Brown; Isabel Soares; Mirjam Oosterman; R. M. Pasco Fearon; Howard Steele; Carla Martins; Ora Aviezer – Child Development, 2024
An individual participant data meta-analysis was conducted to test pre-registered hypotheses about how the configuration of attachment relationships to mothers and fathers predicts children's language competence. Data from seven studies (published between 1985 and 2014) including 719 children (M[subscript age]: 19.84 months; 51% female; 87% White)…

Valentina Gliozzi – Cognitive Science, 2024
We propose a simple computational model that describes potential mechanisms underlying the organization and development of the lexical-semantic system in 18-month-old infants. We focus on two independent aspects: (i) on potential mechanisms underlying the development of taxonomic and associative priming, and (ii) on potential mechanisms underlying…

Zhou, Xin; Wang, Luchang; Hong, Xuancu; Wong, Patrick C. M. – Developmental Science, 2024
The speech register that adults especially caregivers use when interacting with infants and toddlers, that is, infant-directed speech (IDS) or baby talk, has been reported to facilitate language development throughout the early years. However, the neural mechanisms as well as why IDS results in such a developmental faciliatory effect remain to be…

Mackenzie S. Swirbul; Megan Shahnooshi; Rachel Ho; Catherine S. Tamis-LeMonda – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2024
Infants begin to produce abstract "math" words -- such as numbers (e.g., "two"), spatial terms (e.g., "down"), and magnitude words (e.g., "more") -- during their second postnatal year. Math words, as all words, are likely learned in the home setting during interactions with caregivers. However, everyday…

This study investigated the extent to which sensory responsivity in infancy contributes to adaptive behavior development among toddlers at high-familial likelihood for autism. Prospective, longitudinal data were analyzed for 218 children, 58 of whom received an autism diagnosis. Results indicated that sensory profiles at age one year…

The Slow Emergence of Gaze- and Point-Following: A Longitudinal Study of Infants from 4 to 12 Months
Yueyan Tang; Marybel Robledo Gonzalez; Gedeon O. Deák – Developmental Science, 2024
Acquisition of visual attention-following skills, notably gaze- and point-following, contributes to infants' ability to share attention with caregivers, which in turn contributes to social learning and communication. However, the development of gaze- and point-following in the first 18 months remains controversial, in part because of different…

Federico Ricci; Giovanni Marozza; Enrica Crespi; Chiara Tanzi; Marco Broccoli – Early Years: An International Journal of Research and Development, 2024
This study presents data on the effectiveness of participatory training, called 'Improvement Groups', voluntarily adopted in four nurseries in Northern Italy to prevent episodes of violence by staff toward children. The interventions provided for the representation of problematic cases, experienced by participants, relating to factors of work…

Objective: To evaluate the impact of a campus-based breastfeeding support campaign grounded in the Theory of Reasoned Action. Participants: Seventy-eight students and employees. Methods: An online survey was administered pre- and post-campaign to measure attitudes, subjective norm, normative and behavioral beliefs, intention, knowledge, and…

Fuks, Orit – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2023
The aim of this research was to analyze the use of iconicity during language acquisition of Israeli Sign language and spoken Hebrew. Two bilingual-bimodal infants were observed in a longitudinal study between the ages of 10-26 months. I analyzed infants' production of iconic words, signs, and gestures. The results showed that infants' use of vocal…

Nallet, Caroline; Berent, Iris; Werker, Janet F.; Gervain, Judit – Developmental Science, 2023
Newborns are able to extract and learn repetition-based regularities from the speech input, that is, they show greater brain activation in the bilateral temporal and left inferior frontal regions to trisyllabic pseudowords of the form AAB (e.g., "babamu") than to random ABC sequences (e.g., "bamuge"). Whether this ability is…

Purpose: The aim of the present study is to characterize the maturational changes during the first 6 months of life in the neural encoding of two speech sound features relevant for early language acquisition: the stimulus fundamental frequency (f[subscript o]), related to stimulus pitch, and the vowel formant composition, particularly F[subscript…

Yang, Hsiu-Wen; Campbell, Philippa H.; Lim, Chih-Ing – Young Exceptional Children, 2023
STEM is not just about learning four discrete subject-specific content areas (McClure et al., 2017), but also an approach of higher order thinking (i.e., the ability to think critically, logically, and creatively, and solve problems; Baharin et al., 2018). In this article, the authors use STEM learning to describe children's learning about STEM,…

Luxembourger, Christophe; Fischer, Jean-Paul; Tazouti, Youssef – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2022
A live video was used to study the development of visual self-recognition in a cross-sectional sample of 152 typically developing French children aged between 15 months to 6 years. Three reactions to a mark placed on the child's cheek without their knowledge were studied: the touch of the mark with their hand, the ocular responsiveness to the mark…

Vladescu, Jason C.; Day-Watkins, Jessica; Schnell, Lauren K.; Carrow, Jacqueline N. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Annually, thousands of infant deaths are classified as sudden unexpected infant deaths (SUIDs). In an effort to reduce the risk of SUIDs, the American Academy of Pediatrics has made a number of recommendations to educate caregivers, childcare providers, and healthcare professionals on safe infant sleep practices. The purpose of the current study…

Padmanabha, C. H. – Journal on Educational Psychology, 2020
A newborn arrives in this world with the inherent capacity to learn. This includes simple reflexes such as sucking, Moro reflexes, grasping etc. These "pre-installed" capacities help the baby to survive, particularly in the early months before there has been time to gaining new capabilities through learning. Once an infant starts to…
