Lydia Paulin Schidelko; Hannes Rakoczy – Cognitive Science, 2025
The standard view on Theory of Mind (ToM) is that the mastery of the false belief (FB) task around age 4 marks the ontogenetic emergence of full-fledged meta-representational ToM. Recently, a puzzling finding has emerged: Once children master the FB task, they begin to fail true belief (TB) control tasks. This finding threatens the validity of FB…

Melike Acar; Ozce Sivis; Vincent H. Sienkiewicz – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2024
This study examined children's emotion attributions and moral judgements to hypothetical procedural justice outcomes when the candidates were equal in merit but different in need. Children (7 to 11 years old, N = 88) were presented with four vignettes depicting resource-rich and resource-poor candidates losing educational materials and…

Sinai-Gavrilov, Yana; Gev, Tali; Mor-Snir, Irit; Vivanti, Giacomo; Golan, Ofer – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Early intensive intervention has been shown to significantly affect the development of children with autism spectrum disorder. However, the costly implementation of such interventions limits their wide dissemination in the community. This study examined an integration of the Early Start Denver Model into community preschool programs for children…

Emiddia Longobardi; Mara Morelli; Matilde Brunetti; Stefania Sette; Pietro Spataro; Fiorenzo Laghi – Infant Mental Health Journal: Infancy and Early Childhood, 2025
Social understanding competence develops in sensitive and co-regulating caregiver interactions. Parental reflective functioning (PRF) and parenting stress can affect children's social understanding. This study investigated if children's social understanding was associated with PRF and parenting stress. Parents of 305 Italian children aged from 24…

Kolak, Amy M.; Dean, Caitlin H. – Early Child Development and Care, 2023
This multi-method study examined mothers' and fathers' cognitive stimulation during parent--child interactions and toddlers' moral regulation (assessed via parent reports) as predictors of their executive functioning skills approximately 2½ years later. Forty children (23 girls and 17 boys) and their parents participated in both timepoints.…

Milburn, Trelani F.; Lonigan, Christopher J.; Phillips, Beth M. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2019
The current study investigated the stability of children's risk status across the preschool year. A total of 1,102 preschool children attending Title 1 schools (n = 631) and non-Title 1 schools (n = 471) participated in this study. Using averaged standard scores for two measures of language, print knowledge, and phonological awareness administered…

Pei-Jung Wang; Hua-Fang Liao; Li-Chiou Chen; Lin-Ju Kang; Lu Lu; Karen Caplovitz Barrett – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2024
Motivation is a key factor for child development, but very few studies have examined child and family predictors of both child task and perceived motivation. Thus, the three aims of this 6-month longitudinal study in preschoolers with global developmental delays (GDD) were to explore: 1) differences between task and perceived motivation in…

Rodrigues, Michelle; Sokolovic, Nina; Madigan, Sheri; Luo, Yiqi; Silva, Victoria; Misra, Shruti; Jenkins, Jennifer – Child Development, 2021
In a series of meta-analyses, paternal sensitivity was associated with children's (age range: 7 months-9 years) overall cognitive functioning (N = 3,193; k = 23; r = 0.19), including language skills (k = 9; r = 0.21), cognitive ability (k = 9; r = 0.18), and executive function (k = 8; r = 0.19). Paternal sensitivity was not associated with…

Huang, Runke; Geng, Zuofei; Siraj, Iram – Early Education and Development, 2023
Research Findings: Self-regulation is an important determinant of children's developmental outcomes, but little research has explored its different facets simultaneously. This study aims to explore a sample of Chinese children's behavioral, cognitive and emotional self-regulation characteristics by examining their gender and age differences,…

Tang, Yulong; Harris, Paul L.; Pons, Francisco; Zou, Hong; Zhang, Wenjuan; Xu, Qunxia – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2018
The development of emotion understanding in young Chinese preschoolers was examined. The overall developmental trend, as measured by the Test of Emotion Comprehension (TEC), proved similar to that found among preschoolers in Western Europe. However, Chinese children performed better at understanding the distinction between real and apparent…

Chiu, Mei-Shiu – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2023
This study proposes a family psychobiosocial model on gender differences in cognitive development. Specifically, the aim is to investigate how family biological, socioeconomic, and psychological factors predict child mathematics achievement (MAch) development. The data were obtained from the Millennium Cohort Study. Children's pattern construction…

Griffiths, Sarah; Kievit, Rogier A.; Norbury, Courtenay – Developmental Science, 2022
Mutualism is a developmental theory that posits positive reciprocal relationships between distinct cognitive abilities during development. It predicts that abilities such as language and reasoning will influence each other's rates of growth. This may explain why children with Language Disorders also tend to have lower than average non-verbal…

Rittle-Johnson, Bethany; Zippert, Erica L.; Boice, Katherine L. – Grantee Submission, 2018
Because math knowledge begins to develop at a young age to varying degrees, it is important to identify foundational cognitive and academic skills that might contribute to its development. The current study focused on two important, but often overlooked skills that recent evidence suggests are important contributors to early math development:…

Alvares, Gail A.; Bebbington, Keely; Cleary, Dominique; Evans, Kiah; Glasson, Emma J.; Maybery, Murray T.; Pillar, Sarah; Uljarevic, Mirko; Varcin, Kandice; Wray, John; Whitehouse, Andrew J. O. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
'High functioning autism' is a term often used for individuals with autism spectrum disorder without an intellectual disability. Over time, this term has become synonymous with expectations of greater functional skills and better long-term outcomes, despite contradictory clinical observations. This study investigated the relationship between…

Lang Chen; Hyesang Chang; Jeremy Rudoler; Eydis Arnardottir; Yuan Zhang; Carlo de los Angeles; Vinod Menon – npj Science of Learning, 2022
Growth mindset, the belief that one's abilities can improve through cognitive effort, is an important psychological construct with broad implications for enabling children to reach their highest potential. However, surprisingly little is known about malleability of growth mindset in response to cognitive interventions in children and its…
