Ahmad, Faizan; Zongwei, Luo; Ahmed, Zeeshan; Muneeb, Sara – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
An insight regarding few of the experiences during video games playing activity is still fuzzy. This paper presents an extensive empirical study that analyzes the experiences of 100 participants (i.e. 25 children, younger adults, older adults, and elders each) during brain games play. This concludes a number of significant correlations among the…

Lauren A. Cameron; Bruce J. Tonge; Patricia Howlin; Stewart L. Einfeld; Roger J. Stancliffe; Kylie M. Gray – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2025
Background: Few studies have explored community participation for autistic adults, with or without intellectual disability. This study aims to investigate how autistic adults participate in the community, and the childhood and adulthood factors that predict community participation in adulthood. Method: Eighty-four autistic adults (mean age 34…

Pfordresher, Peter Q.; Demorest, Steven M. – Journal of Research in Music Education, 2021
The purpose of this study was to analyze a large sample of volunteers from the general population who were tested with an identical online measure of singing accuracy. A sample of 632 participants completed the Seattle Singing Accuracy Protocol (SSAP), a standardized measure of singing accuracy, available online, that includes a test of pitch…

Ou, Suh-Ruu; Yoo, Sangok; Reynolds, Arthur J. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Educational attainment is typically examined as a static status. As adult learners have become the new trend in higher education, the changes in educational attainment in adulthood warrant more attention. Using data from the Chicago Longitudinal study (CLS), an ongoing panel investigation of 1,539 children, predictors of educational growth…

Wong, Tin-Yau Terry – Child Development Perspectives, 2021
Mathematical competence in middle childhood predicts socioeconomic status in adulthood. Therefore, it is important to understand the components that constitute mathematical competence from kindergarten to sixth grade. Using an analytical approach, in this article, I identify three components: understanding numbers, understanding mathematical…

Wang, Li; Beaman, C. Philip; Jiang, Cunmei; Liu, Fang – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Prosody or "melody in speech" in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is often perceived as atypical. This study examined perception and production of statements and questions in 84 children, adolescents and adults with and without ASD, as well as participants' pitch direction discrimination thresholds. The results suggested that the abilities…

Havron, Naomi; Arnon, Inbal – Journal of Child Language, 2021
Multiword units play an important role in language learning and use. It was proposed that learning from such units can facilitate mastery of certain grammatical relations, and that children and adults differ in their use of multiword units during learning, contributing to their varying language-learning trajectories. Accordingly, adults learn…

Eric Dearing; Andres S. Bustamante; Henrik Daae Zachrisson; Deborah Lowe Vandell – Educational Researcher, 2024
Scholars theorize that "opportunity gaps" drive achievement disparities between children born into poverty versus affluence. In a 26-year longitudinal study (N = 814), we examine (a) economic disparity in children's accumulation of opportunities--from birth through high school--at home, childcare, school, afterschool, and in the…

Gustavson, Daniel E.; Friedman, Naomi P.; Stallings, Michael C.; Reynolds, Chandra A.; Coon, Hilary; Corley, Robin P.; Hewitt, John K.; Gordon, Reyna L. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Individual differences in music traits are heritable and correlated with the development of cognitive and communication skills, but little is known about whether diverse modes of music engagement (e.g., playing instruments vs. singing) reflect similar underlying genetic/environmental influences. Moreover, the biological etiology underlying the…

Olsen, Darren L. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2018
Social participation is an important resource for parents in old age, and may be particularly important for parents living with adult offspring with intellectual and developmental disabilities. To evaluate whether socializing with friends and family and participating in social organizations protects against depression in old age, this study…

Saunders, Gretchen R. B.; Liu, Mengzhen; Vrieze, Scott; McGue, Matt; Iacono, William G. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Parent-child similarity is a function of genetic and environmental transmission. In addition, genetic effects not transmitted to offspring may drive parental behavior, thereby affecting the rearing environment of the child. Measuring genetic proclivity directly, through polygenic risk scores (PRSs), provides a way to test for the effect of…

Qian, Yiming; Seisler, Andrea R.; Gilmore, Rick O. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Observers experience complex patterns of visual motion in daily life due to their own movements through space, the movement of objects, and the geometry of surfaces in the visible world. Motion information shapes behavior and brain activity beginning in infancy. And yet most prior behavioral research has focused on how children process only one…

Slušná, Dominika; Rodríguez, Andrea; Salvadó, Berta; Vicente, Agustín; Hinzen, Wolfram – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2021
Background & aims: Individuals with non- or minimally verbal autism (nvASD) are primarily characterized by a severe speech production deficit, with speech limited to no or only a few words by school age. Significant unclarity remains over variability in language profiles across the lifespan, the nature of the language impairment seen, and…

Sullivan, Jessica; Wilton, Leigh; Apfelbaum, Evan P. – Child Development, 2022
Anti-racist efforts require talking with children about race. The present work tested the predictors of U.S. adults' (N = 441; 52% female; 32% BIPOC participants; M[subscript age] = 35 years) conversations about race with children across two timepoints in 2019. Approximately 60% of adult participants talked to their children (3-12 years) about…

Xu, Yin; Norton, Sam; Rahman, Qazi – Developmental Psychology, 2021
This study quantified changes in self-reported sexual orientation from adolescence to early adulthood, and whether childhood gender nonconformity (GNC) predicted sexual orientation changes. Youth (2,678 boys and 3,359 girls; 96.09% ethnically White) from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) were included. Self-reported…
