Pauline Frizelle; Ana Buckley; Tricia Biancone; Anna Ceroni; Darren Dahly; Paul Fletcher; Dorothy V. M. Bishop; Cristina McKean – Journal of Child Language, 2024
This study reports on the feasibility of using the Test of Complex Syntax- Electronic (TECS-E), as a self-directed app, to measure sentence comprehension in children aged 4 to 5 ½ years old; how testing apps might be adapted for effective independent use; and agreement levels between face-to-face supported computerized and independent computerized…

Vakkas Yalçin – Science & Education, 2024
Given early childhood is a critical period for acquiring the twenty-first-century skills, the present study aimed to examine the effect of design-oriented STEM activities on the twenty-first-century skills of preschool children in line with the experimental design. A mixed factorial analysis of variance (ANOVA) of 3 (time: pre-test, post-test and…

Tori K. Flint; Marietta S. Adams – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2024
In order to create and foster learning spaces that build upon children's knowledge and experiences, we must respect and value their ways of knowing and being, including their play. Accordingly, this study highlights the ways that young children (re)imagined spaces, materials, and identities through their digital play in an analog (containing no…

Sara C. Diaz de Villegas; Claudia L. Dozier; Ky C. Kanaman; Stacha C. Leslie; Marissa E. Kamlowsky – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2024
In synchronous-reinforcement schedules, the duration of behavior directly controls the duration of reinforcement on a moment-to-moment basis. We replicated and extended Diaz de Villegas et al. (2020) by comparing the effects of synchronous reinforcement with two accumulated-reinforcement schedules for increasing on-task behavior for seven…

Delhii Hoid; Ziyan Guo; Zhibin He; Junhui Wu; Zhen Wu – Developmental Science, 2024
Disparities in socioeconomic status (SES) may affect individuals' risk preferences, which have important developmental consequences across the lifespan. Yet, previous research has shown inconsistent associations between SES and risky decision-making, and little is known about how this link develops from a young age. The current research is among…

Nourah Ibrahim Albash; Maryam Hafez Turkestani – Early Years: An International Journal of Research and Development, 2024
Educational intervention is known to enhance learners in general, including deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) learners in particular. This study is a systematic review to identify educational interventions in Arab experimental studies published from 2008 to 2019 concerning deaf and hard-of-hearing children in preschool. The study used Google Scholar…

Wanqiu Meng; Caroline F. D. Black; Min Feng – Infant and Child Development, 2024
Children whose families experience socioeconomic disadvantage are at risk for poor sustained attention, a foundational skill related to goal-oriented behaviour, self-regulation and kindergarten readiness. Maternal parenting behaviours and parenting stress are theorised developmental pathways linking socioeconomic status (SES) to children's…

Nijole Bražiene; Skaiste Koviene – Journal of Pedagogy, 2024
In Lithuania, citizenship education for preschool children was not regulated until 2022, and consequently the related issues have not yet received much attention from Lithuanian researchers. However, based on the insights of scientists from other countries it can be argued that in order for children to be active citizens when they grow up, it is…

Kaltefleiter, Larissa J.; Schuwerk, Tobias; Wiesmann, Charlotte Grosse; Kristen-Antonow, Susanne; Jarvers, Irina; Sodian, Beate – Developmental Science, 2022
Unsuccessful replication attempts of paradigms assessing children's implicit tracking of false beliefs have instigated the debate on whether or not children have an implicit understanding of false beliefs before the age of four. A novel multi-trial anticipatory looking false belief paradigm yielded evidence of implicit false belief reasoning in 3-…

Maier, Michelle F.; Hsueh, Joann; Somers, Marie-Andree; Burchinal, Margaret – MDRC, 2022
Researchers agree that for children who attend early care and education programs, high-quality early learning experiences are critical for promoting academic, social-emotional, and executive function skills, particularly for children of color and children from families with low incomes. Rigorous research testing the effects of interventions to…

Tillman, Katharine A.; Fukuda, Eren; Barner, David – Child Development, 2022
English-speaking adults often recruit a "mental timeline" to represent events from left-to-right (LR), but its developmental origins are debated. Here, we test whether preschoolers prefer ordered linear representations of events and whether they prefer culturally conventional directions. English-speaking adults (n = 85) and 3- to…

Berger, Philipp; Grosse Wiesmann, Charlotte – Developmental Science, 2022
The rapid detection and resolution of conflict between opposing action tendencies is crucial for our ability to engage in goal-directed behavior. Research in adults suggests that emotions can serve as a "relevance detector" that alarms attentional and sensory systems, thereby leading to more efficient conflict processing. In contrast,…

Billeci, Lucia; Callara, Alejandro Luis; Guiducci, Letizia; Prosperi, Margherita; Morales, Maria Aurora; Calderoni, Sara; Muratori, Filippo; Santocchi, Elisa – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Previous studies suggest that autism spectrum disorders are characterized by alterations in the microbiota-gut-brain axis. Probiotics may modify the composition and the functionality of the gut microbiota of autism spectrum disorder individuals, with possible cascading effects on brain function. In this study, we analyzed possible brain…

Leonard, Julia A.; Cordrey, Skyler R.; Liu, Hunter Z.; Mackey, Allyson P. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Learning requires effort, but children cannot try hard at everything. Here, we evaluated whether children use their improvement over time to decide whether to stick with a challenge. To eliminate the effect of individual differences in ability or prior knowledge, we created a novel paradigm that allowed us to surreptitiously control children's…

Yazici Arici, Elçin; Keskin, Hasan Kagan – Educational Policy Analysis and Strategic Research, 2023
The study aims to examine whether the interaction of parents' education and income levels has a significant effect on the creativity scores of preschool children. The research was conducted in a district of Ankara, where parents are thought to vary in terms of income and education level. 123 children studying in independent kindergartens…
