Theories of social-cognitive development have attributed a foundational role to declarative joint attention. The present longitudinal study of 83 children, who were assessed on a battery of social-cognitive tasks at multiple measurement points from the age of 12 to 50 months, tested a predictive model of theory of mind (false-belief…

Schonert-Reichl, Kimberly A.; Oberle, Eva; Lawlor, Molly Stewart; Abbott, David; Thomson, Kimberly; Oberlander, Tim F.; Diamond, Adele – Developmental Psychology, 2015
The authors hypothesized that a social and emotional learning (SEL) program involving mindfulness and caring for others, designed for elementary school students, would enhance cognitive control, reduce stress, promote well-being and prosociality, and produce positive school outcomes. To test this hypothesis, 4 classes of combined 4th and 5th…

Pfeifer, Jennifer H.; Masten, Carrie L.; Borofsky, Larissa A.; Dapretto, Mirella; Fuligni, Andrew J.; Lieberman, Matthew D. – Child Development, 2009
Classic theories of self-development suggest people define themselves in part through internalized perceptions of other people's beliefs about them, known as reflected self-appraisals. This study uses functional magnetic resonance imaging to compare the neural correlates of direct and reflected self-appraisals in adolescence (N = 12, ages 11-14…

Leahy, Robert L.; And Others – American Journal of Mental Deficiency, 1982
Retarded (N=24) and nonretarded (N=46) individuals matched on MA and CA were tested on role-taking, self-image, and imitation. The findings supported the view that role-taking ability is a function of cognitive level and that self-image and imitation are determined by both cognitive and experiential factors. (Author)

Eaton, Warren O.; Von Bargen, Donna – Child Development, 1981

Dickstein, Ellen B.; Warren, David R. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1980
The study compared the cognitive, affective, and perceptual role taking skills of 38 learning disabled (LD) children (ages 5 to 8) with those of a control group of normal children. Ss were administered three role taking tasks which measured their skills in each of the domains. The results demonstrated a role taking deficit in the LD children.…

Gilligan, Carol – New Directions for Child Development, 1987

This paper presents the theory that altruistic motives develop out of the synthesis of empathic distress and the child's increasingly sophisticated cognitive development, especially his level of self-other differentiation. An examination of empathy and the sense of other is included, followed by a discussion of empathic distress, various forms of…

Greene, A. L. – Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 1986
Using a cross-sectional sample of 60 Caucasian adolescents, a study was designed to test the hypothesis that the observed changes in adolescent future-time perspective are due to the emergence of formal-operations reasoning. Data obtained through individual interviews provide only limited support for a cognitive hypothesis. (Author/LMO)
