A. Delcenserie; F. Genesee; F. Champoux – Developmental Science, 2024
Recent evidence suggests that deaf children with CIs exposed to nonnative sign language from hearing parents can attain age-appropriate vocabularies in both sign and spoken language. It remains to be explored whether deaf children with CIs who are exposed to early nonnative sign language, but only up to implantation, also benefit from this input…

Although parent-child conversations about race are recommended to curb White U.S. children's racial biases, little work has tested their influence. We designed a guided racism discussion task for U.S. White parents and their 8-12-year-old White children. We explored whether children's and parents' (a) pro-White implicit biases changed pre to…

Danielle S. Fox; Leanne Elliott; Heather J. Bachman; Elizabeth Votruba-Drzal; Melissa E. Libertus – Child Development, 2024
Children's spatial activities and parental spatial talk were measured to examine their associations with variability in preschoolers' spatial skills (N = 113, Mage = 4 years, 4 months; 51% female; 80% White, 11% Black, and 9% other). Parents who reported more diversity in daily spatial activities and used longer spatial talk utterances during a…

Emiddia Longobardi; Mara Morelli; Matilde Brunetti; Stefania Sette; Pietro Spataro; Fiorenzo Laghi – Infant Mental Health Journal: Infancy and Early Childhood, 2025
Social understanding competence develops in sensitive and co-regulating caregiver interactions. Parental reflective functioning (PRF) and parenting stress can affect children's social understanding. This study investigated if children's social understanding was associated with PRF and parenting stress. Parents of 305 Italian children aged from 24…

Madigan, Sheri; Plamondon, André; Jenkins, Jennifer M. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Observational studies have shown that caregiver sensitivity predicts child language skills. These studies, however, have entirely relied on between-family designs (single parent-child dyad per family), which cannot rule out the contribution of shared family confounds (e.g., genetics, books in home). The current study investigates whether observed…

Walters, Glenn D. – Youth & Society, 2024
The goal of this study was to determine the significance of variable order when it comes to using child and parent reports of parental support to predict delinquency. It was hypothesized that a social context variable (parental support as rated by the parent) would precede a perceptual variable (perceived parental support competence as rated by…

Simin Cao; Chuanmei Dong; Hui Li – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Digital technologies are increasingly integrated into the daily lives of young children. However, disparities in access and use quality, known as the 'digital divide,' persist. Parents play a crucial role in narrowing this divide during early childhood, but the underlying mechanisms remain inconclusive. This study investigates how family…

Jennifer J. Phillips; Cheyenne A. Williams; John H. Hunter; Martha Ann Bell – Infant and Child Development, 2024
Measures of parasympathetic regulation, such as respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), predict executive function outcomes, including inhibitory control, across childhood. Respiratory sinus arrhythmia augmentation tends to be associated with more maladaptive outcomes, compared to RSA suppression, but the literature regarding RSA profiles and…
