Sarah Leckey; Shefali Bhagath; Elliott G. Johnson; Simona Ghetti – Child Development, 2024
Memory decision-making in 26- to 32-month-olds was investigated using visual-paired comparison paradigms, requiring toddlers to select familiar stimuli (Active condition) or view familiar and novel stimuli (Passive condition). In Experiment 1 (N = 108, 54.6% female, 62% White; replication N = 98), toddlers with higher accuracy in the Active…

Natalie Bleijlevens; Tanya Behne – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Upon hearing a novel label, listeners tend to assume that it refers to a novel, rather than a familiar object. While this disambiguation or mutual exclusivity (ME) effect has been robustly shown across development, it is unclear what it involves. Do listeners use their pragmatic and lexical knowledge to exclude the familiar object and thus select…

Manrique, Héctor M.; Hernández-Gálvez, Yurena; Hernández-Cabrera, Juan; Álvarez, Carlos J. – Journal for the Study of Education and Development, 2022
Fifty-one 23-to-55-month-old-infants faced two apparatuses that required the use of a rigid (box apparatus) or flexible (hose apparatus) stick-like tool to retrieve a toy stuck inside. Before attempting the extraction, however, they had to pick the only one tool (of three) on display that had the appropriate rigidity/flexibility to be effective.…

Arnold, Amanda J.; Claxton, Laura J. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Learning to walk leads to an increase in language abilities; however, the underlying mechanisms accounting for this relation remain unclear. Investigating the quality of early gait control may offer some insights. The purpose of this study was to: (1) quantify how 13-month-olds (n = 39; 39% male) and 24-month-olds (n = 39; 59% male) adapt gait…

Auditory Lexical Decisions in Developmental Language Disorder: A Meta-Analysis of Behavioral Studies
Jones, Samuel David; Brandt, Silke – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: Despite the apparent primacy of syntactic deficits, children with developmental language disorder (DLD) often also evidence lexical impairments. In particular, it has been argued that this population have difficulty forming lexical representations that are detailed enough to support effective spoken word processing. In order to better…

Danovitch, Judith H.; Alzahabi, Reem – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2013
Although children are often exposed to technological devices early in life, little is known about how they evaluate these novel sources of information. In two experiments, children aged 3, 4, and 5 years old ("n" = 92) were presented with accurate and inaccurate computer informants, and they subsequently relied on information provided by…

Rush, Karena S.; Mortenson, Bruce P.; Birch, Sarah E. – International Journal of Behavioral Consultation and Therapy, 2010
The current practice of preference assessment offers a variety of approaches to determine an individual's preference for specific items. However, the majority of the research has been completed on school-age children or individuals with significant cognitive or behavioral deficits. Further, studies on preference assessments have not adequately…
