Models of Oculomotor Variability in Infancy.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Aslin, Richard N. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1997
Examines the meaning of reaction time (RT) and the possibility that it may predict other cognitive and motor skills in the first year of life. Considers two competing models that specify the information-processing components underlying RT performance. Describes the neural data needed to definitively choose between the models and considers…

Atypical Patterns of Early Attachment: Theory, Research, and Current Directions.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Barnett, Douglas; Vondra, Joan I. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1999
Reviews conceptual background on atypical patterns of early attachments, including basic theoretical terms and constructs of attachment theory; the nature and function of the original classification system; notions of "exceptional cases" or "atypical patterns"; and implications of atypicality for both a classification system of attachment behavior…

Peters, Ray DeV.; Bradshaw, Alison J.; Petrunka, Kelly; Nelson, Geoffrey; Herry, Yves; Craig, Wendy M.; Arnold, Robert; Parker, Kevin C. H.; Khan, Shahriar R.; Hoch, Jeffrey S.; Pancer, S. Mark; Loomis, Colleen; Belanger, Jean-Marc; Evers, Susan; Maltais, Claire; Thompson, Katherine; Rossiter, Melissa D. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2010
Although comprehensive and ecological approaches to early childhood prevention are commonly advocated, there are few examples of long-term follow-up of such programs. In this monograph, we investigate the medium- and long-term effects of an ecological, community-based prevention project for primary school children and families living in three…

Danger and Development: The Organization of Self-Protective Strategies.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Crittenden, Patricia McKinsey – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1999
Considers alternative ways of conceptualizing patterns of attachment, arguing that danger prompts organization of protective strategies in children. Discusses issues of what is normal versus atypical; complex organization versus disorganization; neurological disorders and temperament; assessment of patterns of attachment and analysis of attachment…

Imitation of Live and Televised Models by Children One to Three Years of Age

The Intentionality Model and Language Acquisition: Engagement, Effort, and the Essential Tension in Development.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bloom, Lois; Tinker, Erin – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2001
Examined 2-year-olds' language acquisition with an emphasis on the agency and intentionality of the child. Concluded that development depends on the child's expression of intentionality by actions (performance), the essential tension between the child's engagement and effort, and the integration of linguistic, cognitive, and social aspects of the…

Infant Visual Expectations: Advances and Issues.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Haith, Marshall M.; Wass, Tara S.; Adler, Scott A. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1997
Speculates on underlying processes for the reaction time variance and age differences in anticipation latency using the Visual Expectation Paradigm. Discusses the dichotomization of reactive and anticipatory behavior, limitations of longitudinal designs, drawbacks in using standard procedures and materials, and inferences that can be made…

Cognitive Development Is Abrupt (but Not Stage-Like).
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Brainerd, C. J. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1993
Focuses on the question of whether developmental improvement in performance on cognitive tasks is abrupt or continuous. Explains three model-based approaches to this question, and stresses that research conducted in these approaches has indicated that developmental improvements consist of jumps through discrete states. Concludes that these results…

Going beyond Nutrition: Nutrition, Context, and Development.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Wachs, Theodore D. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1993
Highlights the findings of the study by Pollitt et al. in this monograph that nutritional supplementation has long-term consequences for cognitive development and that the relationship of nutrition to cognitive performance does not fit a main-effects model. Also reviews methodological and conceptual issues unresolved by the study; and discusses…

Nutrition and Development: Considerations for Intervention.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pollitt, Ernesto; Gorman, Kathleen S. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1993
Responds to commentary on the Pollitt et al. study reported in this monograph. Posits that nutritional insults are sensitive to intervention. Discusses research methodology; methodological issues related to sex differences; the buffering influence of high SES and dietary supplementation against the adverse effects of poor diet and low SES,…

Attachment Theory: Retrospect and Prospect.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bretherton, Inge – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1985
Provides overview of attachment theory as parented by John Bowlby in "Attachment and Loss". Uses two major concepts from this work to interpret refinements and elaborations of attachment theory attibuted to Mary Ainsworth. Considers how recent insights into development of socioemotional understanding and development of event…

The Development of Mental Processing: Efficiency, Working Memory, and Thinking.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Demetriou, Andreas; Christou, Constantinos; Spanoudis, George; Platsidou, Maria – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2002
Examined, over 1 year, relations between information processing efficiency, working memory, and problem solving in sample of 8-, 10-, 12-, and 14-year-olds. Identified three-stratus hierarchy with individual dimensions organized in three constructs: processing efficiency, working memory, and problem solving. Found that individual dimensions were…

Breaking the Language Barrier: An Emergentist Coalition Model for the Origins of Word Learning.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hollich, George J. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2000
Presents emergentist coalition theory of language development characterizing lexical acquisition as the emergent product of cognitive constraints, social-pragmatic factors, and global attentional mechanisms. Details 12 experiments with 12- to 25-month-olds using the development of reference as test case of the theory. Presents evidence that…

Integration: An Agenda for Developmental Research.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Scholnick, Ellin Kofsky – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2001
Finds Bloom and Tinker's description and measurement of active, integrated, and situated children to be a credible scientifically rigorous paradigm for language acquisition research. Highlights their use of the naturalistic, observational method to understand the changing patterns of integration and use of multifaceted abilities in child language…

Modeling Growth and Individual Differences in Spatial Tasks.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Thomas, Hoben; Lohaus, Arnold – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1993
In 2 studies, subjects between 7 and 16 years of age indicated predictions for the water level in a tilted container or the position of a plumb line. Found that sex differences were evident at all ages; task performance improved with age according to a discrete stage process; and task performance was determined by field effects and rule strategy.…
