Cig, Oguzcan; Jones, Ithel – Education Quarterly Reviews, 2022
This study examined the relationship between young children's cognitive development and fathers' engagement in early childhood. The study examined fathers' home engagement patterns based on literacy, play, and caregiving activities when their children were 9-month-old and these patterns of engagement in 9-month-old were related to children's…

Bordenave, Diane; McCune, Lorraine – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of the grunt vocalizations to cognitive and expressive language status in children with disabilities. Children with typical development produce communicative grunts at the onset of referential word production and comprehension at 14-16 months of age and continue to use this…

Achermann, Sheila; Nyström, Pär; Bölte, Sven; Falck-Ytter, Terje – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Atypical motor development has frequently been reported in infants at elevated likelihood for autism spectrum disorder. However, no previous study has used detailed motion capture technology to compare infant siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder and infant siblings with no familial history of autism spectrum disorder. We investigated…

Arango, P. S.; Aparicio, A.; Tenorio, M. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2018
Background: Several studies show that socio-economic status (SES) is related to the developmental trajectories of children with typical development (TD). However, few studies have analysed this relationship regarding children with neurodevelopmental disorders such as Down syndrome (DS). In this paper, we analyse the impact of SES in the…

Alvares, Gail A.; Bebbington, Keely; Cleary, Dominique; Evans, Kiah; Glasson, Emma J.; Maybery, Murray T.; Pillar, Sarah; Uljarevic, Mirko; Varcin, Kandice; Wray, John; Whitehouse, Andrew J. O. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
'High functioning autism' is a term often used for individuals with autism spectrum disorder without an intellectual disability. Over time, this term has become synonymous with expectations of greater functional skills and better long-term outcomes, despite contradictory clinical observations. This study investigated the relationship between…

Munoz-Chereau, Bernardita; Ang, Lynn; Dockrell, Julie; Outhwaite, Laura; Heffernan, Claire – Journal of Early Childhood Research, 2021
The Sustainable Development Goals mandate that by 2030, all children should have access to quality early child development opportunities, healthcare and pre-primary education. Yet validated measures of ECD in low and middle income countries (LMICs) are rare. To address this gap, a Systematic Review (SR) of measures available to profile the…

Huang, Jin; Peters, Kristen E.; Vaughn, Michael G.; Witko, Christopher – Developmental Science, 2014
The aim of this study was to examine the association of breastfeeding practices with the growth trajectories of children's cognitive development. We used data from the Child Development Supplement (CDS) of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) with variables on presence and duration of breastfeeding and standardized test scores obtained…

Herbst, Chris M. – Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, 2017
This paper assesses the impact of welfare reform's parental work requirements on low-income children's cognitive and social-emotional development. The identification strategy exploits an important feature of the work requirement rules--namely, age-of-youngest-child exemptions--as a source of quasi-experimental variation in first-year maternal…

Garvis, Susanne; Phillipson, Sivanes; Clarke, Sharryn; Harrison, Linda; McCormack, Jane; Pendergast, Donna – Oxford University Press, 2018
"Child Development and Learning" integrates concepts of learning and development into one comprehensive text for understanding child development. At its core is the belief that learning and development are intertwined. As children learn, they also develop. As children develop, they also learn. With an understanding of how children…

Horváth, Klára; Plunkett, Kim – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2016
Background: The facilitating role of sleep for language learning is well-attested in adults and to a lesser extent in infants and toddlers. However, the longitudinal relationship between sleep patterns and early vocabulary development is not well understood. Methods: This study investigates how measures of sleep are related to the development of…

Little, Lauren M.; Wallisch, Anna; Salley, Brenda; Jamison, Rene – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2017
Given that early caregiver concerns may be different for children who go on to receive a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder versus another developmental disability, early caregiver concerns may differ for girls. Using a community-based sample of children (n = 241), we examined the extent to which gender differences may be related to caregiver…

Flynn, Emma G.; Laland, Kevin N.; Kendal, Rachel L.; Kendal, Jeremy R. – Developmental Science, 2013
Niche construction is the modification of components of the environment through an organism's activities. Humans modify their environments mainly through ontogenetic and cultural processes, and it is this reliance on learning, plasticity and culture that lends human niche construction a special potency. In this paper we aim to facilitate…

Fox, Nathan A.; Zeanah, Charles H.; Nelson, Charles A. – ZERO TO THREE, 2014
Neuroscientists have long believed that there are sensitive periods in development during which the effects of experience play a critical role. And developmental psychologists have argued for the importance of early experience in the first years of life as being critical for brain and behavioral development. Most of the neuroscience research…

Marschark, Marc, Ed.; Knoors, Harry, Ed. – Oxford University Press, 2020
In recent years, the intersection of cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, and neuroscience with regard to deaf individuals has received increasing attention from a variety of academic and educational audiences. Both research and pedagogy have addressed questions about whether deaf children learn in the same ways that hearing children…

Duff, Fiona J.; Reen, Gurpreet; Plunkett, Kim; Nation, Kate – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2015
Background: Strong associations between infant vocabulary and school-age language and literacy skills would have important practical and theoretical implications: Preschool assessment of vocabulary skills could be used to identify children at risk of reading and language difficulties, and vocabulary could be viewed as a cognitive foundation for…
