Nygaard, Egil; Jensen, Tine K.; Dyb, Grete – Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, 2012
The aim of this study was to evaluate the structure of posttraumatic stress reaction factors and their relation to general mental health problems in Norwegian children exposed to the tsunami on December 26, 2004. A total of 133 children and adolescents (ages 6-17) were interviewed 10 months posttsunami using the UCLA PTSD Reaction Index, and 104…

Lustig, Cindy; Meck, Warren H. – Brain and Cognition, 2011
The perception of time is heavily influenced by attention and memory, both of which change over the lifespan. In the current study, children (8 yrs), young adults (18-25 yrs), and older adults (60-75 yrs) were tested on a duration bisection procedure using 3 and 6-s auditory and visual signals as anchor durations. During test, participants were…

Anderson, Jeffrey A. – Remedial and Special Education, 2011
Systems of care can be used to help coordinate and direct resources both external and internal to a school, thereby providing critical supports for students with emotional and behavioral challenges that historically have not been available to educators. In this study, hierarchical linear modeling was used to longitudinally examine school…

Courvoisier, Delphine S.; Nussbeck, Fridtjof W.; Eid, Michael; Geiser, Christian; Cole, David A. – Psychological Assessment, 2008
The analysis of convergent and discriminant validity is an integral part of the construct validation process. Models for analyzing the convergent and discriminant validity have typically been developed for cross-sectional data. There exist, however, only a few approaches for longitudinal data that can be applied for analyzing the construct…

Temporal Generalization in 3- to 8-Year-Old Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Droit-Volet, Sylvie; Clement, Angelique; Wearden, John – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2001
Tested 3-, 5-, and 8-year-olds on temporal generalization with visual stimuli. Found increasing sharpness of generalization gradient with increasing age, and change from symmetrical to adult-like asymmetrical generalization gradients among 8-year-olds. Theoretical models attributed changes to increasing precision of the reference memory with…

Developmental Changes in Time Estimation: Comparing Childhood and Old Age.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McCormack, Teresa; Brown, Gordon D. A.; Maylor, Elizabeth A.; Darby, Richard J.; Green, Dina – Developmental Psychology, 1999
Examined developmental changes in time estimation among 5- to 99-year olds. Found that older adults and young children performed at lower levels than young adults; identified qualitative differences in error patterns of older adults and children. Proposed model of temporal generalization and bisection assuming developmental changes in noisiness of…

Functional, Cognitive and Semiotic Factors in the Development of Audiovisual Comprehension.
Korac, Nada – Educational Communication and Technology Journal, 1988
Purposes a semiotic model for analyzing messages of the cinematic medium in film and television, and demonstrates its applicability to the study of children's comprehension of these messages. Highlights include the effects of visual and temporal features on comprehension; film and photography; and cognitive-developmental factors in comprehension.…
