Direct linkKyle M. Frost; Anamiguel Pomales-Ramos; Brooke Ingersoll – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Joint attention and imitation are thought to facilitate a developmental cascade of language and social communication skills. Delays in developing these skills may affect the quality of children's social interactions and subsequent language development. We examined how responding to joint attention and object imitation skills predicted rate of…

Hauschild, Kathryn M.; Pomales-Ramos, Anamiguel; Strauss, Mark S. – Developmental Science, 2021
Visual attention measures of receptive vocabulary place minimal task demand on participants and produce a more accurate measure of language comprehension than parent report measures. However, current gaze-based measures employ visual comparisons limited to two simultaneous items. With this limitation, the degree of similarity of the target to the…

Cinar, Eda; Chaput-Langlois, Sophie; Fitzpatrick, Caroline; Garon-Carrier, Gabrielle – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
This study investigates how individual-level factors contribute to classroom engagement variations of boys and girls across the elementary school years. Classroom engagement was assessed four times between the ages of 7 and 12 years in a large, representative population-based sample (N = 877) using latent growth modeling. Predictors included the…

Mastery motivation predicts achievement, but intricacies amongst preschoolers are unclear. In keeping with the Specificity Principle, school-age, and adolescent research demonstrates the importance of considering the "setting conditions" in which mastery motivation is observed. Here, Singaporean 4-year-olds' (N = 63)…

Bruce, Madeleine; Miyazaki, Yasuo; Bell, Martha Ann – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Receptive vocabulary development was examined in 313 children (151 girls; 78% White) as a function of infant attention and maternal education (66% of mothers held a college degree or higher). Attention was measured at 10 months using a dynamic puppet task and receptive vocabulary was measured at 3-, 4-, 6-, and 9 years of age using the Peabody…

Xing, Xiaopei; Wei, Yutong; Wang, Meifang – Developmental Psychology, 2022
By using a three-time longitudinal design, the present study focuses on three components of executive function (EF), respectively, to examine whether the relation between EF and receptive vocabulary was reciprocal and whether the direction of the above relation would differ by EF components and child gender. A total of 320 Chinese preschool…

This study aimed to explore whether early developmental abilities are related to future executive function (EF) in children with motor delays. Fourteen children with motor delays (Mean age = 10.76, SD = 2.55) were included from a larger study. Object interaction and developmental outcomes (Bayley-III) were evaluated at baseline and 3, 6, and 12…

Cinar, Eda; Fitzpatrick, Caroline; Almeida, Maíra Lopes; Camden, Chantal; Garon-Carrier, Gabrielle – Canadian Journal of School Psychology, 2023
This study investigated the contribution of fine and gross motor skills to academic and attentional performance at school entry among 832 boys and girls. Children were tested on their fine and gross motor skills (locomotor, object control) and their academic performance in receptive vocabulary, number knowledge, and attentional skills at 6 to 7…

Although it has been found that autistic children exhibit delays in executive function abilities and atypical patterns of attention, less is known about the relationship between executive function and attention abilities and social and language skills in early childhood. In this study, 180 autistic children, age 2-8 years, participated in a study…

Pham, Theresa; Bardell, Taylor E.; Vollebregt, Meghan; Kuiack, Alyssa K.; Archibald, Lisa M. D. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Working memory and linguistic knowledge are highly intertwined in language tasks. Verbal working memory in particular has been studied as a potential constraint on language performance. This, in turn, highlights the need for a clinical assessment tool that will assist clinicians in understanding individual children's performance in…

Samudra, Preeti G.; Wong, Kevin M.; Neuman, Susan B. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Preschoolers can learn vocabulary from educational videos, but children from low-income backgrounds often do not learn as effectively as their higher income peers. We investigated whether adding attention-directing cues to media (Study 1) and slowing the pacing of media (Study 2) supported vocabulary learning for preschoolers from low-income…

Lancaster, Hope Sparks; Li, Jing; Gray, Shelley – Journal of Research in Reading, 2021
Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between selective visual attention (SVA), reading decoding, listening comprehension and reading comprehension in children with and without a reading disorder. Methods: We used longitudinal data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. We split children into four…

Chow, Jason C.; Ekholm, Eric; Bae, Christine L. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2021
It is common in intervention research to use measures of working memory either as an explanatory or a control variable. This study examines the contribution of cognitive abilities, including verbal working memory (WM) and attention, to language performance in first- and second-grade children. We assessed children (N = 414) on two forms of verbal…

We investigated the early sociocognitive battery (ESB), a novel measure of preverbal social communication skills, in children with autism participating in the Paediatric Autism Communication Trial-Generalised (PACT-G). The associations between ESB scores, language and autism symptoms were assessed in 249 children aged 2-11 years. The results show…

Wilson, C. Ellie; Saldaña, David – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2019
The ability to disengage attention and reengage elsewhere has been proposed as a fundamental deficit in the autism spectrum, potentially disrupting development of higher cognitive domains. Eye-movements were recorded while 16 autism spectrum children of mixed ability, and 18 typically developing age-matched controls, completed the Gap-Overlap…
