Kim Schmidt; Pius T. Tanga – South African Journal of Childhood Education, 2024
Background: This article emerged from a larger qualitative study, which revealed that children continue to be exposed to a complex range of risk factors with devastating consequences for their well-being. Gaps in services further hinder their development. The study concluded that there is a need for multidisciplinary teams to implement an early…

Glykeria Fragkiadaki; Marilyn Fleer; Prabhat Rai – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2024
Science concept formation has a long history in early childhood educational research. Most of the studies in the field focus on the way children form science concepts as preschoolers. However, less is known about the nature of science concept formation for children under 3 years of age. This study explores how early childhood teachers create the…

M. Wong; Pei Jun Woo – Developmental Science, 2024
We report the findings of a multi-language and multi-lab investigation of young infants' ability to discriminate lexical tones as a function of their native language, age and language experience, as well as of tone properties. Given the high prevalence of lexical tones across human languages, understanding lexical tone acquisition is fundamental…

Gert-Jan Vanaken; Ilse Noens; Jean Steyaert; Lotte van Esch; Petra Warreyn; Kristien Hens – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Autism is increasingly viewed as an expression of neurodiversity deserving accommodation, rather than merely as a disorder in need of remediation or even prevention. This reconceptualization has inspired calls to broaden the ethical debate on early autism care beyond matters of efficient screenings and effective interventions. We conducted 14…

Sanne L. C. Veldman; Jessica S. Gubbels; Amika S. Singh; Johan M. Koedijker; Mai J. M. Chinapaw; Teatske M. Altenburg – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2024
Aim: This systematic review aims to summarize evidence on correlates of fundamental motor skills in typically developing children aged 0-4 years. Methods: A literature search (PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, and SPORTDiscus) was performed from 2000 till 23 May 2022. Inclusion criteria was cross-sectional and prospective studies examining associations…

Karlis Kanders; Louis Stupple-Harris; Laurie Smith; Jenny Louise Gibson – Infant and Child Development, 2024
Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) is rapidly becoming ubiquitous in many contexts. There is limited scholarship, however, in the fields of Developmental Psychology and Early Childhood Education exploring the implications of generative AI for babies and young children. In this Perspectives piece, we discuss potential use cases,…

DeVeney, Shari L.; Kyvelidou, Anastasia; Mather, Paris – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2021
Background and Aims: The purpose of this exploratory study was to expand existing literature on prelinguistic vocalizations by reporting results of the first home-based longitudinal study examining a wide variety of behaviors and characteristics, including early vocalizations, across infants at low and elevated risk of autism spectrum disorder…

Nagy, Beáta Erika; Gáll, József Mihály; Szele, Anna Szabina – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
The aim of our study is to describe the neuromotor development of preterm and low birth weight infants at 1 and 2 years of corrected age, and to examine the extent to which perinatal, neonatal, socio-demographic, and neuromotor development indices measured at the age of 1 are able to predict infants' development indices at the age of 2. Our sample…

Marimon, Mireia; Höhle, Barbara – Infant and Child Development, 2022
The Headturn Preference Procedure (HPP) is widely used in infant research. Previous studies have shown that speech perception measures obtained with HPP are related to later language skills which may make them a potential instrument for an early detection of developmental language risks. The present study assessed the reliability and stability of…

Pauen, Sabina; Peykarjou, Stefanie – Developmental Psychology, 2023
This study explores how 7-month-old infants categorize graphical images varying in basic perceptual features by using a fast periodic visual stimulation (FPVS) task. Most participants were Caucasian and their parents had a higher education, but the family's socioeconomic background was mixed. Experiment 1 (N = 23) tested brain responses to…

Salih C. Özdemir; Asli Aktan-Erciyes; Tilbe Goksun – Journal of Child Language, 2023
Parents are often a good source of information, introducing children to how the world around them is described and explained in terms of cause-and-effect relations. Parents also vary in their speech, and these variations can predict children's later language skills. Being born preterm might be related to such parent-child interactions. The present…

Karaskiewicz, Chloe L.; Witczak, Lynea R.; Lau, Allison R.; Dufek, Madison E.; Bales, Karen L. – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2021
Relationships support social animals' health, but maintaining relationships is challenging. When transitioning to parenthood, new parents balance pair-bond maintenance with infant care. We studied pair-bond maintenance via affiliation in 22 adult titi monkey pairs ("Plecturocebus cupreus") for 16 months centered around their first…

Saverio, Bellizzi; McDougall, Lori; Manji, Sheila; Lincetto, Ornella – Journal on Education in Emergencies, 2021
Current estimates are that more than one-third of the annual neonatal deaths worldwide occur in humanitarian and fragile settings (United Nations Population Fund 2015). In this article, we focus on the recent multistakeholder effort to produce the "Roadmap to Accelerate Progress for Every Newborn in Fragile and Humanitarian Settings…

Smith, C. G.; Jones, E. J. H.; Wass, S. V.; Pasco, G.; Johnson, M. H.; Charman, T.; Wan, M. W. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Internalising problems are common within Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD); early intervention to support those with emerging signs may be warranted. One promising signal lies in how individual differences in temperament are shaped by parenting. Our longitudinal study of infants with and without an older sibling with ASD investigated how parenting…

Kim, Jeong Ah; Park, Sungwoo; Fetters, Linda; Eckel, Sandrah P.; Kubo, Masayoshi; Sargent, Barbara – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2022
Exploration is considered essential to infant learning, but few studies have quantified infants' task exploration. The purpose of this study was to quantify how infants explored task space with their feet while learning to activate a kick-activated mobile. Data were analyzed from fifteen 4-month-old infants who participated in a 10-min mobile task…
