Yuhan Jiang; Ting Wang – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: This study focuses on examining how individual differences, including biological, linguistic, and cognitive traits, and prosodic focus affect the computation biases and reaction time (RT) associated with quantity scalar terms in Mandarin-speaking children aged 3-8 years. Method: The participants of this study were 27 Mandarin-speaking…

Özlem Sensoy; Anna Krasotkina; Antonia Götz; Barbara Höhle; Gudrun Schwarzer – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2024
The current study examined to what extent face and speech processing interact with each other and whether they enhance or impair the processing of the other in 5-year-olds (n = 51) and adults (n = 34). Using a computer-based speeded sorting task allowed to directly test the influence of auditory speech on face processing and the influence of face…

Iao, Lai-Sang; Roeser, Jens; Justice, Lucy; Jones, Gary – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Concurrent learning of adjacent and nonadjacent dependencies has been shown in adults only. This study extended this line of research by examining dependency-specific learning for both adjacent and nonadjacent dependencies concurrently in both adults and children. Seventy adults aged 18 to 64 (40 women, 30 men; Experiment 1) and 64 children aged…

Shamon, Hawal; Dülmer, Hermann; Giza, Adam – Sociological Methods & Research, 2022
The factorial survey is an experimental design in which the researcher constructs varying descriptions of situations or individual persons (vignettes), which will be judged by respondents with regard to a particular aspect. Some researchers present vignettes in text format as short stories, others present the central information of vignettes in a…

Loh, Karin; Fintor, Edina; Nolden, Sophie; Fels, Janina – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Children's development and education take place in educational buildings with highly complex acoustic scenes, including spatially distributed target speakers, many surrounding distracting sounds, and general background noises. Auditory selective attention, therefore, is a valuable tool to orient oneself, to focus on specific sound sources, and to…

M. M. Elsherif; J. C. Catling – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2024
Purpose: Adults recognize words that are acquired during childhood more quickly than words acquired during adulthood. This is known as the Age of Acquisition (AoA) effect. The AoA effect, according to the integrated account, manifests in tasks necessitating greater semantic processing and in tasks with arbitrary input-output mapping. Compound…

Mehdi Mehranirad; Nahid Basafa; Reza Zabihi – Early Child Development and Care, 2024
The present study aimed to examine the effect of activity engagement, age, language proficiency, and time elapse on children's response accuracy to adult's questions. A total of 70, 3- to 6-year-old children participated in the study, engaging in a story-telling activity, a proficiency test, and two interviews. Additionally, 57 of these children…

Mei Ma; Maxim Likhanov; Xinlin Zhou – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Background: Recent research suggested fluent processing as an explanation on why number sense contributes to simple arithmetic tasks--'Fluency hypothesis'. Aims: The current study investigates whether number sense contributes to such arithmetic tasks when other cognitive factors are controlled for (including those that mediate the link); and…

Rattat, Anne-Claire; Chevalier, Nicolas – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2020
The present study investigated the role of executive functions in the development of two aspects of timing: temporal reproduction and comparison. Children aged 7 and 10 years and young adults were asked to either reproduce target durations (i.e., reproduction task) or judge the similarity of two target durations (i.e., comparison task). These…

Düval, Sabine; Hinz, Thomas – Field Methods, 2020
Factorial surveys are widely used in the social sciences to measure respondents' attitudes, beliefs, or behavioral intentions. In such surveys, respondents evaluate short descriptions of hypothetical situations, persons, or objects that vary across several dimensions. An important prerequisite of the method's validity is that respondents are able…

Zupan, Zorana; Blagrove, Elisabeth L.; Watson, Derrick G. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
By approximately 6 years of age, children can use time-based visual selection to ignore stationary stimuli, already in the visual field and prioritize the selection of newly arriving stimuli. This ability can be studied using preview search, a version of the visual search paradigm with an added temporal component, in which one set of distractors…

Keles, Onur; Atmaca, Furkan; Gökgöz, Kadir – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2022
Using a free-recall paradigm, we explored the effects of age of acquisition and category size on verbal fluency in Turkish Sign Language (Türk Isaret Dili [TID]). We studied the semantic and phonological fluency task performances of deaf native and deaf late adult signers. We measured the number of correct responses and performed a time course…

Anstey, Kaarin J.; Ehrenfeld, Lauren; Mortby, Moyra E.; Cherbuin, Nicolas; Peters, Ruth; Kiely, Kim M.; Eramudugolla, Ranmalee; Huque, Md Hamidul – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Understanding gender differences in human cognitive development may contribute to understanding the gender differences in outcomes in cognitive ageing. However, evaluation of this topic has been hindered by a lack of representative, longitudinal data from different aged cohorts measured on the same cognitive tests. Gender differences in cognitive…

Schulz, Daniel; Richter, Tobias; Schindler, Julia; Lenhard, Wolfgang; Mangold, Madlen – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
Inhibitory control is a core executive function that develops during childhood and is measured with tasks that require the inhibition of a dominant response. The current study examined the diagnostic value of using response accuracy and latency in a simple inhibitory control test, the computerized Pointing-Stroop Task (cPST), for kindergarten…

Ambrosi, Solène; Smigasiewicz, Kamila; Burle, Boris; Blaye, Agnès – Developmental Psychology, 2020
Interference control is central to cognitive control and, more generally, to many aspects of development. Despite its importance, the understanding of the processes underlying mean interference effects across development is still limited. When measured through conflict tasks, mean interference effects reflect both the strength of the initial…
