Bernier, Annie; Carlson, Stephanie M.; Bordeleau, Stephanie; Carrier, Julie – Child Development, 2010
The aim of this report was to investigate the prospective links between infant sleep regulation and subsequent executive functioning (EF).

Sabbagh, Mark A.; Seamans, Elizabeth L. – Developmental Science, 2008
We examined whether individual differences in children's performance on a scaled battery of theory-of-mind tasks was predicted by parents' performance on an adult theory-of-mind task. Forty-six 3-year-old children and their parents participated in this study when children were aged 2;11 to 4;0. Thirty dyads returned 6 months later for a second…
