Barney, Chantel C.; Tervo, Raymond; Wilcox, George L.; Symons, Frank J. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2017
Assessing tactile function among children with intellectual, motor, and communication impairments remains a clinical challenge. A case control design was used to test whether children with global developmental delays (GDD; n = 20) would be more/less reactive to a modified quantitative sensory test (mQST) compared to controls (n = 20). Reactivity…

Jayaraman, Swapnaa; Fausey, Caitlin M.; Smith, Linda B. – Developmental Psychology, 2017
Recent evidence from studies using head cameras suggests that the frequency of faces directly in front of infants "declines" over the first year and a half of life, a result that has implications for the development of and evolutionary constraints on face processing. Two experiments tested 2 opposing hypotheses about this observed…

Hospelhorn, Emma; Radinsky, Josh – Discourse Processes: A multidisciplinary journal, 2017
Musical performances provide a rich context for studying complex spatial and embodied modes of group learning. This article proposes a framework for analyzing gesture in musical performances to highlight the ways musicians' movements reflect and promote their emerging and changing conceptions of a piece of music. The constructs of "expressive…

Song, Yu; Lei, Shunwei; Hao, Tianyong; Lan, Zixin; Ding, Ying – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Due to benefits for teaching and learning, an increasing number of studies have focused on classroom dialogue and how to make it productive. Coding, in which the transcribed conversation is allocated to a set of features, is commonly employed to deal with the textual data arising from this dialogue. This is generally done manually and cannot…
