Patrick W. C. Lau; Huiqi Song; Di Song; Jing-Jing Wang; Shanshan Zhen; Lei Shi; Rongjun Yu – Child Development, 2024
This cross-sectional study explored the relationship between 24-hour movement behaviors and executive function (EF) in preschool children. A total of 426 Han Chinese preschoolers (231 males; 3.8 ± 0.6 years old) from Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, China were selected from October 2021 to December 2021. Accelerometers were used to measure physical…

Gundogdu, Ummugulsum; Aksoy, Ahmet; Eroglu, Mehtap – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2023
Objective: This study examined the relationship between sensory processing (SP) differences and behavioral problems in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We also investigated whether audiological test results could objectively detect auditory processing differences. Method: Forty-six children with ASD, ages 3-9 years, were enrolled in…

Zhao, Gai; Zhang, Haibo; Hu, Mingming; Wang, Daoyang; Wang, Yanpei; Pan, Zhiying; Wang, Yao; Tao, Sha – Developmental Psychology, 2023
This study examined the longitudinal associations of various executive function components with subsequent psychiatric problems in Chinese school-age children. Data from 1,639 children (44.36% girls) ages 6-13 years were drawn from the Children School Functions and Brain Development project. Executive function components were assessed by the…

Mental health problems are prevalent in autistic youth, but the underpinning mechanisms are not well explored. In neurotypical youth, stressful life events are an established risk factor for mental health problems. This study tested longitudinal bidirectional associations between family-level stressful life events and mental health problems and…

Buttelmann, David; Kühn, Karen; Zmyj, Norbert – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2022
Identifying correlates of aggressive behavior in children might help to find potential candidates for interventions in aggression reduction. While some previous studies found that children's Theory of Mind (ToM) and inhibitory control (IC) correlate with aggressive behavior, others did not confirm this relation. One explanation for these mixed…

Li, Zhi; Sturge-Apple, Melissa L.; Davies, Patrick T. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Informed by the biological sensitivity to the context (BSC) theory, this multimethod, longitudinal study sought to examine how family context may be associated with the development of child sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) over a year. Participants were 235 young children (M[subscript age] = 2.97 at the first measurement occasion, 55.3% were…

Baker, Erin Ruth; Liu, Qingyang – Early Education and Development, 2021
Research Findings: Children's capacities for complex socio-moral reasoning carries across domains; similarly, children's aggressive behaviors changes as a function of context. However, with a few exceptions, little research has considered children's socio-moral reasoning and aggressive subtypes in concert. The goals of the current study were to…

Young Children's Self-Benefiting Lies and Their Relation to Executive Functioning and Theory of Mind
Fu, Genyue; Sai, Liyang; Yuan, Fang; Lee, Kang – Infant and Child Development, 2018
It is well established that children lie in different social contexts for various purposes from the age of 2 years. Surprisingly, little is known about whether very young children will spontaneously lie for personal gain, how self-benefiting lies emerge, and what cognitive factors affect the emergence of self-benefiting lies. To bridge this gap in…

Talwar, Victoria; Yachison, Sarah; Leduc, Karissa; Nagar, Pooja Megha – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2018
Children (n = 202; 4 to 7 years old) witnessed a confederate break a toy and were asked to keep the transgression a secret. Children were randomly assigned to a Coaching condition (i.e., No Coaching, Light Coaching, or Heavy Coaching) and a Moral Story condition (i.e., Positive or Neutral). Overall, 89.7% of children lied about the broken toy when…

Meghan E. Clifford; Amanda J. Nguyen; Catherine P. Bradshaw – Grantee Submission, 2021
Social-emotional factors associated with youth aggression have largely been studied in the context of social information-processing models. The ability to accurately encode and appropriately interpret others' emotions has yet to be fully examined in the context of aggressive behavior, particularly during adolescence. Using cross-sectional data…

Brewe, Alexis M.; Simmons, Grace Lee; Capriola-Hall, Nicole N.; White, Susan W. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Adults with autism spectrum disorder often experience co-occurring mental health problems such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity-disorder, as well as impairments in executive function. Sluggish cognitive tempo, a cluster of behaviors including slow processing, daydreaming, and mental fogginess, has been shown to be associated with…

Melzer, Dawn K.; Palermo, Cori A. – Infant and Child Development, 2016
The present study investigated the relationship between complexity of pretend play, initiation of pretense activities, and mental state utterances used during play. Children 3 to 4 years of age were videotaped while engaging in pretend play with a parent. The videotapes were coded according to mental state utterances (i.e. desire, emotion,…

Davies, Patrick T.; Coe, Jesse L.; Hentges, Rochelle F.; Sturge-Apple, Melissa L.; Ripple, Michael T. – Developmental Psychology, 2018
This study examined children's attention biases to negative emotional stimuli as mediators of associations between interparental hostility and children's externalizing symptoms. Participants included 243 children (M[subscript age] = 4.60 years) and their parents and teachers across three annual measurement occasions. Cross-lagged latent change…

Archambault, Isabelle; Dupéré, Véronique – Journal of Educational Research, 2017
The aim of the present study was to model student trajectories of behavioral, affective, and cognitive engagement from Grade 3 to Grade 6. The authors also examined whether teachers perceptions could predict student trajectory membership. The authors collected data from a sample of 831 students and 152 teachers. Using multiple-process growth…

van Hulst, Branko M.; de Zeeuw, Patrick; Bos, Dienke J.; Rijks, Yvonne; Neggers, Sebastiaan F. W.; Durston, Sarah – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2017
Background: Changes in reward processing are thought to be involved in the etiology of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), as well as other developmental disorders. In addition, different forms of therapy for ADHD rely on reinforcement principles. As such, improved understanding of reward processing in ADHD could eventually lead to…
