Zehra Al Fahdawi; Cheryl Dissanayake; Ifrah Abdullahi; The Victorian ASELCC Team – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Children typically learn by attending to other people. Autism traits may impact access to social stimuli fundamental to early learning, increasing children's likelihood of a learning disability. Recent reports have highlighted that Autistic children from minority backgrounds have a higher likelihood of co-occurring intellectual disability. This…

Erin R. Baker; Cjersti J. Jensen – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2024
Early childhood aggression is a ubiquitous and developmentally normal behavior; however, different report sources (e.g., child self-report vs. teacher) often yield markedly different interpretations. The current study examined how typical demographic and cognitive factors that have been previously found to explain child behavior (e.g., SES,…

Kerr-German, Anastasia N.; Buss, Aaron T. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2020
Between the ages of 3 and 5, children develop greater control over attention to visual dimensions. Children develop the ability to flexibly shift between visual dimensions and to selectively process specific dimensions of an object. Previous proposals have suggested that selective and flexible attention is developmentally related to one another.…

Despite findings that developmental timing of maltreatment is a critical factor in predicting subsequent outcomes, children's developmental stage is understudied in maltreatment research. Moreover, childhood maltreatment is associated with the development of maladaptive peer relationships and psychopathology, with social cognition identified as a…

Girard, Dominique; Courchesne, Valérie; Cimon-Paquet, Catherine; Jacques, Claudine; Soulières, Isabelle – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
The current prospective cohort study investigated whether early perceptual abilities, measured at preschool age, could predict later intellectual abilities at school age in a group of 41 autistic (9 girls, 32 boys) and 57 neurotypical children (29 girls, 28 boys). More than 80% of the autistic children were considered minimally verbal.…

Brito, Gabriel; Leon, Camila; Ribeiro, Camila; Trevisan, Bruna; Dias, Natália; Seabra, Alessandra – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2022
Evidence points to the possibility of promoting executive functions (EF) through school interventions. Little is known, however, about the effectiveness of this type of intervention in situations of social vulnerability. This study investigated the effectiveness of an EF intervention program applied with a sample of preschool children, in a…

Shaw, Janet – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
The paper looks at the relevance of W.R. Bion's 'Theory of Thinking' to the interpretation of young child observations. Bion describes a process whereby emotional experience, when contained by a caregiver, gives rise to a capacity for symbol formation, which is at the root of imagination and language. The study consists of eight written hour-long…

By parent report, 16%--one out of six autistic children--had been expelled from a preschool or child-care setting prior to…

Zippert, Erica L.; Douglas, Ashli-Ann; Smith, Michele; Rittle-Johnson, Bethany – Grantee Submission, 2020
The current study broadens our understanding of preschoolers' early math experiences with parents, recognizing that math knowledge and experiences are inclusive of numeracy as well as non-numeracy domains. Parents and preschoolers (N = 45) were observed exploring three domains of early mathematics knowledge (i.e., number, space, and pattern)…
