Yuewen Zhang; Zhenhong Wang – Developmental Science, 2024
Intra-individual response time variability (IIRTV) during cognitive performance is increasingly recognized as an important indicator of attentional control (AC) and related brain region function. However, what determinants contribute to preschoolers' IIRTV received little attention. The present study explored the interaction of dopaminergic…

Joan Birulés; Laura Bosch; David J. Lewkowicz; Ferran Pons – Developmental Psychology, 2024
We presented 28 Spanish monolingual and 28 Catalan-Spanish close-language bilingual 5-year-old children with a video of a talker speaking in the children's native language and a nonnative language and examined the temporal dynamics of their selective attention to the talker's eyes and mouth. When the talker spoke in the children's native language,…

Kelly, Michelle P.; Reed, Phil – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2021
Stimulus over-selectivity is said to have occurred when only a limited subset of the total number of stimuli present during discrimination learning controls behavior, thus, restricting learning about the range, breadth, or all features of a stimulus. The current study investigated over-selectivity of 100 typically developing children, aged 3-7…

Panesi, Sabrina; Morra, Sergio – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2020
The structure of executive functions in preschoolers is controversial. Miyake and colleagues found that, in adults, inhibition, shifting, and updating are correlated but distinguishable processes; this finding was sometimes replicated with schoolchildren. Based on schoolchildren data, Im-Bolter, Johnson, and Pascual-Leone proposed a four-component…

Ghodrati, Saeed; Askari Nejad, Mohammad Sadegh; Sharifian, Maryam; Nejati, Vahid – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
Inhibitory control plays a crucial role in cognitive functioning. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of a program for attentive rehabilitation of inhibition and selective attention (PARISA), on inhibitory control in preschool children. Thirty preschool children, (10 girls) aged six were randomly assigned to the two control and intervention…

Prasanna, Aparna; Anakkathil Anil, Malavika; Bajaj, Gagan; Bhat, Jayashree S. – Cogent Education, 2022
Little is explored regarding the modality-specific differences in recall abilities of preschool children. Understanding modality-specific differences in the recall at an early age might give an insight into age-linked trends, which can lay a foundation for later development. The current study used a cross-sectional design to investigate the…

Helm, Abigail F.; McCormick, Sarah A.; Deater-Deckard, Kirby; Smith, Cynthia L.; Calkins, Susan D.; Bell, Martha Ann – Infant and Child Development, 2020
When children transition to school between the ages of 4 and 6 years, they must learn to control their attention and behaviour to be successful. Concurrently, executive function (EF) is an important skill undergoing significant development in childhood. To understand changes occurring during this period, we examined the role of parenting in the…

Shuwairi, Sarah M.; Tran, Annie; Belardo, John; Murphy, Gregory L. – Infant and Child Development, 2020
Prior work showed that infants look longer at impossible figures than possible ones, although it is unclear whether they or older children understand "impossibility." We employed a series of matching and sorting tasks with pictures and objects to evaluate children's knowledge of this dimension. In Experiment 1, nearly all children…

Lundy, Allison; Trawick-Smith, Jeffrey – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2021
Physical activity--including outdoor motor play--has been associated with learning and brain-related functions and abilities in elementary school children and adolescence. Few studies have been conducted on the relationships between active play and these cognitive processes in preschool aged children. Several investigations have revealed that…

Bialecka-Pikul, Marta; Bialek, Arkadiusz; Kosno, Magdalena; Stepien-Nycz, Malgorzata; Blukacz, Mateusz; Zubek, Julian – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2022
The current research aims at constructing a developmentally sensitive mindreading scale (i.e., a battery of tasks measuring different aspects of mindreading ability in children from 1 to 3.5 years of age). Over 300 Polish children were tested at six-month intervals with 48 different tasks designed to measure mindreading ability (for a total of six…

Wetzel, Nicole; Scharf, Florian; Widmann, Andreas – Child Development, 2019
Attention control abilities are relevant for learning success. Little is known about the development of audio-visual attention in early childhood. Four groups of children between the ages of 4 and 10 years and adults performed an audio-visual distraction paradigm (N = 106). Multilevel analyses revealed increased reaction times in a visual…

Is 10 Better than 1? The Effect of Speaker Variability on Children's Cross-Situational Word Learning
Crespo, Kimberly; Kaushanskaya, Margarita – Language Learning and Development, 2021
The current study examined the effect of speaker variability on children's cross-situational word learning (XSWL). The study also examined the role of bilingual experience and sustained attention. Forty English monolingual children and 40 Spanish-English bilingual children ages 4-7 completed a XSWL task in a Single Speaker Condition and a Multiple…

Williams, Aya Inamori; Uchikoshi, Yuuko; Bunge, Silvia A.; Zhou, Qing – Early Education and Development, 2019
This study examined the concurrent relations of English (EL) and heritage language (HL) proficiency to executive functions (EF) among low-income dual language learners (DLLs) from immigrant families. In a sample of 90 children (age = 38-70 months) from Chinese-speaking Chinese American and Spanish-speaking Mexican American families recruited from…

Longobardi, Emiddia; Spataro, Pietro; D'Alessandro, Marta; Cerutti, Rita – Early Education and Development, 2017
Research Findings: The present cross-sectional study investigated the question of whether 6 different temperament dimensions (inhibition to novelty, social orientation, motor activity, positive emotionality, negative emotionality, and attention) influenced cognitive and affective theory of mind (ToM) in 168 children (86 three/four-year-olds and 82…

Sheridan, Susan M.; Knoche, Lisa L.; Edwards, Carolyn P.; Kupzyk, Kevin A.; Clarke, Brandy L.; Moorman Kim, Elizabeth – Early Education and Development, 2014
Research Findings: This study reports the results of a randomized trial of a parent engagement intervention (the Getting Ready intervention) on directly observed learning-related social behaviors of children from low-income families in the context of parent-child interactions. The study explored the moderating effect of parental depression on…
