Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Helmsen, Johanna; Koglin, Ute; Petermann, Franz – Child Psychiatry and Human Development, 2012
This study examined whether the relation between maladaptive emotion regulation and aggression was mediated by deviant social information processing (SIP). Participants were 193 preschool children. Emotion regulation and aggression were rated by teachers. Deviant SIP (i.e., attribution of hostile intent, aggressive response generation, aggressive…

A Computational Account of Children's Analogical Reasoning: Balancing Inhibitory Control in Working Memory and Relational Representation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Morrison, Robert G.; Doumas, Leonidas A. A.; Richland, Lindsey E. – Developmental Science, 2011
Theories accounting for the development of analogical reasoning tend to emphasize either the centrality of relational knowledge accretion or changes in information processing capability. Simulations in LISA (Hummel & Holyoak, 1997, 2003), a neurally inspired computer model of analogical reasoning, allow us to explore how these factors may…

Schultz, David; Ambike, Archana; Logie, Sean Kevin; Bohner, Katherine E.; Stapleton, Laura M.; VanderWalde, Holly; Min, Christopher B.; Betkowski, Jennifer A. – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2010
Crick and Dodge's (Psychological Bulletin 115:74-101, 1994) social information processing model has proven very useful in guiding research focused on aggressive and peer-rejected children's social-cognitive functioning. Its application to early childhood, however, has been much more limited. The present study responds to this gap by developing and…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Williams, Sarah E.; Turley, Christopher; Nettelbeck, Ted; Burns, Nicholas R. – British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2009
Inspection time (IT) measures speed of information processing without the confounding influence of motor speed. While IT has been found to relate to cognitive abilities in adults and older children, no measure of IT has been validated for use with children younger than 6 years. This study examined the validity of a new measure of IT for preschool…

The Role of Social-Cognitive Abilities in Preschoolers' Aggressive Behaviour
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Werner, Rebecca Stetson; Cassidy, Kimberly Wright; Juliano, Mariel – British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2006
This study investigated the relationship between preschool children's social-cognitive abilities (theory of mind and social information processing; SIP) and their observed physical and relational aggressive behaviour. Children with more advanced social-cognitive abilities engaged in fewer acts of physical aggression; however, much of the ability…
