Recent research has highlighted the critical role in children's cognitive development of the metacognitive support parents give their children during everyday interactions. Our main goal was to examine whether parents made consistent use of metacognitive talk across different parent - child interaction contexts and to document the effect of this…

Yang, Yingying; Li, Weijia; Wang, Qi – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2022
Relatively few studies have directly examined children's memory of object-based spatial structure of room-sized environments. The current study investigated how children remember the spatial structure of a room, and the role of pictorial working memory (WM) and different testing perspectives in this process. In Experiment 1, 80 children aged 5 to…

Branyan, Helen; Cooper, Elisheva; Shaki, Samuel; McCrink, Koleen – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
During the preschool years, children are simultaneously undergoing a reshaping of their mental number line and becoming increasingly sensitive to the social norms expressed by those around them. In the current study, 4- and 5-year-old American and Israeli children were given a task in which an experimenter laid out chips with numbers (1-5),…

Lam, Kristy; Barry, Tom J.; Hallford, David J.; Jimeno, Maria V.; Solano Pinto, Natalia; Ricarte, Jorge J. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2022
Previous research with adults has shown mixed findings regarding the correlation between specificity and detailedness within autobiographical memories, and their associations with depressive symptoms. However, minimal research has tested these links in adolescents, despite the importance of this developmental period. The present investigation…

Wu, Yun; He, Zijing; Jobson, Laura – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2022
This study aimed to explore the possible indirect pathway between maternal reminiscing style and child socioemotional functioning (prosocial behaviors and emotional adjustment difficulties) through children's autobiographical memory (elaboration and specificity). A secondary exploratory aim was to examine whether cultural context moderated these…

Ibbotson, Paul; Roque-Gutierrez, Ernesto – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
Small but robust differences in cognition exist between the sexes in adult populations. Studying sex differences in children's cognition can bring insight into when, where and how these differences might emerge in development. Here, we focus on differences in working memory because of its importance in underpinning a wide range of complex…

David Muñez; Josetxu Orrantia; Rosario Sanchez; Verónica Carreton; Laura Matilla – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2024
This study investigates how the approximate number system (ANS) and young children's symbolic skills jointly develop and interact. Specifically, the study aims at disentangling the directionality of the association between ANS acuity and a wide range of symbolic skills that reflect 4- to 5-year-olds' symbolic quantitative knowledge (enumeration…

Traverso, Laura; Tonizzi, Irene; Usai, M. Carmen; Viterbori, Paola – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
Children's arithmetic performance is dependent on the arithmetic task format, but little is known about how domain-specific and domain-general abilities contribute to solving diverse arithmetic problems. In this study, 145 Italian typically developing children between the ages of five and six, who have not yet received formal schooling, were…

A recent Registered Replication Report (RRR) of the development of verbal rehearsal during serial recall revealed that children verbalized at younger ages than previously thought, but did not identify sources of individual differences. Here, we use mediation analysis to reanalyze data from the 934 children ranging from 5 to 10 years old from the…

Rochanavibhata, Sirada; Marian, Viorica – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
The present study examined how culture and gender influence the self-construal of mothers and their four-year-olds during dyadic reminiscing. Participants were 21 Thai (11 girls, 10 boys) and 21 American (10 girls, 11 boys) mother-child dyads. Thai dyads exhibited a more interdependent self-construal, whereas American dyads exhibited a more…

Leyva, Diana; Reese, Elaine; Laible, Deborah; Schaughency, Elizabeth; Das, Shika; Clifford, Amanda – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2020
Parents' elaboration plays an important role in autobiographical memory and socioemotional development. Two types of coding approaches have been used to assess parents' elaboration: a frequency-based coding (absolute frequencies of different types of elaborative utterances) and a scale-based coding (a 5-point scale based on relative frequencies of…

Cottini, Milvia; Basso, Demis; Pieri, Alessandro; Palladino, Paola – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2021
This study investigated developmental differences in metacognitive monitoring and control in younger (5- to 6-year-old) and older (8- to 10-year-old) children's prospective memory (PM). Metacognitive monitoring was assessed by asking the children to judge their performance before (prediction) and after (postdiction) performing a resource-demanding…

Mazachowsky, Tessa R.; Atance, Cristina M.; Rutt, Joshua L.; Mahy, Caitlin E. V. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
The ability to project oneself forward in time and imagine a future episode, known as episodic foresight (EpF), is an important aspect of future thinking. EpF tasks often involve children choosing an item for a future episode, yet the degree to which future projection is required to succeed -- versus memory or semantic associations -- has been…

Investigating the Associations between Family Alliance and Executive Functioning in Middle Childhood
Hébert, Élizabeth; Regueiro, Sophie; Bernier, Annie – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2021
There is now wide consensus that the quality of family relationships is involved in the development of child executive functioning (EF), a set of cognitive skills that bear critical importance for social and academic adjustment at school. This body of research has, however, focused almost exclusively on dyadic parent-child interactions and failed…

Sun, Sumin; Schweizer, Karl; Ren, Xuezhu – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2019
This study examined whether there is a developmental difference in the emergence of an item-position effect in intelligence testing. The item-position effect describes the dependency of the item's characteristics on the positions of the items and is explained by learning. Data on fluid intelligence measured by Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices…
