Freire, Melissa R.; Pammer, Kristen – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2022
Standard Australian reading assessment tests are criticized for being culturally inappropriate for use with Australian Indigenous children, particularly for those living in remote and very remote regions, as these tests are culturally biased towards mainstream Australian culture and imperceptive to Indigenous knowledge, language, concepts, and…

Friend, Margaret; Pace, Amy E. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2016
From early in development, segmenting events unfolding in the world in meaningful ways renders input more manageable and facilitates interpretation and prediction. Yet, little is known about how children process action structure in events composed of multiple coarse-grained actions. More importantly, little is known about the time course of action…

Hoyek, Nady; Champely, Stéphane; Collet, Christian; Fargier, Patrick; Guillot, Aymeric – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2014
Previous studies provided evidence of a relationship between mental rotation (MR) and motor processes in children and adults. However, there is no direct evidence that MR ability is a reliable predictor of success for motor performance. After completion of a MR test, the motor performance of 7- to 8-year-old and 11- to 12-year-old children was…

Frick, Andrea; Daum, Moritz M.; Walser, Simone; Mast, Fred W. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2009
Previous studies with adult human participants revealed that motor activities can influence mental rotation of body parts and abstract shapes. In this study, we investigated the influence of a rotational hand movement on mental rotation performance from a developmental perspective. Children at the age of 5, 8, and 11 years and adults performed a…

Saylor, Megan M.; Baldwin, Dare A.; Baird, Jodie A.; LaBounty, Jennifer – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2007
Previous research has clarified that infants from 10-11 months segment dynamic human action into units coinciding with actor's goals and intentions (Baldwin, Baird, Saylor, & Clark, 2001). In this study, we explored the scope and robustness of early action segmentation skills by exposing infants to a variety of relatively novel events in the…

Poulin-Dubois, Diane; Frenkiel-Fishman, Sarah; Nayer, Samantha; Johnson, Susan – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2006
It has been proposed that infants can form global categories such as animate and inanimate objects (Mandler, 2004). The inductive generalization paradigm was used to examine inferences made by infants about the bodily, motion, and sensory capabilities of people and animals. In Experiment 1, 14-month-old infants generalized bodily and sensory…
