Amanda Mankovich; Sadie MacDonald; Brianna Kinnie; Sara C. Johnson; Sumarga H. Suanda – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2025
Picture book reading is widely regarded as an activity that promotes multiple aspects of children's language acquisition, including their vocabulary development. Historically, researchers interested in what underlies the link between picture book reading and vocabulary development have investigated a suite of caregiver behaviors during picture…

Geffen, Susan; Curtin, Suzanne; Graham, Susan A. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
By 12 months, English-learning infants have an awareness of the sound patterns of word forms that constitute acceptable labels for objects in their native language. In the following experiments, we replicated and extended previous findings that Canadian English-learning infants will not link function-like words with novel objects. Across three…

Eylül Turan; Bert De Smedt – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2024
A growing body of research suggests that children's understanding of mathematical language is critical for their mathematical abilities. Most of this work has been restricted to single language learners (i.e., SLLs), and used dual language learners (i.e., DLLs) as an exclusion criterion, raising questions about the generalizability of these…

Wilson, Kyra; Frank, Michael C.; Fourtassi, Abdellah – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
In order for children to understand and reason about the world in an adult-like fashion, they need to learn that conceptual categories are organized in a hierarchical fashion (e.g., a dog is also an animal). While children learn from their first-hand observation of the world, social knowledge transmission via language can also play an important…

Verhagen, Josje; de Bree, Elise; Unsworth, Sharon – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2020
Although a bilingual advantage has been reported for various measures of cognitive control, most previous studies have looked at a limited range of cognitive control measures. Furthermore, they typically leave unaddressed whether positive effects of bilingualism hold for all bilinguals or whether these are modulated by differences in bilingual…

Paulus, Markus; Fikkert, Paula – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2014
Language acquisition is a process embedded in social routines. Despite considerable attention in research to its social nature, little is known about developmental differences in the relative priority of certain social cues over others during early word learning. Employing an eye-tracking paradigm, we presented 14-month-old infants, 24-month-old…

Chiarella, Sabrina S.; Kristen, Susanne; Poulin-Dubois, Diane; Sodian, Beate – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2013
Recent studies suggest that there appears to be a similar developmental sequence in the understanding of mental states in both internal-state language and in standard theory-of-mind tasks. These findings suggest possible developmental relations between children's ability to talk and think about the mind. Two experiments investigated the concurrent…
