Hassinger-Das, Brenna; Schwartz, Rebecca; Tavdgiridze, Mari; Mercedes, Nayrovi; Salerno, Marie; Takoukam, Nowou Cyrielle Talla; Gamzehlatova, Joshua; Zosh, Jennifer M. – American Journal of Play, 2023
The authors examined technological and traditional infant toys to understand the U.S. toy market facing today's care givers. They found significant differences in the two types of toys in terms of their developmental targets--with more traditional toys aimed at physical development and more technological toys aimed at cognitive development. Given…

Roe, Elizabeth; Jensen, Lynn; Finlay-Jones, Amy; White, Scott W.; Wong, Kingsley; Leonard, Helen; Straker, Leon; Downs, Jenny – Australasian Journal of Early Childhood, 2023
Aim: To investigate developmental trajectories in early childhood and predictors of class assignment. Methods: Data were available for Gen2 infants at 12 (n = 2275), 24 (n = 1845) and 36 (n = 2110) months of age in the Raine Study. Latent growth class analysis was used to identify developmental trajectories based on the Ages and Stages…

Moreno-Núñez, Ana; Rodríguez, Cintia; Miranda-Zapata, Edgardo – Journal of Child Language, 2020
Within developmental psychology, pointing gestures have received a great deal of attention, while ostensive gestures have been overlooked in terms of their emergence and intentionality. In a longitudinal and micro-genetic study with six children at 9, 11, and 13 months of age, we codified gesture production of children within second-by-second data…

Bruna Nayara Verdério; Camila Resende Gâmbaro Lima; Mariana Martins dos Santos; Nelci Adriana Cicuto Ferreira Rocha – Early Child Development and Care, 2024
This study compared mother, infant, and dyad interactions between infants with and without biological risk, considering contextual factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Forty-two infants with biological risk and 33 without risk (average age 5.6 months) were evaluated via remote video assessments. Results showed that infants without biological…

Pasco, Greg; Davies, Kim; Ribeiro, Helena; Tucker, Leslie; Allison, Carrie; Baron-Cohen, Simon; Johnson, Mark H.; Charman, Tony – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Parents participating in a prospective longitudinal study of infants with older siblings with autism completed an autism screening questionnaire and were asked about any concerns relating to their child's development, and children were administered an interactive assessment conducted by a researcher at 14 months. Scores on the parent questionnaire…

Thomas, Rhiannon L.; Misra, Reeva; Akkunt, Emine; Ho, Cristy; Spence, Charles; Bremner, Andrew J. – Developmental Science, 2018
An ability to detect the common location of multisensory stimulation is essential for us to perceive a coherent environment, to represent the interface between the body and the external world, and to act on sensory information. Regarding the tactile environment "at hand", we need to represent somatosensory stimuli impinging on the skin…

Abdoola, Shabnam; Swanepoel, De Wet; Van Der Linde, Jeannie; Glascoe, Frances P. – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
Detecting developmental delays is essential for early intervention in low to middle-income countries. A cross-sectional, within-subject, comparative design was employed to determine the performance of the Parents Evaluation of Developmental status (PEDS) tools smartphone application and the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development III (BSID…

Frohn, Scott R.; Acar, Ibrahim H.; Rudasill, Kathleen Moritz; Buhs, Eric S.; Pérez-González, Sam – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
The present study examined teacher sensitivity as a potential moderator of the relationship between children's temperament in infancy and their social development in first grade. Using data from the Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (NICHD SECCYD), we found that first grade teachers who were sensitive and responsive to students'…

Phillips, Sharon T.; Mychailyszyn, Matthew P. – Child & Youth Care Forum, 2023
Background: Parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT) is an evidence-based approach typically used for children aged 2-7 with externalizing disorders. Research suggests that PCIT is effective in treating a broad range of populations and problems. Several adaptations of PCIT have been developed for its use with children younger than the age of 2,…

Jiménez, Eva; Hills, Thomas T. – Child Development, 2022
This study investigates the influence of semantic maturation on early lexical development by examining the impact of contextual diversity--known to influence semantic development--on word promotion from receptive to productive vocabularies (i.e., comprehension-expression gap). Study 1 compares the vocabularies of 3685 American-English-speaking…

Renner, Elizabeth; Somai, Rosyl S.; Van der Stigchel, Stefan; Campbell, Clare; Kean, Donna; Caldwell, Christine A. – Infant and Child Development, 2021
Assessing children's working memory capacity (WMC) can be challenging for a variety of reasons, including the rapid increase in WMC across early childhood. Here, we developed and piloted an adapted WMC task, which involved minimal equipment, could be performed rapidly, and did not rely on verbal production ability (to facilitate the use of the…

Singh, Leher – Child Development Perspectives, 2021
Bilingual environments are more complex than monolingual environments. To adapt to this complexity, bilingual infants may navigate their environment in fundamentally different ways than monolingual infants. Drawing from visual, social, and linguistic processing, in this article, I present evidence to suggest that bilingual and monolingual learners…

Goldman, Elizabeth J.; Wang, Su-hua – Developmental Psychology, 2019
Past research has shown a discrepancy in young infants' use of height information in occlusion and containment events--a pattern typically accounted for by event categorization and rule learning. Broadening these theories, the present experiment examined the role of comparison in young infants' reasoning about physical events. We rotated a typical…

Habayeb, Serene; Tsang, Tawny; Saulnier, Celine; Klaiman, Cheryl; Jones, Warren; Klin, Ami; Edwards, Laura A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Infants show shifting patterns of visual engagement to faces over the first years of life. To explore the adaptive implications of this engagement, we collected eye-tracking measures on cross-sectional samples of 10-25-month-old typically developing toddlers (TD;N = 28) and those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD;N = 54). Concurrent language…

Pérez-Pereira, Miguel; Cruz, Raquel – First Language, 2018
The vocabulary size and composition of one group of full-term and three groups of low risk preterm children with different gestational ages (GA) were longitudinally compared at 10, 22 and 30 months of age. Expressive vocabulary development was assessed through the CDI. Cognitive development was also assessed at 22 months (Batelle Developmental…
