Forest, Tess Allegra; Abolghasem, Zahra; Finn, Amy S.; Schlichting, Margaret L. – Child Development, 2023
Trajectories of cognitive and neural development suggest that, despite early emergence, the ability to extract environmental patterns changes across childhood. Here, 5- to 9-year-olds and adults (N = 211, 110 females, in a large Canadian city) completed a memory test assessing what they remembered after watching a stream of shape triplets: the…

Wei Mao; Laura K. Doan; Victoria Handford – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2024
Although scholars have researched Chinese parents' perspectives on play pedagogy, few investigate the differences between parents of preschoolers and early primary schoolers, non-immigrant and immigrant parents. The present study employs the theoretical framework of parental ethnotheories to describe parental understanding and concerns about the…

Drawing from a population-based Canadian cohort, the study followed 629 refugee children from age 5 to 13 and (i) modeled kindergarten, Grade 4, and Grade 7 academic trajectories via group-based trajectory modeling and…

Julien, Catherine; Bouchard, Caroline; Leblond, Jean; Sylvestre, Audette – First Language, 2021
Language difficulties are frequently characterized by a significantly lower mean length of utterances (MLU) among children experiencing neglect. More opportunities to experience positive interactions, such as in early childhood education (ECE) settings, could help increase these children's MLU. This study aims to examine the relationship between…

Pujadas Botey, Anna; Vinturache, Angela; Bayrampour, Hamideh; Breitkreuz, Rhonda; Bukutu, Cecilia; Gibbard, Ben; Tough, Suzanne – Child Care in Practice, 2017
Parents and non-parental adults who interact with children influence child development. This study evaluates the knowledge of child development in two large and diverse samples of adults from Alberta in 2007 and 2013. Telephone interviews were completed by two random samples (1,443 in 2007; 1,451 in 2013). Participants were asked when specific…

Duchesne, Louise; Trudeau, Natacha; MacLeod, Andrea A. N.; Bergeron, François; Thordardottir, Elin – Journal of Early Intervention, 2020
In children with a hearing loss who receive cochlear implants (CIs) under the age of 2, regular assessments are conducted to monitor auditory and linguistic progress. However, the collection of authentic, representative, and reliable expressive language data on young children with CIs remains a challenge. The purpose of the study was to determine…

Pence, Alan – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2021
The Investigating Quality (IQ) Project was conceptualized as a multiple systems approach to transforming early childhood education, care, and development (ECE/ECD) in British Columbia, Canada. Those systems extended from provincial government to local programs, from innovative policies to new approaches to practice. Fortunately, the tenure of the…

Weiss, Jonathan A.; Burnham Riosa, Priscilla – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2015
Most research on mental health in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disability (ID) has focused on deficits. We examined individual (i.e., sociocommunicative skills, adaptive behavior, functional cognitive skills) and contextual (i.e., home, school, and community participation) correlates of thriving in 330 youth…

Liu, David; Wellman, Henry M.; Tardif, Twila; Sabbagh, Mark A. – Developmental Psychology, 2008
Theory of mind is claimed to develop universally among humans across cultures with vastly different folk psychologies. However, in the attempt to test and confirm a claim of universality, individual studies have been limited by small sample sizes, sample specificities, and an overwhelming focus on Anglo-European children. The current meta-analysis…

Peters, Ray DeV.; Bradshaw, Alison J.; Petrunka, Kelly; Nelson, Geoffrey; Herry, Yves; Craig, Wendy M.; Arnold, Robert; Parker, Kevin C. H.; Khan, Shahriar R.; Hoch, Jeffrey S.; Pancer, S. Mark; Loomis, Colleen; Belanger, Jean-Marc; Evers, Susan; Maltais, Claire; Thompson, Katherine; Rossiter, Melissa D. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2010
Although comprehensive and ecological approaches to early childhood prevention are commonly advocated, there are few examples of long-term follow-up of such programs. In this monograph, we investigate the medium- and long-term effects of an ecological, community-based prevention project for primary school children and families living in three…

Perry, Adrienne; Cummings, Anne; Geier, Jennifer Dunn; Freeman, Nancy L.; Hughes, Susan; LaRose, Louise; Managhan, Tom; Reitzel, Jo-Ann; Williams, Janis – Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2008
Although the "efficacy" of Intensive Behavioral Intervention (IBI) for young children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) has been well documented in small model programs, IBI's "effectiveness" (i.e., does it work in the "real world"?) has been less studied and may not be as impressive, e.g. Bibby, Eikeseth, Martin,…

Venet, Michele; Bureau, Jean-Francois; Gosselin, Catherine; Capuano, France – School Psychology International, 2007
A number of studies (see Ethier, 1999) have shown that neglect has a deleterious impact on children's development. However, the effect of neglect on a child's internal representations of their family still needs to be investigated. The aim of this study was to examine the attachment patterns observed in a subsample of neglected children as…

Examined psychometric properties of Assessment and Action Record (AAR) and compared outcomes of children cared for by a Canadian child-welfare agency and from a comparison group from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth. Found variable reliability and validity for individual AAR items. Children in care had worse outcomes than…

Romany, S.; Adams-Webber, J. – Social Behavior and Personality, 1981
Studied the social judgments of children aged 10-15 in Trinidad and in Canada. Ten-year-olds assigned significantly more persons to the positive poles of dimensions. Mid-adolescents applied positive poles of dimensions to persons approximately 62 percent of the time. Discussed findings in terms of developmental implications. (Author/RC)

Hundert, Joel; Mahoney, Bill; Mundy, Faith; Vernon, Mary Lou – Early Childhood Research Quarterly, 1998
Analyzed one-year gains of children with severe disabilities, children with mild/moderate disabilities, and typically-developing children, in segregated or integrated preschools. Found that segregated programs had smaller adult/child ratios and shorter operating hours than integrated programs. Children with severe disabilities in segregated…
