Bock, Stacey Jones; Borders, Christy – Advances in Special Education (MS), 2012
Students with emotional and behavioral disorders (E/BD) present unique challenges to the families and educators supporting them.

Topitzes, James; Mersky, Joshua P.; Reynolds, Arthur J. – Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 2012
Research suggests that child maltreatment predicts juvenile violence, but it is uncertain whether the effects of victimization persist into adulthood or differ across gender. Furthermore, we know little about the mechanisms underlying the victim-perpetrator cycle for males and females. Consequently, this study analyzed associations between child…

Casler, Krista; Terziyan, Treysi; Greene, Kimberly – Cognitive Development, 2009
When children use objects like adults, are they simply tracking regularities in others' object use, or are they demonstrating a normatively defined awareness that there are right and wrong ways to act? This study provides the first evidence for the latter possibility. Young 2- and 3-year-olds (n = 32) learned functions of 6 artifacts, both…

de Barros Pereira Rubin, Maraci Coelho – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2009
This paper argues that analyzing the patterns of individual subject performance in tests of comprehension of passives might give insight into how little children interpret passives: 3 and 4 year-olds seem to go through a range of passive interpretation, that varies from actual comprehension to total non-comprehension. The fact that some small…
