilities stem from the same systems as high SES children or are based on divergent strategies is…

Koen, Bobbie Jean; Hawkins, Jacqueline; Zhu, Xi; Jansen, Ben; Fan, Weihua; Johnson, Sharon – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2018
Fluency is used as an indicator of reading proficiency. Many students with reading disabilities are unable to benefit from typical interventions. This study is designed to replicate Lorusso, Facoetti, Paganoni, Pezzani, and Molteni's (2006) work using FlashWord, a computer program that tachistoscopically presents words in the right or left visual…

Pellis, Sergio M.; Pellis, Vivien C.; Himmler, Brett T. – American Journal of Play, 2014
Studies of rats and some primates show that rough-and-tumble play among juveniles improves social competence, cognition, and emotional regulation later in life. Most critically, such play makes animals better able to respond to unexpected situations. But not all animals engage in play, and not all animals that play appear to gain these benefits.…
