Lily Dicken; Thomas Suddendorf; Adam Bulley; Muireann Irish; Jonathan Redshaw – Child Development, 2025
Australian children aged 6-9 years (N = 120, 71 females; data collected in 2021-2022) were tasked with remembering the locations of 1, 3, 5, and 7 targets hidden under 25 cups on different trials. In the critical test phase, children were provided with a limited number of tokens to allocate across trials, which they could use to mark target…

Simona Raimo; Teresa Iona; Antonella Di Vita; Maddalena Boccia; Valentina Torchia; Silvia Canino; Mariachiara Gaita; Maria Cropano; Liana Palermo – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2024
Interoception refers to the processing of internal bodily states and plays a critical role in motivational processes and behaviours. Instruments for assessing its subjective components (i.e., interoceptive sensibility) during childhood are crucially needed. Thus, in this study, we adapted and evaluated the psychometric properties of the…

Gautam, Shalini; Owen Hall, Ruby; Suddendorf, Thomas; Redshaw, Jonathan – Child Development, 2023
When making moral judgments of past actions, adults often think counterfactually about what could have been done differently. Considerable evidence suggests that counterfactual thinking emerges around age 6, but it remains unknown how this development influences children's moral judgments. Across two studies, Australian children aged 4-9 (N = 236,…

Lenka Janik Blaskova; Jenny L. Gibson – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Purpose: Sociometric studies and adult reports have established that children with Language Disorder (LD) are at risk of peer relationship difficulties. However, we have limited knowledge of how children with LD understand friendship, whom they deem as a good or bad friend, and what role their friendship concepts play in their relationships with…

Ban, Midori; Takahashi, Hideyuki – Early Child Development and Care, 2023
This study explored child behaviours that enable mothers to perceive their child's minds. We administered the Mind Perception Questionnaire to 216 women with children aged between 0 and 24 months and 221 working women without children. Participants responded with mind perceptions for various entities, including for their children (a 0--2-year-old…

Merideth Gattis; Quoc Cuong Truong; Carol Cornsweet Barber; Wendy Middlemiss; Oleg N. Medvedev – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2024
Researchers and practitioners need robust measurement tools for evaluating knowledge of child development to better support parents and their children during pregnancy and the transition to parenthood. We addressed this need by evaluating the psychometric properties of the Domains of Development Instrument (DoDI) for measuring knowledge of…

Kayla Halls; Mona Sakr – Journal of Early Childhood Research, 2025
The research presented in this article scrutinises how baby room leaders construct babyhood and how this impacts their practice. Our research feeds into a growing body of research that challenges the dominant developmentalist paradigm in early childhood education and care (ECEC) and instead highlights possibilities for self-determination, agency…

Gizem Eker; Yakup Yildirim – International Journal of Modern Education Studies, 2025
This study focused on the importance of developmental assessment in early childhood and the approaches used by teachers in this process. This study examined how teachers conduct assessment processes based on individual differences and child-centered approaches. This study used a mixed-method design and was conducted with 181 preschool teachers in…

Kurz, Eva-Maria; Zinke, Katharina; Born, Jan – Developmental Psychology, 2023
The architecture of sleep undergoes distinct changes during childhood and early adolescence. Slow wave sleep is involved in memory processing and may support active consolidation of newly encoded representations to support the formation of abstracted "gist" memories. Here, we examined sleep and overnight memory formation in German school…

Köksal, Özgün; Sodian, Beate – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2023
Understanding that hypothesis testing is aimed at seeking information rather than producing desirable outcomes is indispensable for designing informative experiments. This study investigated the developmental course of information seeking compared to producing an effect in young children. In a between-subjects design, 4- to 6-year-olds (N = 109)…

Kopp, Leia; Hamwi, Lojain; Atance, Cristina M. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2021
Our ability to shift from current to alternative (e.g., past and future) perspectives (i.e., "self-projection") plays a fundamental role in accurate decision-making. We investigated 3-, 4-, and 5-year-olds' ability to shift perspective to reason about their future and past preferences. In Experiment 1 (N = 96), children were presented…

Cempron, Daryl Niko L. – Online Submission, 2021
The construct of this inquiry had been drawn from the lensing of developmental progression of children in the College of Human Ecology Nursery Development Center. This work sought at presenting an index showing how children perform the basic tasks expected of them in terms of motor, self-care, and play skills using the development checklist.…

Markku Niemivirta; Anna Tapola; Heta Tuominen; Jaana Viljaranta – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Background: Although research clearly demonstrates the importance of motivation in mathematics learning, relatively little is known about the developmental dynamics between different facets of mathematics motivation and performance, especially in the early years of schooling. Aims: In a longitudinal setting, we examined (1) how children's ability…

Perucchini, Paola; Bello, Arianna; Presaghi, Fabio; Aureli, Tiziana – First Language, 2021
The goal of this intensive longitudinal study was to trace the developmental trajectories of infant pointing production, through consideration of the modality (i.e. pointing alone vs pointing-vocal coupling) and the communicative intention (i.e. imperative vs declarative). Multilevel analysis was used to model the normative trend and the…

Garnett, Madeline; Reese, Elaine; Swearingen, Isabelle; Peterson, Elizabeth; Salmon, Karen; Waldie, Karen; D'Souza, Stephanie; Atatoa-Carr, Polly; Morton, Susan; Bird, Amy – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
The aim of the present study was to explore how maternal reminiscing relates to socioemotional development during middle childhood. Specifically, analyses explored the link between maternal reminiscing and children's internalizing (emotional problems and peer problems), externalizing (hyperactivity and conduct problems) and prosocial behavior…
